SCORCHING HEAT FOR ANOTHER 1 WEEK PREDICTED FOR MILLIONS ACROSS U.S
The heat streak will continue next week and potentially into August in the Desert Southwest, Texas and South Florida.
The only hope for the Southwest is that sporadic monsoon rain will bring some temporary relief, however, the overall temperature pattern will remain hot.
Areas that do see any rain could see higher heat indices because of additional moisture and higher humidity coming in from Mexico.
According to the Climate Prediction Center, the greatest chance for above normal temperatures the next two weeks is in the Plains, parts of the South, including South Florida, and the Southwest, meaning temperatures should stay hot, it’s just a matter of how hot it will be.
If that holds true, then the heat wave will be approaching two consecutive months, or more than 50 days, over these same areas.
The heat also turned deadly in California on Saturday when Kai Torres Bronson, 24, died in San Diego County’s Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Brent Pascua, CalFire Captain told CNN.
North America, Europe and China have experienced heatwaves increasing over the last years as a result of warming caused by human activities, hence the current heat waves are not rare.
“This is the hottest summer I can recall,” Houston native Courtney Barrett told NBC News correspondent Priscilla Thompson in an interview. “Even going outside around 6 o’clock isn’t an option this year. It’s just too hot.”
The National Weather Service has also warned residents living in portions of the Four Corners states and parts of Texas of elevated fire weather risk due to extreme heat combined with dry ground conditions and gusty winds.
so a humble peace of advice don’t expose yourself to SUN unless its very urgent.
