The upcoming days are expected to remain hot with dozens of heat records possibly being broken in various locations from California to Colorado. This hot weather follows a summer of extreme temperatures, with Arizona and California experiencing their warmest summers on record in 2024. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has reported that extreme heat is likely to worsen due to climate change. Research has shown that as the planet warms, heat waves will become more frequent, more severe, and will last longer. This trend is expected to continue in the future, highlighting the need for action on climate change to mitigate the impacts of extreme heat events.
