Phoenix ties record high on Feb 2nd
It felt a bit like early April in Phoenix today (Feb 2nd) as Sky Harbor's high temperature came in at 82º! That's 13º above average for the day and ties the record high set back in 1925!
This also marks the first 80º+ day of the year, which is only a day early compared to the 30-year average first day of Feb 3rd.
The earliest first 80º day of the year occurred on Jan 1st and has happened three times (1918, 1981, and 2012). The latest first 80º day was in 1973, when we held off until April 6th.
We all know the heat is coming sooner or later in Phoenix, but hopefully, we are not talking about the first 100º day for another couple of months!
