Valley's record heat
July '09 shaping up to be warmest month ever in Phoenix area

July 2009 will go into the history books as the hottest month the Valley has ever seen.

The National Weather Service looked at all the data for this July, then added the forecast temperatures for the last few days of the month.

The news was grim.

The average temperature for July will be 98.2 degrees. That includes the morning lows and afternoon highs. The previous record was 97.6, set in July 2003.

This July will also set the record for the highest average minimum temperatures for the month. The average low will likely be 87.1 degrees.

The average high temperature is expected to be 109.4, the third highest on record.

The reasons for the heat are complicated, but much of the trouble stems from a lack of moisture. No moisture means less cloud cover and fewer thunderstorms to cool things off.

Relief - a relative term - is on the way. Today's high is expected to reach only about 108 degrees.

"That might feel, almost, a little bit pleasant," said Leslie Wanek of the Weather Service.

So enjoy.
