Update-Phoenix has never seen a hot spell like this so late in the year before

'It's going to be pretty intense': After reaching the first 110-degree day of the year, Phoenix could break records this coming week

No records were broken on Saturday and the first 110-degree day of the year in Phoenix occurring on June 12 was not unusual, weather service officials said. 

Phoenix is normally one of the hottest cities in the United States, but this year has been abnormally hot in the Valley of the Sun. As of Wednesday, Nov. 17, the city has tied or broken daily high-temperature records on 33 occasions, including three times this week.
