Extreme Heat Sweeps Southwest and Southeast | California News
Description
A blistering heat wave is sweeping across the western U.S., with temperatures hitting 117°F in desert communities and stretching from Arizona to Florida. Phoenix is enduring three straight days above 113°F, with no relief until next week, while the Coachella Valley braces for its hottest stretch. Extreme heat warnings cover millions, and heat-related deaths in Phoenix have already surged to 18 this year — up from just five last year. Firefighters are treating heat stroke with cold water immersion, and fire weather alerts are in place as dry thunderstorms and low humidity create wildfire risks. The Southeast is also suffering, with heat indices soaring to 113–116°F, making this one of the most dangerous heat events of the season.
