Phoenix on Tuesday broke a heat record that stood in the city for nearly five decades. Shortly before noon local time, temperatures hit 110 degrees Fahrenheit, marking the 19th consecutive day at or above that mark — the most ever recorded in the city and an unenviable new milestone in the low desert.

The previous record was set in 1989 and was broken by one day obviously (so far).

Speaking of Phoenix, we've often talked about the downsides of building a metropolis in the middle of a parched desert. 

But I didn't realize that 74% of Arizona's water goes to agriculture.

Why are we trying to grow crops in the desert?

The land is usually fairly fertile, aside from water, and folks who bought the land realized they could make the land much more valuable by irrigating it.  I recall they grow a lot of cotton out there which has fairly high water demands.

The Central Valley in California is somewhat similar, very fertile, very dry, and enormously productive with irrigation.

How many cities don't have crops growing all around it?

There were "only" 27 overall days at 110+ in 1989.  The top 5 overall days of 110+ in a year have all been since 2016.
The top of the list was 2020, with 50-something days of 110+.
