Phoenix is situated at the northern side of the Sonoran Desert in the valley of the sun. It receives lots of sun but unlike San Diego it doesn’t have the Pacific Ocean next to it. So it doesn’t receive cool moisture. The Dryness and high pressure create intense heat during the summer and perfect summer temps in the winter. Phoenix also has a lot more concrete and a lack of greenery to prevent a urban heat island. This can raise temperatures tremendously in the Phoenix area. Elevation also effects it as if you go farther south to say Benson AZ it rarely gets over 100 degrees even though its farther south. The higher the elevation the lower the pressure the cooler the air.
