Just another lovely day living in the #ClimateCatastrophe and yes, those numbers are Celsius, not Fahrenheit... (translates to +34℉ above average and "feels like" 101℉)

Record-shattering March temperatures in Western North America virtually impossible without climate change
The #heatwave poses a significant public health threat, particularly given its timing early in the season. The persistent #HeatDome is creating stable atmospheric conditions, suppressing cloud formation and precipitation, while allowing temperatures to climb, thus expected to cause persistent #heat. #ExtremeHeat is the leading cause of weather-related fatalities in the US. Limited overnight cooling and the lack of air-conditioning is expected to add to the heat stress, particularly for vulnerable populations in these parts who are not acclimatised to the heat, including tourists from cooler countries (CNN, 17 March 2026). This heat dome is breaking records for this time of the year, and is in some ways comparable to the persistent system that caused the 2021 Pacific Northwest (PNW) Heatwave. The PNW event occurred later in the year, in June, with temperatures of up to 48.9℃ (120℉) causing hundreds of fatalities (BBC, 17 March 2026).
"At my house in Colorado Springs, where we are 6,700 feet in elevation, highs could hit 90 degrees Fahrenheit this Saturday. The usual high temperature should be around 55 this time of year. Just outside Phoenix, a baseball spring-training matchup between the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds was rescheduled to 6:05 p.m. Friday, rather than a typical afternoon start time."
Record-shattering March scorcher: 70 million to bake in summerlike #HeatDome into weekend
Record-challenging heat will surge across the Southwest this week as a stubborn heat dome sends temperatures into the 90s and even past 100 degrees in some cities, levels more typical of late spring or early summer.

" Much of the Southwest will jump from springlike conditions to summerlike heat this week, with temperatures climbing well into the 90s in many areas and even topping 100 degrees in some locations which are more typical of early summer. The heat dome will have staying power and may not begin to weaken until this weekend to early next week.
A burst of summerlike heat will build across the Southwest this week, pushing temperatures in many areas into the 90s and some past 100 degrees. Monthly records may be challenged, and the heat could hold into the weekend or early next week"

Summerlike heat dome to send #Southwest temperatures soaring past 100 F
A strengthening #HeatDome will send temperatures soaring into the 90s and past 100 degrees across the Southwest, threatening records, accelerating snowmelt and raising #wildfire risk now, then #WaterSupply concerns later.

"Temperatures will climb well into the 90s, with some areas forecast to top 100 degrees Fahrenheit through next week. While those numbers may not seem extreme for the southwestern United States, they are running one to two months ahead of historical averages and could have implications for wildfire risk and water supplies across the interior Southwest later this year.
"A persistent area of high pressure at multiple levels of the atmosphere, known as a heat dome, will intensify in the coming days and may be slow to break down."

Clearly there’s a super villain in control of the weather.
NWS San Diego...
"....The ridge of high pressure will reamplify by next week, leading to a prolonged heat wave. This event will
encompass temperatures of 20 to potentially up to 30 degrees above normal for this time of year, leading to moderate to high heat risk...."
"...Thursday and Friday look to be the
hottest days over all, with low to moderate chances of seeing highs
reach 105 degrees across the Inland Empire, as well as reaching 100
degrees and inland valleys east of the 5 and the 15 in Orange and San Diego Counties. The most extreme heat will be across the Coachella Valley during this time. NBM probabilities show a
a moderate to high chance of going over 110 degrees by late next week as well. To put this in perspective, the highest temperature recorded in March at Palm Springs and Indio is 104 degrees (both
sites of which have a period of record over 100 years old)...."
