The Southwestern states have been roasting amid the most intense heat wave of the summer so far this year. “Mother Nature will provide no cooling relief in the near term. The heat is expected to expand its reach into the latter part of July,” said AccuWeather meteorologists.
Tens of millions of Americans remained under heat-related weather alerts at the end of the weekend, which stretched across much of the West and continued eastward into the South Central states. Excessive heat warnings were still in place for much of California, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona, where high temperatures have soared into the triple digits for days.
