That AZ Central article seems to agree with my assessment.

I'd read it if their website wasn't so horrible.

Unless Phoenix's sprawl is controlling the weather across the entire nation this is much larger than anything you can blame on the valley. The entire Western 2/3's of the country is well above average right now, it's way bigger then what you're indicating here.

You're not crazy, it IS crazy hot in Phoenix
This article also confirms my suspicions .

It's not just this year Our winters are getting shorter and urban spawl and the heat island effect are a contributing factor.

A mid October heat surge is fairly normal but it shouldn't last long. Sucks though, Las Vegas and St. George are already down into the 80's.

That is hotter than normal for them as well, the normal high in Las Vegas today is 76°

Firebird, you weren't the only one geeking out over this. I was really happy we hit 100...98 or 99 is just as unpleasant without the neat historical record/trivia aspect to enjoy.

It's really not that bad out at all with the lower sun angle and the long nights. That said, it would be nice to stop running the AC at my house so I really do hope we transition into typical November weather here next week...we have such a short long-sleeves and jackets season as it is.
