Heat Safety

Strong high pressure over the Southwest will lead to abnormally hot temperatures continuing into the weekend with temperatures 5-9°F above normal and near record territory at times. This will result in Major to Extreme HeatRisk across much of the lower deserts. The Extreme Heat Warning remains in effect through Saturday for much of the area.

Heat can escalate quickly. Make sure to drink plenty of water and electrolytes and wear loose-fitting light-colored clothes. Stay indoors in air conditioning as much as possible, especially during the afternoons. If you have to be outside take frequent breaks in the shade. Never leave people or pets alone in a closed car. Don't underestimate the heat, it's the deadliest weather hazard.
