Over the weekend, 25 million Americans on the West Coast are facing heat alerts as triple-digit temperatures are expected from Phoenix to Las Vegas to Los Angeles. Downtown Los Angeles hit a record-breaking 112 degrees yesterday, highlighting the severity of the heatwave. Unfortunately, relief from the scorching temperatures is still days away.
The heat alerts span from parts of Washington down to Southern California, with Los Angeles under a warning until at least Monday. Record temperatures soared near 104 degrees in parts of California, with L.A.'s downtown area hitting 112 degrees, breaking a record set in 2020. Even areas as far north as Washington and Oregon experienced temperatures as high as 98 degrees.
