"Climate breakdown has begun" as Phoenix breaks another heat record

Story by Andrei Ionescu, September 11, 2023

"According to the National Weather Service (NWS), on Saturday, September 9, the temperatures in Phoenix, Arizona set a new heat record, continuing to rise as the city broke its previous record of the most days at or above 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43.3 Celsius).

New record

"This was the 54th day this year that the temperatures in Phoenix surpassed 110F – one day more that the record of 53 days set in 2020. Moreover, the daily average temperature of 97F (36.1C) in June, July, and August surpassed the previous record of 96.7 (35.9) set three years ago.

"As the weekend highs were expected to range between 108F and 114F (with night temperatures between 80F and 88F), NWS issued an excessive heat warning until 8pm on Sunday.

Anthropogenic climate change

"The scientists blame anthropogenic climate change correlated to the advent of El Nino (a temporary warming of parts of the Pacific Ocean impacting weather all over the globe). However, since this natural phenomenon is expected to peak at the beginning of next year, 2024 will most likely break all the records set this year.

"'The dog days of summer are not just barking, they are biting,' warned United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. "Climate breakdown has begun.'"

📷 The tallest in the neighborhood. It's 79º in my part of the today at 2:30, and 85º is forecast for Thursday. That'll top the record (77º) for that date.

If it's this in , will it be 125º in August, traditionally our hottest (and muggiest) month? Last August, we saw feels-like 113º for two days.
