During this working week, the heat will hit South Texas, South Florida and the US Southwest the hardest, and will cover the Southwest by the weekend. Hot cities like Phoenix will get even hotter.

The latest heat wave is actually a continuation of the continuous heat wave that has never stopped in the South since mid-June.

As a result, Phoenix can break the record for several days in a row with temperatures above 43,3C. The temperature of 43,3C lasts in the city for 10 days and may break the record of 19 days on July 19.

“The earth is screaming right now, and people need to listen,” said Chief Meteorologist and Climate Director Bernadette Woods Pluckey. “This should be a wake-up call.” This is just not normal."

Plucky said we're pushing our planet to the brink with so many record-breaking hot days and temperature highs. The whole world is entering uncharted territory.

“This puts us in a completely new climate zone,” Plucky explained. — Processes on Earth increase the temperature even higher, the heat lasts longer. And this manifests itself in different ways, which greatly affects a person’s health.”

Since July 10, more than 40 million people from California to Florida have been at risk from the heat wave. Heat warnings have been issued for Miami in Florida and Houston, San Antonio in Texas, where heat indices peaked on July 10.

Nearly 100 record high lows could be recorded over the next five days.

While the temperature in the south should start dropping a few degrees over the weekend, the southwest heat will intensify.

Excessive heat warnings are in place for Las Vegas and Phoenix, where this week's highs will be 43,3C and higher. High temperatures will remain in the region for the long term.
