The long-lived heat wave in the Southwest comes on the heels of a hot June that included several weeks of dangerously hot temperatures and humidity in Texas and across the South.<\/p>\n

Climate change is expected to make bouts of unrelenting heat more common in the future. Studies have shown that global warming is increasing the frequency, intensity and duration of extreme heat events.<\/p>\n

Forecasts show that the ongoing heat wave will continue to scorch the Southwest this week and into next week, and will expand across the southern portion of the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cNumerous heat-related advisories\/watches\/warnings are in effect from Florida to Texas to California,\u201d the weather service said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Dangerously hot conditions are projected to envelop much of Nevada later in the week and into the weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t want to sound like a broken record, but it\u2019s important you know that dangerous heat is coming!\u201d officials with the Las Vegas office of the NWS tweeted<\/a> Tuesday. \u201cTemperatures later this week may challenge daily and all-time records, with little-to-no overnight relief. Major to Extreme HeatRisk is anticipated!\u201d<\/p>\n

Temperatures in Las Vegas may hit 116 F several times over the next week. Forecast temperatures at Death Valley National Park, which straddles Nevada and California, could spike to nearly 130 F over the weekend, according to the <\/a>National Weather Service<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In some parts of Florida, heat index values, which represent how conditions feel when humidity and air temperatures are combined, will range between 105 and 110 F. High heat and humidity is also expected to spread from eastern Texas up into the southern and central Plains by midweek.<\/p>\n

Widespread excessive heat watches will take effect across California later this week, as temperatures are projected to spike into the high 90s and into the trip<\/a>le digits in places.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
