Following a bout of extreme pre-summer heat in Texas and Florida, California and Arizona are next in line for temperature spikes. The National Weather Service is forecasting a heat wave throughout much of the Southwest and parts of California from Tuesday through Thursday as a ridge of high pressure centers over the region. The forecast suggests temperatures may climb to 113 degrees Fahrenheit in Phoenix and could reach 108 in California’s Central Valley.
” He noted that the heat wave beginning this week wouldn’t be uncommon for August in central California, but he said its early nature could make it more significant because “people aren’t adjusted to the heat.” “When we get an earlier season heat event, it can have more impact on people,” he said. In mountainous areas of the West, he said, early-season waves can also increase drowning risks, because people often flock to rivers running with fresh snowmelt.
