The upcoming days are expected to be hot, with dozens of heat records potentially being set in various locations from California to Colorado. The warm start to October follows a summer of extreme temperatures, with both Arizona and California experiencing their warmest summers on record in 2024. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has reported that extreme heat is likely to worsen due to climate change. Studies have shown that as the planet warms, heat waves are becoming more frequent, intense, and lasting longer. This trend is expected to continue in the future.
