These are just numbers that have manifested into a very real danger for people and animals. Baton Rouge, Louisiana, Kingman, Arizona, Miami and Las Vegas, have already clinched the number one spot for the warmest July on record. More than two dozen cities from California to Florida could end up setting records for the warmest July. July 2023 will go down in history books for many locations across the US southern tier. It was certainly a month for the record books.□ #azwx /AvtODKN00s- NWS Phoenix August 1, 2023 This beats the previous record of 99.1☏ set back in August 2020 by 3.6☏. It's official, this July was the hottest month in Phoenix on record, with an average temperature of 102.7☏. “It’s been a year of abnormalities and streaks, so it’s just a testament to just how strange this year has been,” said Ryan Worley, meteorologist for the National Weather Service office in Phoenix. With temperatures warming up to extreme highs and hardly cooling down overnight, July averaged a record-shattering 102.7 degrees for the month, the hottest month on record for any US city, let alone Phoenix, according to the office of the Arizona State Climatologist. It wasn’t just high temperatures breaking records: The city also set a new record warm low temperature of 97 degrees during the streak. The 31 consecutive days at 110 degrees or above broke the previous record by 18 days. Tuesday’s high temperature was 108 degrees in Phoenix, or 2 degrees above average. But the heat is far from over for Phoenix and millions of others across the Central US. One of the most exceptional heat streaks in US history finally ended Monday when Phoenix’s high temperature peaked under 110 degrees Fahrenheit for the first time in a month, a cumulative toll that has catapulted the city to the top of the record books.
