Phoenix Hits A Record Setting 99º
If you looked out the window today (Nov 9th) it seemed like a nice fall day. If you opened the window or walked outside, it felt more like the middle of September. The high in Phoenix topped out at 99º, which shattered a number of records.
First and foremost, this broke the record for the hottest November day on record. The old record was 96º and was set in 1924, 2009, and 2020. This also broke the record for the latest 99º+ high temperature on record, with the old record being Oct 27th, 2016. And last but certainly not least, it smashed the old record high for the day of 93º set back in 2007.
Just to note, the average high temperature for this time of year is 80º.
There is relief in sight, with a major cool down coming to the Valley of the Sun this weekend with forecast high temperatures dropping into the low 70s to upper 60s!
