  1. Blazing summertime heat just won’t quit across the desert southwest as a truly historic October heat wave continues this weekend.

    Phoenix, Arizona, has seen daytime high temperatures crack the 40-degree mark every day since the last week of September. This is a remarkable event for a region that typically starts seeing relief from the searing heat by the middle of autumn.

    Phoenix set a daily record high on Sept. 24 with a high temperature of 42.2°C. The city set another record high of 45.0°C the following day. And yet another the next day. And again the day after that.
