Phoenix’s 19-day streak of dangerously hot days continues with temperatures soaring to 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43.3 C) or more.
Phoenix’s relentless streak of dangerously hot days was finally poised to smash a record for major US cities on Tuesday, the 19th straight day the desert city was to see temperatures soar to 110 degrees Fahrenheit or more.
“Long-term exposure to heat is more difficult to withstand than single hot days, especially if it is not cooling off at night enough to sleep well,” said Katharine Jacobs, director of the “This will likely be one of the most notable periods in our health record in terms of deaths and illness,” said David Hondula, chief heat officer for the City of Phoenix. “Our goal is for that not to be the case.”The last time Phoenix didn’t reach 110 F was June 29, when it hit 108.
That high pressure, also known as a heat dome, has been around the Southwest cooking it for weeks, and when it moved, it moved to be even more centered on Phoenix than ever, Smith said. Since 1983, Phoenix’s average daily summer temperature has increased 3.6 degrees, it’s daily high temperature has gone up 3.2 degrees and it’s nighttime low has gone up 4.4 degrees, according to NOAA.
Another aspect of heat waves that disproportionately affects certain communities is the urban heat island effect, where cities are warming because of buildings and lack of trees and greenspace, said Dr. Jonathan Patz, a professor of health and the environment at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
