The report said two-thirds of the county’s heat-related deaths in 2023 were people 50 years or older, and 71% were on days the National Weather Service issued an excessive heat warning.
Last summer, Phoenix experienced the hottest three months since record-keeping began in 1895, including the hottest July and the second-hottest August. The daily average temperature of 97F (36.1C) in June, July and August passed the previous record of 96.7F (35.9C) set three years ago.
Phoenix also set a record in July with a 31-day streak of highs at or above 110F (43.3C).

That's what happens when you put the temp sensor at the airport near asphalt and other sources of heat like jet engines.
