PHOENIX — We're getting a brief break from the extreme heat in the Valley!

We'll still be in triple digits, but temperatures will be slightly below normal for this time of year. Despite that, the UV Index is extreme today, meaning there is high risk of harm from unprotected sun exposure. Try to avoid the sun during midday hours and apply sunscreen frequently.

Temperatures will gradually climb this week, as we are expected to reach 110 again by the weekend.

As our forecast stays mostly sunny and dry, make sure you are staying hydrated, limiting your time outside during the afternoon heat, and wearing breathable clothing.

If you need to be outside, take frequent breaks in the shade and reapply sunscreen throughout the day.

Never leave children or pets in vehicles and bring your pets inside during the heat of the day too.

Monsoon moisture is starting to creep into eastern and southeastern Arizona, but our Valley forecast will stay dry over the next several days.

There are signs we could see our first round of monsoon storms in the Valley during the first week of July. We'll keep you posted as we get closer!
