With all these records, one thing is clear: temperatures around downtown Phoenix tend to be a few degrees hotter than surrounding parts of the Valley. But why? It involves the urban heat island phenomenon.
With all these records, one thing is clear: temperatures around Downtown Phoenix tend to be a few degrees hotter than surrounding parts of the East, West or even North Valley. But why? A big factor is the Valley's Urban Heat Island. Concentration of buildings, concrete and asphalt absorb more heat, and hold on to it throughout the night. Meteorologist Krystal Ortiz explains the impacts of our rapidly growing city.The all-time record hottest morning low was set Wednesday at 97 degrees.
The previous record was 106.5 degrees set on the same day we reached 122 degrees: June 26, 1990. With all these records, one thing is clear: temperatures around downtown Phoenix tend to be a few degrees hotter than the surrounding areas. We've got rural areas, we've got the downtown area, and then we have suburban areas where our neighborhoods are. They all play a different part in how hot those temperatures go in the areas where there are more buildings, more concrete, more asphalt. We're absorbing more heat during the day thanks to the ground surface, and that temperature quickly climbs hotter than the surrounding parts of the Valley.
