The National Weather Service is warning of 'dangerously hot conditions' in many areas of the western United States over the next few days.
The latest heatwave is expected to peak over the first half of this week, although hot conditions are forecast to persist for another 10 days at least.
"Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors. Young children and pets should never be left unattended in vehicles under any circumstances. Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside," the NWS said. On Sunday, the California Independent System Operator which manages the state's power grid, issued a statewide flex alert, urging people to conserve electricity each day from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. when temperatures are high and the setting sun reduces energy generated from solar panels.
