Newsweek - Americans are being advised to avoid drinking coffee, with forecasters warning of "dangerously hot conditions" across parts of Nevada, California, and Arizona.
The National Weather Service (NWS) warns that heat related illnesses increase significantly during extreme heat events.
It is generally recommended to avoid drinking coffee in hot weather due to its diuretic effect, which can lead to dehydration. Caffeine, found in coffee, can increase fluid loss through urination, making it harder for your body to stay hydrated, especially when you are already sweating more in the heat.
Some parts of south central Arizona were expected to see temperatures up to 115 degrees Fahrenheit. The agency warned that overexposure to major heat can cause heat cramps and heat exhaustion to develop. Without intervention, it can lead to heat stroke, it added.
