"Phoenix's Record-Breaking Heat Wave Continues, Setting New Highs in Global Scorching"

Phoenix, Arizona, has broken its record for consecutive days with temperatures at 110 degrees or higher, as a historic heatwave grips the southern United States. The extreme heat is expected to continue for the next week, with temperatures forecasted to reach 110 degrees or higher daily. Hospitals are struggling to cope with the heat, with some patients being cooled off in ice-packed body bags. In Texas, advocates are calling for air conditioning in prisons as triple-digit temperatures turn them into a "living hell." Tropical Storm Calvin brought heavy rain and strong winds to Hawaii, while the Great Lakes region and the East faced air quality alerts due to Canadian wildfires. The Middle East is also experiencing record-breaking temperatures, with some areas exceeding 122 degrees Fahrenheit. Flash flooding and severe weather are possible in the Midwest and mid-Atlantic, with a risk of life-threatening and damaging floods.
