Las Vegas eyes record of fifth consecutive day over 115 degrees as heat wave continues to scorch US
Even by desert standards, the prolonged baking that Nevada’s largest city is experiencing is nearly unprecedented.
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Used to shrugging off the heat, Las Vegas residents are now eyeing the thermometer as the desert city is on track Wednesday to set a record for the most consecutive days over 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46.1 Celsius) amid a lingering hot spell that will continue scorching much of the U.S. into the weekend.
On Tuesday, Las Vegas flirted again with the all-time temperature record of 120 F (48.8 C) reached on Sunday, but settled for a new daily mark of 119 F (48.3 C) that smashed the old one of 116 F (46.6 C) set for the date in 2021. Forecasters say the city will likely hit a record fifth straight day above 115 F (46.1 C) on Wednesday.

Shit's happening even faster than I expected. I'm hoping to be able to migrate before the masses wake up and do the same.
We will have to ban everything with 'faster than expected' for this decade, as there will be a lot of it.
Migrate? I don’t think anywhere will be safe…unless you mean just escaping the local high temps in the US Southwest.
Northern Canada is still almost entirely empty and cold. So give it a bit and it will be the only spot with summers under 80°
I figure Scandinavia or New Zealand are where to head.
I'm sure they have enough room for all of us and are super excited to welcome us lol
lol
get ready to be the next generation of starving refugees hated by their host country.
Yay
New Zealand might be at risk from all that water surrounding it
It’s pretty mountainous but you’re probably right.
Also, earthquake activity is going to amp up due to climate change as well, so may not be very safe there
With how things are going, Antartica will pretty soon feel tropical
Assuming it's still there.
As was before the ice age
