Anomalous heat is recorded in the southwest of the USA: what do the meteorologists say
Thursday will be another day of anomalous heat in the Phoenix area and throughout the southwestern desert. And this is the day after the city recorded a record temperature in 112 (44,4 Celsius) degrees.
“Across the desert Southwest, temperatures will again reach triple digits (Fahrenheit) on Thursday, followed by heat warnings for areas of southern California, southern Nevada and southwestern Arizona, including Las Vegas and Phoenix and their suburbs.” , said the National Weather Service.
Fortunately, weather forecasters have said that the intense heat will begin to subside on Friday in the southwest of the desert, including Phoenix.

Extreme heat has already ended in most parts of California and Oregon, after several days of record highs and near-record highs in cities such as San Francisco and Portland.
According to AccuWeather, the temperature in San Francisco on Monday reached 100 degrees (+ 37,7 Celsius). This happened 7 times during the entire time of temperature monitoring.
In Phoenix, after a pleasant May temperature difference, strong heat is now observed, which led to a warning about excessive heat.
"Anyone going outside is going to feel the heat," said Andrew Diemer, a meteorologist with the weather service in Phoenix.

On Monday and Tuesday, the maximums of 109 (42,7 Celsius) and 108 (42,2 Celsius), respectively, were recorded in Phoenix.
To avoid dangerous heat conditions, people need to be prepared—including making sure they know where to go if their air conditioning breaks down, making sure their pets are safe, and having water in case their car gets a flat tire.
“The truth is, heat kills,” Demer said.
He said that this unusually high heat is caused by increased pressure in the south-west, which will continue "most of the summer."

Temperatures are expected to cool Friday — the weather service predicts a high of 104 (40 Celsius) degrees — which is more typical for this time of year in Arizona, Diemer said.
While residents try to stay hydrated and avoid spending long periods of time outdoors, such as hiking, one of the most important things to do is keep community members safe.
“Look at family, neighbors, friends... just check on people,” Diemer said.
