Phoenix 21 Days of Records
Posted: 15 Oct 2024 05:30 AM, Views: 402
On Monday, the high temperature for Phoenix, Arizona was 103 degrees and set a record high for the date. It was the 21st consecutive day with a daily high temperature either set or tied for the site. The high temperature on Tuesday is currently forecast well below the record high, so it would appear the streak will end at 21 days. The featured table presents these daily records based on the NWS daily climate reports for the site with data dating back to 1895! An immediate question is if this has happened before at any climate site? The answer is tricky due to considerations for how long of period of record is required prior to considering such a streak as significant. @climatologist49 pointed out that Burlington, IA has a 14 day streak during 1936 that presently exists within the climate record.
