Maricopa County data shows heat-related illnesses are at their highest when the high temperature is 115 degrees or hotter.
"Once it's to like 105, it's nothing you can do," TJ Wilcher, a commuter in Downtown Phoenix, said."You got to get to that AC."
The 2018-2022 heat morbidity report states there was a 76 percent increase in the number of heat-related illnesses when the temperature increased from 105 to 110 degrees. “Once we start seeing them get into the 110s, kind of in the one-teens, we definitely start to see an uptick in the number of people presenting with heat-related illnesses," Banner Health Emergency Room Physician Dr. Moneesh Bhow said.
The more serious symptoms of a heat-related illness are when people stop sweating and become confused or altered. They're encouraged to seek medical attention right away.
