Evening Weather Forecast - 7/10/2025
It looks like we are bidding farewell to temperatures in the 110s. For now, at least.
PHOENIX - Temperatures cooled down a few degrees Thursday, but it was still a scorcher with highs in the 110s in the Valley.
Today:
National Weather Service forecasters said Phoenix saw a high of 113°F on July 10. The record high, set in 1934, was 115°F. Near-record temperatures were seen state-wide.
The extreme heat warnings expire at 8 PM Thursday evening for all of Arizona, except the Grand Canyon, where the extreme heat warnings will stay in effect through Sunday evening.
This Weekend:
Temperatures will continue to cool down Friday through the weekend, but they will stay warmer than normal. It looks like we could find more relief from the heat late-next week, as temperatures drop closer to 105.
Skies will be dry across the state on Friday, but isolated showers and storms will be possible along the Rim and White Mountains on Saturday and Sunday. Daily rain chances in the mountains will continue through next week.
Looking Further Ahead:
We may see some rain in the Valley by late next week.

Driving in extreme temperatures
The Arizona Department of Transportation’s tips for driving in extreme temperatures include:
Have sun protection: In addition to an umbrella, take sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat and wear loose-fitting, light-colored cotton clothing.
Fuel up: Keep your tank at three-quarters full. Running out of gas, especially in a remote location, is dangerous in extreme heat.
Hydrate: Take a cooler to keep extra drinking water cold, and consider adding several frozen bottles of water to use for cooling off or to thaw and drink if needed. Make sure everyone, including pets, stays hydrated.
Get help: If your vehicle breaks down in extreme heat, call for assistance right away to reduce wait time, and run the AC. If the AC isn’t working, roll down all windows.
Wait safely: If the temperature inside your vehicle becomes too hot, everyone, including pets, should exit carefully and seek out or create a shaded area as far away from the travel lanes as possible. Be careful walking on the road surface, which can be hot enough to burn skin. Keep your shoes on and try to keep your pets’ paws off the pavement. If you are stopped along the highway, raise the front hood and turn on hazard lights. Please keep in mind that parking in tall brush can start a fire.
Check your vehicle: You can help avoid breakdowns and blowouts by making sure your vehicle is in good operating condition. Check your air conditioner and coolant levels, top off any vital engine fluids and make sure your battery is up to par. Check your tire pressure, as the combination of under inflated tires and hot pavement can lead to a blowout.
