How a Texas meteorologist is getting Alaska to take heat seriously
Jason Laney knows heat. The National Weather Service meteorologist spent 14 years crafting weather-related warnings in El Paso, where summer temperatures regularly rocket above 100 degrees. But Laney took a leap of faith less than a year ago, moving with his wife and two dogs from America's southern border to Alaska, where he helped change the way officials communicate about weather — and made history doing so.

Palm Springs experiences hottest day of 2025; will the city see cooler weather this week?
The temperature in Palm Springs soared to 117 degrees Sunday afternoon, giving the city its hottest day of the year so far, according to National Weather Service data. While that temperature was enough to make Sunday the hottest day of 2025, the high fell a few degrees shy of the record high for June 15. NWS meteorologist Sam Zuber said the record high temperature of 120 degrees at Palm Springs International Airport was set in 2021. That temperature was only four degrees shy of the city's all-time high of 124 degrees, which was set last year on Independence Day. Prior to Sunday, the highest temperature so far in June had been 110 degrees set twice on June 8 and June 9. The average high temperature for June 15 is 105 degrees but will climb to 107 degrees by the end of the month. Zuber said the unseasonable heat is a result of a large area of high pressure settled over the southwestern United States and stretching from California to the four corners region. As if the heat wasn't oppressive enough, another familiar weather challenge was also brewing across the Coachella Valley. South Coast AQMD issued an air quality alert Sunday afternoon that warned that strong winds could result in blowing dust and unhealthy air quality through 8 a.m. on Tuesday. The warning stated that gusts of up to 50 mph are expected in the wind-prone San Gorgonio Pass, while gusts of 25 to 35 mph are expected in both Palm Springs and Indio although some areas in between were expected to see lighter winds. While gusts of above 40 mph had already been recorded at Whitewater on Sunday afternoon, the winds were only just starting to pick up in most of the rest of the valley. South Coast AQMD's online air quality map showed the air in the vast majority of the valley as rated 'moderate' as of around 4 p.m. Sunday. Desert residents can expect only limited relief in the coming days, Zuber said, with temperatures of above 110 degrees expected on Monday and then again on Wednesday before things gradually cool going into next weekend. Highs of 104 and 102 degrees are expected in Palm Springs next Saturday and Sunday, respectively. Paul Albani-Burgio covers growth, development and business in the Coachella Valley.

Arizona weather forecast: It's a hot Father's Day in Phoenix
The Brief Father's Day is one of the hottest days we've seen thus far this year in Phoenix. We're well into summer temps as our 10-day forecast doesn't see any double-digit highs. It's a classic Arizona Father's Day with temps well into the 100s. What we know "It's HOT out there today! We've already observed 109°F at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport early this afternoon, and it's still climbing. Protect yourself from the heat by drinking plenty of water and spending time in air conditioning as much as possible," the National Weather Service in Phoenix said around 1 p.m. on June 15. The high was 113. The low in Phoenix on Sunday morning was 81 degrees. Looking Ahead "High temperatures will be running 5-10 degrees above normal this week, with the hottest day being today. Temperatures will also be similarly hot on Thursday for South-Central and Southeastern AZ, following the passage of a dry and weak weather system early week," NWS said.

Scroll down this page for satellite and radar, day planner, records, current temperatures, 10-day forecast, forecast highs, and recent rainfall totals, plus live video feeds. The Arizona Department of Health Services stated the following precautions can be taken to prevent heat exhaustion or heat stroke: Stay in air-conditioned buildings Find a cooling center/hydration station Limit outdoor activity during the hottest part of the day (mid-day) Check on at-risk friends, family, and neighbors at least twice a day Drink water before, during, and after working or exercising outside Check the UV Index Check the heat risk map Call 511 anywhere in Arizona or 1-888-411-ROAD (7623) The Arizona Department of Transportation's tips for driving in extreme temperatures include: Have sun protection: In addition to an umbrella, take sunscreen and a wide-brimmed hat and wear loose-fitting, light-colored cotton clothing. Fuel up: Keep your tank at three-quarters full. Running out of gas, especially in a remote location, is dangerous in extreme heat. Hydrate: Take a cooler to keep extra drinking water cold, and consider adding several frozen bottles of water to use for cooling off or to thaw and drink if needed. Make sure everyone, including pets, stays hydrated. Get help: If your vehicle breaks down in extreme heat, call for assistance right away to reduce wait time, and run the AC. If the AC isn't working, roll down all windows. Wait safely: If the temperature inside your vehicle becomes too hot, everyone, including pets, should exit carefully and seek out or create a shaded area as far away from the travel lanes as possible. Be careful walking on the road surface, which can be hot enough to burn skin. Keep your shoes on and try to keep your pets' paws off the pavement. If you are stopped along the highway, raise the front hood and turn on hazard lights. Please keep in mind that parking in tall brush can start a fire. Check your vehicle: You can help avoid breakdowns and blowouts by making sure your vehicle is in good operating condition. Check your air conditioner and coolant levels, top off any vital engine fluids and make sure your battery is up to par. Check your tire pressure, as the combination of under inflated tires and hot pavement can lead to a blowout. MORE:
