The National Weather Service issued warnings about the “life-threatening heat conditions” in the US.

The high temperatures could be on par with Phoenix’s second hottest day in history, which fell on 28 July 1995 when it reached 121F (49C).

With the south-west entering another relentless scorcher, it’s essential that precautions are taken as residents enter into "very dangerous to potentially life-threatening heat conditions".

It’s important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water, even if you don't feel thirsty.

The NWS urged residents to use air conditioning when possible as fans may not be adequate.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, warning signs and symptoms of heat-related illnesses include muscle pain, dizziness, and nausea.

Phoenix authorities have closed some local hiking trails to avoid heat-related emergencies and be smart about summer hiking.

The latest heatwave is part of a larger trend and is due to the climate crisis.

It's more important than ever to take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit the impacts of climate change.

Stay in the shade as much as possible and avoid outdoor activities during the heat of the day.
