Phoenix ties the record high temperature on April 3rd
A very strong ridge of high pressure has been anchored over the Southwest US the past few days, resulting in record temperatures across the region.
Phoenix Sky Harbor recorded a high of 97º on Saturday (April 3rd), which tied the record for the day, last set in 1943.
Another interesting fact is the average high temperature so far this month (April 1st-3rd) has been 95.3º, which will go down as the 2nd warmest start to April since records began. The record warmest first three days of April goes to the year 1943, with an average high of 95.7º.
The heat was not confined just to the Valley of the Sun, with Flagstaff coming in with a high of 71º, which also tied the record for the day last set in 1961.
Stay cool!
