"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.

The US will continue to be affected by the smoke depending on weather conditions and fire activity, as Canada experiences its worst fire season on record, with over 24 million acres burned so far.

"US Braces for Air Quality Alerts as Canadian Wildfires Spread Smoke"

Intense wildfires in Canada have led to air quality alerts in the United States, with smoke from the fires traveling across the border. The smoke can cause hazy skies, reduced visibility, and irritate the lungs, particularly for sensitive groups such as children, older adults, and people with lung diseases. To stay safe, it is recommended to stay indoors, wear an N95 mask when going outside, and run air conditioning on a recirculation setting. People with underlying lung or heart disease should consider investing in air purifiers for their homes.
