, and officials are urging people to take precautions as heat this high can turn deadly.
Check how hot it will get where you live Forecasting from the National Weather Service predicts a high of 126 in Death Valley, California. Phoenix, Arizona, expects a high of 117 on Sunday, and Las Vegas, Nevada, is preparing for weekend highs of 113. Heat is the story over the next 7 days. We'll go from very hot to extremely hot over the weekend. The Excessive Heat Watch for Friday-Monday has been converted to a Warning.
— NWS Phoenix July 8, 2020 The National Weather Service uses different criteria for heat advisories in different parts of the country. An excessive heat warning indicates unusually high temperatures that could pose considerable health risks. In the southwest,"we use what we call a heat risk," said Marvin Percha, National Weather Service meteorologist. This is different from other areas of the country where heat indexes take a bigger importance in heat warnings.
— NWS Las Vegas July 9, 2020 Heat in Phoenix this weekend could break daily records. Phoenix's expected high of 117 on Sunday would beat the daily record for July 12 of 115, set in 2009. Heat in California and Nevada will come close to records, but not quite meet them. High heat is seasonally appropriate for the region, just usually not so high for so long.
— NWS Phoenix July 9, 2020 "If you have to be outside, try to limit your exposure and keep yourself well hydrated," Percha said."Seek air conditioned cooling centers if you have to." Phoenix has a map of public cooling centers. Check with local officials to find your nearest cooling center or water donation spot.

It's the global warming season Americans call summer. It gets hot. Pretty soon we'll move in to the global warming season of winter. It'll get cold. Then déjà vu all over again.
It’s as hot as Florida girls
Here we go now Fake news are going to switch to global warming because the other rhetoric isn’t working on destroying America or the President andthe evil fake news democrats Hollywood elites trying to divert attention to hide all their corruption and crimes!
Why is the heat graph color red, it,s racist
Wow!!!!!! That is EXCELLENT!!!!! The Hotter The Better!! (Just do not walk your dogs paws on the pavement).
If i were a religious man i might see this in biblical terms, god destroying a sinful nation and wiping foulness,death and corruption from the face of the earth, the annihilation of Ba'al etc all this seems analagous to america at the moment.
Hopefully take some more Americans out
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great covid does not survive over 80.
Plenty of solar energy there for the grid, looking on the bright side.
Make sure you wear a mask anyway in that heat, you may collapse with a heat stroke, but you will save someone else from a bad cold
