A heat wave in Mexico has brought scorching temperatures to the city of Hermosillo, with thermometers registering a record high of 49.5 degrees Celsius (121 degrees Fahrenheit). The extreme heat, caused by an anticyclone and the Madden-Julian Oscillation, has affected 23 Mexican states, leading to weather alerts and over 110 heat-related deaths. The lack of cloud formation and urban sprawl contribute to the heightened sensation of the heat. Power outages have been reported, and authorities have distributed water and advised people to take precautions. The state of Sonora has experienced a high number of wildfires, exacerbating the already unbearable conditions.
