February Climate Summary

Warmest Winter on Record

The more active weather pattern will continue through early next week as a strong, but initially dry weather system takes shape close to our region into the weekend. This will lead to more breezy to locally windy conditions, particularly across southeast California today and Saturday. Dry conditions will continue to prevail through at least Saturday with only around 20-30% chances for light rain mainly on Monday.

Cooler temperatures will be seen today as a deeper, but dry weather system begins to take shape over our region. Breezy to locally windy conditions are expected to continue through Saturday mainly across southeast CA. A quick warm up is expected this weekend before briefly turning cooler into early next week as another weather system potentially brings some light rain to the area on Monday. Strong high pressure is then likely to take over later next week pushing temperatures to well above normal again.

This was the warmest February on record for Phoenix and El Centro and Yuma recorded the 5th warmest February on record. Mean temperatures at all 3 climate sites were between 6 to 8 degrees above the monthly average.

It was officially the warmest meteorological winter (Dec-Feb) on record in Phoenix with an average temperature of 64.0 degrees. This shatters the previous record of 61.3 degrees set last winter.
