Winter’s over — the temperature was 100 degrees at Sky Harbor Airport yesterday.
According to the National Weather Service, it hit 100 at 1:15 p.m. yesterday, April 28, which is only slightly earlier than usual.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $17,250 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
Of course, Valley residents would know that 100 degrees is kids’ stuff — when it hits 110 degrees is when it starts getting real, and starts approaching 120 degrees in the summer.
Still, it’s quite the improvement over January, when, for a few days, Anchorage, Alaska was warmer than Phoenix.
The NWS says the 100-degree plus temperatures are only lasting through Tuesday, for now.
