Despite the extreme heat, many Arizonans are celebrating the nation's birthday by taking part in outdoor events.
As Arizona experiences its annual and infamous hot summer, the level of dangerous conditions, of course, doesn't decrease by the year.
"Once you’re used to it, it’s not as taxing on your body," said Kadeen Mansor, a hiker. "Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a hike.""I have the mountain to myself," Mansor."During the summer, I try to do it like twice a week," he said. Temperatures reached 116 on Monday, officially marking the hottest day of the year so far, but on the ground, things were much hotter.
Professional fireworks displays, such as an event at Lake Pleasant on July 3, are still taking place despite dry conditions in Arizona."Came out to see the band, the fireworks show, and just have a good evening," said Andrew Koslow.
