Record-long extreme heat streaks are finally coming to an end, but despite the signs of relief, the dangerous heat isn't going away completely
The numbers so far this summer have been jaw-dropping: In El Paso, Texas, the high temperature topped 100 degrees for a record-breaking 44 straight days; in Miami, the heat index stayed above 100 degrees for 46 consecutive days; and in Phoenix, temperatures have been at or above 110 degrees for 31 consecutive days. All of those streaks will have ended by Monday if Phoenix hits its closer-to-average forecast high of 108 degrees.
The city will get a slight “break” from the heat Monday and Tuesday as the threat of monsoon rains rolls through, but highs will be back up above 110 degrees by midweek, possibly making it to 116 degrees by the weekend. Meanwhile, with little rain for relief, more than 40 million people across the Deep South and Southern Plains are still under heat alerts.
