California Braces for First Major Heatwave of the Year

California is set to experience a heat wave this weekend after a period of cooler-than-average temperatures. A high-pressure system moving into the Western United States will raise temperatures, with triple-digit readings expected in many parts of the state. The abrupt shift poses increased risks of heat-related illnesses, as people are not yet acclimated to warmer weather. Experts advise staying hydrated, keeping cool, and being cautious with fireworks due to the heightened fire danger.
