TL;DR: 115F/46.1C
We were once in Phx when it was 118F. You couldn't get near a building, vehicle, or anything with mass or the radiant heat would bake you. Vehicle seats and dashboards required extra care as they would literally scald you. /r says locals keep oven mitts in their cars to handle the steering wheel, but they insist that it's not that hot --no humidity.
BS. No thanks!
I heard that the Phoenix area stay above 100 degrees all night long sometimes in the Summer.
