13 US states record heat coming, others threatened by floods and tornadoes
Тринадцать штатов на юге США — от Техаса до Кентукки — находятся под угрозой сильной жары. Ожидается, что в некоторых районах индекс тепла (показатель воздействия температур на тело человека, учитывая не только температуру воздуха, но и влажность) поднимется до 115 градусов по Фаренгейту (46 по Цельсию).
Эта неделя уже стала очень жаркой в таких местах, как Ларедо (Техас), где в понедельник был установлен температурный рекорд в 109 градусов Фаренгейта (43 Цельсия); а в Галвестоне (Техас) был установлен рекорд самой высокой ночной температуры — 86 градусов Фаренгейта (30 Цельсия), пишет ABC News.
Meanwhile, hot weather warnings have been issued in the southwestern United States and California in areas such as Phoenix, Las Vegas, Palm Springs and Sacramento, where air temperatures are projected to exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 Celsius).
