A dangerous heat wave is threatening a wide swath of the Southwest with potentially deadly temperatures in the triple digits.
A man walks along a sidewalk under the misters, Friday, July 14, 2023 in downtown Phoenix. Phoenix hit 112 degrees on Friday, marking the city's 15th consecutive day of 110 degree-plus temperatures and putting it on track to beat the longest measured stretch of such heat. The record is 18 days, recorded in 1974. Desert residents accustomed to scorching summers are feeling the grip of the heat wave hitting the Southwest this week.
Charles Sanders spent Friday afternoon with his Chihuahua mix Babygirl at the air-conditioned Justa Center, which offers daytime services to older homeless people in downtown Phoenix. It's also serving as a hydration station, distributing free bottles of water. “This weekend there will be some of the most serious and hot conditions we’ve ever seen,” said Hondula.
Dr. Ashkan Morim, who works in the ER at Dignity Health Siena Hospital in suburban Henderson, Nevada, spoke Friday of treating tourists this week who spent too long drinking by pools and became severely dehydrated, and a stranded hiker who needed liters of fluids to regain his strength.
