The National Weather Service issued an Extreme Heat Warning for the entire Phoenix metropolitan area, effective June 24 at 1:27 p.m. MST and expiring June 25 at 8 p.m. MST. Afternoon temperatures are expected to reach 107 to 113 degrees, with localized major heat risk across Northwest Valley, Buckeye/Avondale, Deer Valley, Central Phoenix, North Phoenix/Glendale, Scottsdale/Paradise Valley, East Valley, South Mountain/Ahwatukee, and Southeast Valley/Queen Creek.
Heat-related illnesses increase significantly during extreme heat events. Overexposure can cause heat cramps and heat exhaustion, which without intervention can lead to heat stroke. Residents should take extra precautions if working or spending time outside, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening, and drink plenty of water. In Maricopa County, call 2-1-1 to find free cooling centers, transportation, water, and other resources.
