March heatwave: KNAU’s Lee Born on northern Arizona’s record-high temps

"...an absolutely extraordinary heat wave, that, you know, has never been felt in weather record-keeping history. I've been calling it unprecedented... it's not unusual to have a day of record-breaking heat by a degree or two, but the sheer magnitude of this one, where we're seeing all-time monthly high temperature records broken by many, many degrees."

March heat surges past 100 in California and Arizona, smashing records

A burst of unusual March heat is hitting the United States this week and into next, busting previous monthly heat records by wide margins. While heat is most acutely felt by people exposed to it, graphics and charts convey the scale of this extreme event. Temperatures in the West remain far above what's typical for March, a sign the early season heat is not letting up. Compared with the average highs for March between 1991 and 2020, temperatures across some parts of Oklahoma, Nebraska, northern Texas and South Dakota are reaching at least 20 degrees Fahrenheit (11 degrees Celsius) above normal.

Climate change is supercharging the Southwest’s brutal heat wave. Rising global temperatures are making extreme heat more intense, longer-lasting, and more frequent. What was once rare is now routine—putting lives, infrastructure, and water supplies at risk. This isn’t just weather. It’s a warning. #ClimateChange #HeatWave #SOUTHWEST #AureFreePress #GlobalWarming

Grapes have suddenly started growing this week. Apparently they are triggered by very hot temperatures. #heatwave #climatediary #CAwx
