PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) - We have officially broken the record for 110+ degree days in Phoenix. In 2023, we have now had 54 days with temperatures at or above 110. The previous record was 53 days back in 2020; we only get 21 days a year on average.

OMG!!!  That sounds really awful!

I just came back from the beach for a few days.  I went to Cape May, NJ which is lovely but the weather was oppressive.  It was only in the low to mid 80s but the humidity was off the charts!!  The kind of humidity that as soon as you step outdoors you are drenched in sweat. It just hits you in the face and you feel moist all over...yuck!

We couldn't wait to get into AC whenever we ventured outdoors to do a bit of exploring & shopping.  Fortunately we had a nice afternoon on the beach.

@Desertdi  I live in Phoenix & we were in Vegas this past week & I couldn't believe how much cooler a city 4-1/2 hours away was!  The patios were filled at the restraunts in the area we were staying. It got hotter as week went on but not as bad as Phoenix.

This heat wave is getting VERY "tiresome" ....     di

@Desertdi  when we returned, it was like oh no not this oppressive heat again!  Were hoping for better days as a weather guy on 5 said he thought 110s were over. When will it end?

It topped out at 114.1°....also a record for the date

@Desertdi.  No, I didn't see that but our meteorologists talk about t

he heat in Phoenix all the time.  Our little Roswell didn't do too shabbily either with something like 60+ days of 100° + temps,  many around 110°.  This past week they broke the all-time high temp for September with 106°.

I hate to be disloyal but that place is a hellhole.  It's no wonder the aliens pulled up stakes and left.

@Kachina624     Lotsa folks around here think the "space aliens" are still around........

@Desertdi.  It's supposed to chill down to high 70s starting Tuesday with a chance of rain.   I'm counting the hours.
