Ty ONeil/AP What People Are Saying The NWS forecast office in Flagstaff, Arizona, said on X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday: "An Extreme Heat Warning remains in effect through Monday for the Grand Canyon below 4000'. Be sure to exercise enhanced caution with any outdoor activities, especially for individuals who are sensitive to heat." The NWS said on X on Wednesday: "During hot and humid weather, your body's ability to cool itself is challenged in ways you may not expect. When your body heats too rapidly, or when too much fluid or salt is lost through dehydration or sweating, you may experience a heat-related illness. Stay weather-ready by learning the symptoms of extreme heat exposure and the appropriate responses." NWS Phoenix said on X on Sunday:"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." What Happens Next The extreme heat warning for southern parts of Arizona is set to remain in force until 8 p.m. on Monday evening. The NWS issues regular forecast updates on its website and social media channels.
