Record Heatwave Scorches US, Las Vegas Hits 115°F+ for 7 Days

Las Vegas is experiencing record-breaking heat, with temperatures reaching up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit and a potential new record of seven consecutive days at or above 115 degrees. The extreme heat has led to the closure of public pools and museums, and has significantly altered daily routines, forcing residents and tourists to stay indoors. Cooling centers have been set up to provide relief, and emergency services are using new methods to treat heatstroke. The heat wave is affecting much of the western United States, with millions under heat alerts.
