February Climate Summary

Warmest Winter on Record

Daily record highs and warm lows will likely be tied or broken through Monday.

Strong high pressure over the region will lead to well above normal temperatures. Afternoon highs will reach the middle 80s to mid 90s across the lower deserts and in the 80s across the higher terrain. This heat will result in Minor HeatRisk. So make sure to use extra precautions if spending time outdoors, especially if you're more sensitive to the heat.

A series of low pressure systems will progress through the Western CONUS late next week, which will result in temperatures cooling closer to normal by next weekend. Above normal precipitation will be favored across E Arizona.

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.
