TL/DR –
Phoenix, Arizona, has been experiencing higher than average temperatures, reaching 113 degrees in the past two days and nearing 110 degrees today. Slightly cooler temperatures are predicted due to a low-pressure system to the southwest, bringing in cooler air and gusts of up to 20 mph, particularly in mountainous areas. Temperatures will likely rise back to 110 degrees or higher from Tuesday to Thursday, before another low pressure drops them below 110 on Friday, and no rainfall is expected in the forecast.
