Last summer was the deadliest in Phoenix's history. 645 residents of Phoenix alone passed away due to heat related illnesses, and this summer's shaping up to be worse.
The hottest temperature ever recorded in the state of Arizona was 128 degrees on June 29th, 1994 over lake Havasu. The hottest summer recorded in the state was just last year. It won't get better in 2024.
The summer of 2023 in El Paso and across Texas was insane, setting records and causing problems from its semi-early start to it's blistering finish. 2024 may be worse.
