"Life-Threatening Heat Wave to Scorch Western US with Triple-Digit Temps"
The first major heat wave of the summer is set to hit the Western USA, with temperatures expected to reach dangerous levels in states like California, Nevada, and Arizona. Phoenix and Las Vegas could see highs of 111 degrees, while Death Valley may hit 124 degrees. The extreme heat, driven by a "heat dome" moving north from Mexico, has already sparked wildfires in California and poses significant health risks, especially for vulnerable populations. Residents are urged to stay cool, hydrated, and indoors as much as possible.
