But they have already been immersed in blistering heat after a record-breaking spring season that brought early heat warnings, triple-digit days and a whole lot of sweat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone knows here, it gets hot. But it\u2019s not typically until later in the year,\u201d said NWS meteorologist Alicia Ryan. \u201cPeople usually aren\u2019t ready for these kinds of temperatures this early on in the year, so they might not be acclimated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The average temperature was 80.2 degrees this spring \u2014 specifically, March through May. That beat the previous record of 77.7 degrees set in 1989, and it\u2019s also nearly 10 degrees warmer than the average spring.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/phoenixrelocationnews.com\/?p=186\">Scottsdale-based MAGA influencer admits hair-pulling U.K. assault<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<iframe aria-label=\"Datawrapper visual\" data-external=\"1\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"503\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-Q0dym\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/Q0dym\/1\/\" style=\"width: 0;min-width: 100% !important;border: none\" title=\"Average Spring Temperature in Phoenix, 1924-2026\"><\/iframe> <\/div>\n<p>This spring saw temperatures well above average each month.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>March started off with a bang with an abnormally high-pressure system \u201cridging\u201d over the region and staying there, resulting in a \u201cheat dome\u201d that \u201cdefinitely helped boost the springtime averages,\u201d Ryan said. Phoenix reached 100 degrees for the first time in 2026 by late afternoon on March 18, the earliest triple-digit day that Phoenix has ever experienced. NWS also put out a series of heat warnings to the public from March 19 to 22, the earliest NWS had ever issued a heat warning for Phoenix. The month ended with an average temperature of 78.8 degrees, more than 15 degrees above normal.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The warm spring trend continued through April and May. Although the temperature slightly dropped in April, with an average of 77.6 degrees, the month\u2019s temperatures were still seven degrees hotter than average.
