An extreme heatwave with severe intensity and potentially unprecedented duration is about to roast California over the next week.
Sacramento is forecasted to see 5 consecutive days above 109°F. The previous record was 3.
San Jose is forecasted to see 5 straight days above 100°F, tying the all-time record.
Even San Francisco will not be spared from the heatwave, with temperatures potentially climbing into the low 90s on Tuesday and Wednesday in the eastern part of the city.
Redding and the hottest parts of the Central Valley could see 7-10 straight days above 110°F. Redding could hit 117°F on Saturday.
Death Valley is forecasted to see 7 consecutive days of 127+°F, including a high of 129.6°F next Monday, just shy of the highest temperature ever reliably recorded on Earth.
#Greece continues to bake, 42C in places. Holidays are becoming hazardous. 5 people have been found dead after hiking. Latest case - 74-year-old Dutch tourist. 1 US and 2 French tourists still missing. The new climate will not be kind to those who take risks in it.
