Record heat wave reaches West Coast
The western United States is experiencing an unprecedented, intense heatwave caused by a strong heat dome, resulting in temperature rises of 6 to 11 degrees Celsius above normal. This has led to record-breaking temperatures in many areas, especially in California and Arizona. The heatwave poses serious health risks, including heat-related fatalities, increased wildfires, and lowered water levels in major reservoirs. Conditions are expected to remain extremely hot for several weeks. This phenomenon is part of the broader impacts of climate change, which is making heatwaves more powerful and longer-lasting, with warnings about their negative effects on the lives of millions of people and the environment.
