Phoenix Hits Record-Breaking Heat in March

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, reports that Phoenix hit 99°F in March, the earliest such extreme on record. Last year, the city endured 100 consecutive days of 100°F+ temperatures. This escalating heat disrupts industries like construction and strains city services, especially for the homeless and those without air conditioning. As temperatures rise earlier each year, Phoenix faces increasing challenges in sustaining its growth and protecting its residents.
