Phoenix wasn’t the only west coast city to shatter extreme heat records on Friday. The award for the hottest city on Friday goes to our friends just a few hours west: Palm Springs, California, where the mercury hit an all-time high of 124 degrees.
That sweltering high broke the city’s old record of 123 degrees which occurred three separate times; in 1993, 1995, and 2021.
According to the National Weather Service’s office in San Diego, several cities in the Coachella Valley tied or broke new records for July 5th.
