A searing heat wave that has settled over a coast-to-coast swath of the U.S. is expected to push temperatures on Wednesday as high as 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius) in parts of the Southwest, creating dangerous conditions for nearly 100 million Americans.
From Southern California to South Florida, residents are under excessive heat advisories, watches and warnings that may stay in place through the weekend, the National Weather Service said.
In Phoenix, Arizona, the high was expected to reach above 110 F for the 13th successive day on Wednesday. The forecast puts the city's daily highs above 110 F at least through next Wednesday, which would shatter the record of 18 days above that mark set in June 1974. Phoenix residents were under "extreme heat risk, increase in heat related illnesses, including heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke," the service warned. "Heat stroke can lead to death."
In Texas, most will see temperatures in the upper 90s to above 100 F on Wednesday, while the heat index will make it feel like 114 F in some places through the weekend. Warm ocean water is causing the moist, humid air over much of the state that drives the heat index higher, Cook said. "There’s a heatwave coming!
