February Climate Summary

Warmest Winter on Record

A dry weather system will lead to an increase in winds Thursday. Widespread breezy to locally windy conditions are expected, with strongest winds across portions of Southeast CA, where a Wind Advisory will be in effect from 7 AM - 6 PM PST.

Temperatures will gradually cooldown through the week as the weather pattern shifts away from high pressure ridging to low pressure troughing. This shift will also bring some breezier conditions, especially on Thursday. Going into the weekend temperatures will increase slightly.

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.
