Barely into spring, Phoenix flirts with first triple-digit heat day of 2025

PHOENIX (AP) — Phoenix flirted with its first 100-degree day of the year on Tuesday, though it fell just short of that milestone.

The metro area was expected to reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit (37.7 Celsius) on Tuesday, but the forecasted high temperature was later revised to 98 degrees (36.6 Celsius).

Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport ended up recording 99 degrees (37.2 Celsius) around 2 p.m. Tuesday, breaking record set for this day in 2022 when it reached 96 degrees (35.5 Celsius).
