The increasing frequency of extreme heat events in the Southwestern U.S. is alarming, with record deaths and temperatures highlighting the urgent need for effective climate action.
As heat records continue to break, the National Weather Service warns that the ongoing crisis is exacerbated by factors like climate change and certain medications.
