Extreme heatwave scorches US southwest amid drought, hits record temperatures

Hindustan Times  

An extreme heatwave that has already shattered temperature records across the US Southwest threatened on Friday to push power systems to the brink of failure as residents cranked up air conditioners. California power grid operators, who have so far been able to keep the lights on, issued their latest "flex alert" for Friday, asking homeowners across the state to conserve energy in the late afternoon and evening when demand surges. The National Weather Service has issued excessive heat warnings for five states - California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and parts of Colorado - warning that temperatures soaring well above 100 degrees Fahrenheit can be dangerous. "Every year it's hot in the Southwest," National Weather Service meteorologist Bob Oravec said from the Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland.
