April 2026 Climate Summary

An approaching weather system has brought breezy conditions to the area. Winds will pick up even more as we head into this evening resulting in windy conditions for parts of the region. As a result a Wind Advisory remains in effect for the western half of Imperial County from this evening through tomorrow morning. Wind gusts in the evening and the overnight hours will generally be between 35-45 MPH. Locally stronger gusts will be possible in the typically prone southwest corner of Imperial County. Based on the prevailing wind directions, crosswinds and areas of localized blowing dust/sand may be a concern for drivers along I-8 in Southeast CA.

Breezy conditions have develop early this afternoon ahead of an incoming weather system. Winds will increase through the afternoon, peaking this evening. Today will also be the peak day for gusts with the stronger winds focused over the western portion of the lower deserts. Breezy conditions are expected again tomorrow.

To kick of the work week, a weather disturbance will affect the region early week leading to breezy to windy conditions and cooler, below normal temperatures. Rainfall chances should remain relegated to higher terrain locations and focused on Tuesday. During the latter half of the workweek high pressure will build back in with temperatures quickly rising back above normal by Thursday and triple digits by Friday.

The month of April, 2026, was above normal, for the high, low and mean temperature, while precipitation was slightly below normal. It was also the 3rd warmest April on record for Phoenix.
