Las Vegas set a new record high again on Friday and Albuquerque tied its high mark, but forecasters said the weeklong heat wave that baked most of the U.S. Southwest earlier than usual in temperatures well into triple digits was on its last legs.
Andrew Dessler, professor of Atmospheric Science at Texas A&M University, speaks to The Associated Press about the science behind heat waves, Friday, June 7, 2024, at the university in College Station, Texas. RENO, Nev. —
“The heat wave will lose its grip on our region by Saturday evening,” the National Weather Service in Las Vegas said late Friday. In Phoenix, the high Friday topped out at 113 F for the second day in a row, but was 2 degrees shy of the daily record. The normal high in Phoenix for this time of year is 102 F .
There have been no reports of any heat-related deaths or serious injuries in the Southwest, but a 68-year-old man was hospitalized in stable condition in Phoenix on Friday after he was overcome with heat exhaustion while hiking on a mountain trail and rescued by fire crews.
