Phoenix's winning streak continues. This is what you can expect

Phoenix's relentlessly scorching summer continued on Sunday, with highs exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit for the 112th consecutive day.

Meteorologists had predicted that the heat wave in Arizona's hottest city could end on Sunday. But it ended up being drier and sunnier than expected. It rained in southern Arizona, but not in the Phoenix area.

At 2:56 p.m. Sunday, the thermometer at Sky Harbor Airport reached 106.2 degrees, said Gabriel Lojero, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service office in Phoenix.

The high temperature in Phoenix has not dropped below 38 degrees since May 26. Temperatures could still be above 38 degrees on Monday. Current forecasts call for highs of around 35 degrees through Tuesday as a low pressure system moves into the region.

“A few days ago, it looked like there was going to be more rain and more clouds today,” Lojero said Sunday afternoon. “The moisture that was supposed to be coming here has been pushed further south and east. … If you look at the current radar imagery, there is actually strong thunderstorm activity in the southeastern part of the state.”
