It's always hot this time of year in central Arizona, but 2024 is proving to be an endless summer with especially high temperatures in Phoenix. On Tuesday, the city hit its 100th straight day with at least 100 degree temperatures.
Cam Ferguson gets to his spot on the street adjacent to Chase Field -- home of Major League Baseball's Arizona Diamondbacks -- about four hours before first pitch to set up his usual display of cold water, sports drinks, peanuts and candy.
Public health officials in Arizona's Maricopa County -- where Phoenix is located, the hottest metro area in the U.S. -- say that as of Aug. 24 there had been 150 heat-related deaths confirmed so far this year, with another 443 under investigation. There were 645 heat-related deaths last year in the county of some 4.5 million people.Pretty much any way the data is parsed, 2024 marks another record-breaking summer of heat in Phoenix.
Cooling centers were set up across Los Angeles County, where officials urged residents to check on neighbours who are elderly, unwell or otherwise vulnerable amid soaring temperatures."Hot days aren't just uncomfortable -- they can be dangerous," said LA County Health Officer Muntu Davis. Chase Field can be air-conditioned and has a retractable roof that is closed for most games during the middle of summer, which is obviously good for fans and players. But keeping the giant stadium cool in the summer is sometimes tricky, and players have occasionally commented about how surprisingly stuffy it gets inside.
