✅ Extreme Heat in California & Southwest
A powerful heat dome has triggered excessive/extreme heat warnings across Southern California deserts, Arizona, and parts of inland California—temperatures are already hitting 110–120 °F, with places like Death Valley near 123°F and Palm Springs at 119°F
In San Diego County, inland deserts saw temperatures up to roughly 118°F, prompting heat advisories/warnings and the closure of hiking trails.
✅ Library Cards for Climate Access
- In San Diego, public libraries offer cooling centers, park access, and free passes to city facilities for heat relief; library cards are being used to access these services
