We're the envy of the nation right now, but this is not a normal January in Phoenix.

As of today:
#5 warmest for high temperature
#3 warmest for average temperature
#1 warmest for low temperature

Beautiful views across Arizona from this weekend's storm!

Not much rain in the Valley from it, but several inches of snow fell across the high country.

Check out the view from ABC15 viewer Dick McBlane in Pinetop.

Northern lights will be seen much farther south than usual tonight due to a severe geomagnetic storm (G4, scale of G1-5).

In AZ:
βœ…Get away from city lights
βœ…Look to the north
βœ…Use a camera
βœ…Likely just a red glow if we see it

Big spike in particle pollution expected Wednesday morning in the Valley!

Worst air quality will be in south-central areas of the #Phoenix metro.

Limit your outdoor activities in the morning, especially if you have any respiratory conditions like asthmas, bronchitis or COPD.

Our Valley forecast just keeps getting warmer!

#Phoenix hit 77Β° today, putting us only 2Β° below the record.

78Β° is in the forecast now for Wednesday and Thursday, but I wouldn't be surprise if we inched up into the 80s for the first time this year.

Warmest December on record in Phoenix!

Overall average temperature of 63.2Β° breaks the previous record set just last year of 62.3Β°.

Why? It's a combination of warming from greenhouse gases, our expanding urban heat island and La NiΓ±a.

More nights in the 60s than ever before!

December 2025 is climbing up the ranks in the top 10 list for warmest on record!

With more daily heat records in jeopardy before Christmas too, there's no doubt this will go down as one of the warmest Decembers on record in Phoenix.
