After a meltdown summer, Phoenix finally is getting just a glimpse — ever so briefly — of a cooldown.
PHOENIX — The National Weather Service said Tuesday’s high temperature was 93 degrees Fahrenheit at 4 p.m. MST."It’s not going to go to 100," meteorologist Gabriel Lojero said.That meant an end to Phoenix ’s streak of 113 consecutive days of highs reaching at least 100 degrees F ."It’s about time," Ramiro Solis said as he enjoyed a mid-morning walk Tuesday near downtown Phoenix . "That 100-degree weather, it’s not good at all.
"When it’s 105 or 110, it’s just too hot," said Tim Foster, 40, who delivers food orders in Phoenix on his electric bike. "Now with it cooler, I can get out and work longer. Get ahead of my bills and stuff."But the triple-digit temperatures are not a thing of the past just yet, according to the weather service.The highs for Wednesday through Saturday are projected to range in the mid to upper 90s with 102 degrees F Sunday and 103 Monday."We’re pushing the fall season.
