Just because this happens every year does not make it any less hot. And we are in a very toasty stretch right now. Since June 20, the high temperature in the Valley has been at least 109 degrees. And by the Fourth of July, we might wish it were only 109.
The National Weather Service is forecasting temperatures to hit a high of 116 degrees on the holiday. That's about 8 degrees above normal. Conditions today are expected to be intense as well. A heat advisory will be in effect from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., with highs in the Valley reaching up to 113. Meteorologists also are anticipating an increase in moisture by the end of the week. "This high-pressure system is likely to bring in moisture from New Mexico and Sonora," said Valerie Meyers with the National Weather Service. "That could bring the monsoon."

The monsoon usually results in periodic heavy thunderstorms in the Valley.
