Washington-Sana
For the third day in a row, most regions of the western United States are facing a severe heat wave in which temperatures have risen to record levels, which has led to wildfires and strained electricity networks.
Reuters quoted Eric Shoning, an expert in the US National Weather Service, as saying that the change in weather conditions brought some improvement to northern states, including Montana and Idaho, but it was harsh for California and parts of the southwest.
The National Weather Service issued warnings of extreme heat in the American West, explaining that these conditions could be "dangerous and deadly," and issued warnings of fire danger in California, Nevada and Utah.
Large wildfires are already burning in Colorado and Arizona.
Meteorologists say that the unusual heat wave in late spring was caused by high atmospheric pressure over the western desert areas and has caused an increase in demand for electricity with increased dependence on air conditioners and electric fans, amid calls by the relevant authorities in some states such as Texas and California to conserve energy and turn off Turn on unnecessary electrical and office equipment between five and ten in the evening.
