San Francisco experienced its hottest day of the year as record fall temperatures continue across the southwestern US, raising health and safety concerns.
With temperatures soaring to dangerous levels, officials warned of heightened risks including heat-related deaths, especially affecting vulnerable populations like the unhoused and elderly.
Phoenix has seen 67 days above 110°F in 2024 alone, far exceeding historical averages, contributing to a staggering toll of confirmed and suspect heat-related deaths.
The continuous record-breaking heatwaves led to extended excessive heat warnings, prompting many public schools in the Bay Area to cancel outdoor activities for safety.
