"Scorching Heat Wave Sweeps Across California and Nevada, Record-breaking Temperatures Expected"

A heat wave is expected to hit the Bay Area later this week, with temperatures reaching the mid-to-high 90s in many cities and up to 105 in inland areas. The Central Valley and Las Vegas are also forecasted to experience extreme heat, with temperatures reaching 114 and 117 degrees respectively. The heat is being driven by a high pressure system known as a "heat dome." Meanwhile, wildfires continue to rage in Canada, with record-breaking acres burned. Other parts of the United States, such as Florida and Texas, are also experiencing high temperatures and humidity. Climate change and El Niño conditions are exacerbating these extreme weather events, increasing public health threats and the risk of wildfires.
