It comes amid an ongoing widespread deadly heatwave along the US West Coast, where around 36 million people are under an excessive heat warning.
Las Vegas has seen its all-time temperature record amid an ongoing widespread heatwave along the US West Coast. The city in Nevada hit 49C for the first time on Sunday - a day after the temperature reached 46C there, which tied with a record set in 2007. Temperatures are running as much as 20 degrees above normal for this time of year in some places, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Bryan Jackson.
'From mid-week, the heat is expected to shift from California and Oregon, heading northwards to Washington state and eastwards over the Great Basin and Arizona. 'The Earth's highest recorded temperature stands at 134F , which was seen at Death Valley - not too far away from Las Vegas - back in 1913, but some question its accuracy.
