Cities like Las Vegas and Reno in Nevada saw their high temperature records fall today, with the former location seeing an unconfirmed run at their all-time high temperature record at 116.1 degrees. Sacramento and Houston were among other big cities receiving broken high temperature records on this final day of June, with nearly 200 record high temperature-related records being set in the past 48 hours.
The heat wave looks to continue for at least another couple of days before the intense hot weather retreats and the weather pattern as a whole moderates. Remember to drink water often, and stay out of the sun as much as possible. This heat wave has already injured dozens, and it is possible the hospitals will be seeing more heat-related illnesses in the next few days if hydration and a relatively-normal body temperature is maintained.
