"It feels like I’m a little pig, like a rotisserie chicken in Walmart spinning around, you know?" tourist Sky Summer told FOX Weather on Monday. Still, there have been plenty of people out on the Las Vegas Strip braving the high temperatures. Satya Soviet Patnaik shields himself from the sun while waiting in line to take a photo at the historic Welcome to Las Vegas Sign during a heat wave in Las Vegas, Nevada, on July 14, 2023. On Tuesday, two dozen record-high temperatures are at risk of being broken. Daytime highs will routinely reside in the triple digits in the Desert Southwest and Texas, and feel like triple digits along the Gulf Coast and Florida. Record-breaking heat is expected in the Four Corners states, Texas to the Lower Mississippi Valley and South Florida each day. With the current forecast, the streak will likely continue well past Tuesday.
According to the National Weather Service, this breaks the previous 18-day record set in 1974. On Tuesday before noon, Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport hit 110 degrees, marking the 19th consecutive day with a temperature at or above 110 degrees. The extreme heat has lasted long enough in Arizona to break a nearly 50-year-old temperature heat streak record. Feels-like temperatures, or how warm the body thinks the air is when humidity and other factors are taken into account, have already ventured into the 110- to 120-degree zone during the heat wave.
