Temperatures are expected to be at or above 107 degrees F each day this week in Phoenix, which means the heat index will be higher. This is not the first time temperatures have reached that level this year, and it will not be the last. In the summer of 2023, the temperature in this Arizona city was at or above 110 degrees for 54 days. Las Vegas has posted similar numbers.

New Record? –1,600 Tornados This Year?

Temperatures have been at more than just record levels in the West. Over 2,000 towns set records last week. These include places as far apart as Fort Lauderdale, Manchester, NH, Tucson, and Portland. The share size of the US affected has led climate scientists to say the heat is the result of global warming. These five cities have already posted record temperatures.

Maricopa County, including Phoenix, reported 645 heat deaths last year, 52% higher than the previous year. Because death certificates often show other causes, these numbers are low. No one has an exact number of heat deaths in the US.

Climatecrisis247 believes this is the “new normal” in the summer due to climate change. Other cities like Las Vegas will be affected by similar temperatures. There will be two major consequences. The first is to human life and health. The other is financial. Parts of both cities will be shut down immediately, and air conditioning use will soar, which will cause higher electricity bills.
