January 14, 2026: Phoenix ties record high

The high today at Phoenix Sky Harbor reached 81º, tying the record high for the day, last set in 2000. This is also 13º above normal for this time of year. Also, a fun fact to chat about: looking back at all January days since 1896, a high of 81º or higher has occurred only 51 times! In other words, just 1.3% of January days (51 out of 4,044 days).

Afternoon high temperatures are forecast to be well above average through at least the first part of next week.
