Southwest heat wave pushes US March record to 110F in Arizona
TL;DR Summary
A blistering late-winter heatwave pushed the US Southwest to March records, including Martinez Lake, Arizona at 110F—the hottest March temperature in US history. The previous 108F record, set in Texas in 1954, was tied, with other California towns hitting 108F as well. Phoenix reached 105F, and the heat is expected to persist with many spots hitting 100+F; scientists say global warming has made such heatwaves four times more likely in the past decade.
