The 113-day streak of triple-digit temperatures shattered the previous record of 76 days set in 1993.
Heat-related deaths in Maricopa County have reached 256, with an additional 393 deaths suspected to be linked to the extreme heat.
The city averaged 40 days of 110°F or higher over the last five years, compared to about five days a century ago.
