You might not have noticed it, but Phoenix continued to stay warm over the weekend.
So warm, in fact, that the city set a record for the number of days in October that saw highs of 90 degrees or warmer.
Sunday marked the 26th day this month that the mercury topped 90. The old record, 25 days, was set back in 1952.
