    They say it was 107 degrees by 2 p.m. Friday before temperatures inched up to 108 degrees two hours later.

    Meteorologists say the city’s normal high for May 5 is 91 degrees.

    The average date Phoenix sees its first 105-degree day is May 23 while the average date for the first 107-degree high is May 31.
