Southwest Swelters as Monsoon Season Delays

A heat wave caused by a high-pressure dome over the Southwest is bringing scorching temperatures to areas from Florida to California, with experts predicting it could last for two weeks. The heat is affecting over 50 million people across the United States, and the monsoon season, which typically brings relief in the form of thunderstorms, is running behind schedule this year. The lack of rain is particularly dangerous for those without shelter, including migrants crossing the Arizona desert. The high temperatures are expected to continue for at least a week, possibly reaching record-breaking levels.
