Newsweek - Extreme heat warnings, issued by the NWS when "extremely dangerous heat conditions are expected or occurring" spanned southern Arizona and the Grand Canyon, as well as southeast California.
The agency said that "dangerously hot conditions," with afternoon temperatures up to 117 degrees would be possible in the Sonoran Desert National Monument, Aguila Valley, Tonopah Desert, Gila Bend, Cave Creek/New River, Fountain Hills/East Mesa, Superior, Northwest Pinal County, West Pinal County, and Apache Junction/Gold Canyon
"Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening," the NWS advised. "Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing when possible and drink plenty of water."
Elsewhere, less severe heat advisories were in effect for southern Florida, as well as southeast and far west Texas.
