No, it isn’t déjà vu.
Phoenix broke a high-temperature record for the third time in 2019 on Wednesday after breaking a record on Tuesday as well.
But while Tuesday’s record was broken by one degree — 113 degrees over the previous record of 112 degrees in 1986 — Wednesday shattered its previous record of 110 degrees in 2007 with a recorded high of 114 degrees.
The National Weather Service tweeted the announcement shortly before 2 p.m. The agency previously announced the broken record around 12:37 p.m. when the temperature reached 112 degrees. NWS didn’t say if it expects even higher temperatures later into the afternoon.
The agency advises people in the Valley to limit their outdoor activity and double check the backseat of their vehicle to avoid leaving children or pets inside.
