Phoenix is heating up again 🔥 Back to the 110s by Sunday and Monday... and yes, that’s with humidity slowly creeping back in🥵🌡️ Monsoon storm chances return midweek ⛈️
Scattered showers and t-storms impacting Pinal County and the southeast Valley, including Chandler ⛈️
Too soon to say non-soon, but it’s not a promising start…
Many of you out there have been saying this has been a lackluster monsoon so far and the data supports that. We have not been able to get good moisture to stick around, due to persistent southwest flow. Rainfall and lightning activity is well below normal for AZ. #azwx #cawx
🔥 It felt like a cooler summer in Phoenix, but 2025 is still in the record books. With an average temp of 95.0°, this summer ranks among the top 10 hottest summers to date at Sky Harbor.
The Dragon Bravo Fire in Arizona continues to burn, sending a plume of smoke into the air.
Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has died at 71 years old 💔🕊️

Fire activity on the Dragon Bravo Fire in the Grand Canyon has increased drastically today. Tankers were ordered to assist. Crews were able to hold their lines yesterday despite multiple spot fires. The Team stated this morning that last night was the final window for any…
🔥 The heat is coming back🔥 Air quality alerts return by the weekend...and so do the 110s by Sunday and Monday 🥵
Storm activity around the Phoenix Valley continues...Nice little downburst of localized heavy rain with the ⛈️ over Glendale! Beautiful View from the @maricopaflood roof camera as well 💪 #azwx #WeNeedTheRain

NEW: City of Phoenix says some Sky Chefs airline catering trucks at Sky Harbor still don't have adequately functioning AC, though the company has made "measurable progress" since earlier this month. Full story here at @abc15: abc15.com/news/local-new…
Some in the East Valley woke up to light showers this morning 🌧️ The rest of you? Yeah... you already know how this goes. Today might be the “coolest” day we’ll see for a while, too. Temps climb fast with 110°+ heat returning by Sunday and Monday.
Not crazy at all @VetAdventurer! So far, we've had the fewest 110°+ days since 2019 (16). Despite how it’s felt, however, this summer is still tied for the 8th-warmest on record in Phoenix🌡️
Hey @JorgeTWeather as a native Phoenician I am convinced this has to be one of the overall coolest summers on record. Relatively few days above 110 and several below 100. Am I crazy or is this the case?
🚨 Blowing dust rolls into Phoenix Monsoon outflows triggered a wall of dust across the Valley this evening, as seen from downtown @CityofPhoenixAZ
