The southern United States is groaning under extreme heat. At least 93 million people in the country have been warned of extreme heat, the U.S. Weather Service said Friday.
“This is the result of a high-pressure ridge over the American Southwest that will strengthen over the weekend,” it said. Record temperatures are expected.
In some regions in the south of the US states of California, Nevada and Arizona, temperatures of almost 49 degrees were predicted for the weekend. Further east in Texas, Louisiana or Mississippi humid heat of up to 46 degrees should be expected. Morning lows should also be “unusually” warm, according to the weather service. At the same time, the meteorologists predicted heavy rainfall for the northeast of the country. Flooding hit Vermont earlier this week. (sda/dpa)
