"But Global Warming is a HOAX!!!"

Extreme heat in Southwest could send temps toward 120 in Phoenix

Phoenix, Arizona could hit 120 degrees Fahrenheit (48.9 Celsius) by Thursday. This has happened only three times since 1929.

Temperatures already well into the triple digits across the Southwest are forecast to rise even higher as a heat dome intensifies over the region. An excessive heat warning is in effect for the Phoenix area. A new surge of heat in the southwestern United States will push temperatures to higher levels than experienced so far this summer and perhaps within a few degrees of all-time record levels in some locations. The extreme heat will pose dangers even for long-term residents who are used to extremely hot summers. And as the brush continues to dry out in the sweltering heat, the risk of wildfires will grow. AccuWeather meteorologists are particularly concerned about the intensity and duration of the heat in the coming days and weeks. They also note that temperatures will remain quite high during the nighttime hours. The southwestern U.S. is routinely a hot place in the summertime, but the upcoming heat in store for the middle of July will be extreme. Conditions may become life-threatening.

Phoenix has only reached the 120-degree-Fahrenheit mark three times since records have been kept dating back to 1929. The last time temperatures topped that mark was on July 28, 1995, when a high of 121 was recorded. The all-time record high of 122 was set on June 26, 1990. Phoenix is highly likely to reach the upper 110s for multiple days next week and could sneak to or just past the 120-degree mark provided no thunderstorms erupt to cool and moisten the local environment. When a downpour occurs, some of the sun's energy is used up evaporating moisture instead of heating the ground and the air. Currently Thursday appears to be most likely to break the 120 degree threshold in Phoenix. A high of 119 F is forecast for the city, which would break the current record for the date of 114 F that was set in 2020.

But just click your heels three times and repeat "There's no global warming. There's no global warming."
