Record-challenging heat to build over #Southwest, including over 100 F in #Phoenix

Temperatures will reach triple digits over part of the interior Southwest into this weekend, and dry air paired with the heat will rise the risk of #wildfires.

By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist

Published Apr 8, 2025 2:06 PM EDT | Updated Apr 9, 2025 2:14 PM EDT

Excerpt:
"Temperatures will run 10-20 degrees Fahrenheit above historical averages at the peak, with records challenged. Factoring in April sunshine, which is equivalent to sunshine in August, AccuWeather RealFeel® Temperatures can spike to 10 degrees or more above the actual temperature during the day.

"'Phoenix is likely to experience its first 100 F or higher reading of the year on Thursday,' Zehr said, 'Friday and Saturday may also top 100.'

"The average date for the first 100 is May 2 at Phoenix. The earliest date was March 26, 1988."

Points to Blue-state policies like VT’s Superfund rules, *req FF cos. to pay for damage to the climate, & CA’s cap-and-trade prgm as examples of efforts to “dictate nat energy policy.”“dom energy resources.

Atrocities mount.

Mother JonesNew Trump order would punish states for combating climate changeThe order directs the government to "expeditiously" take action to "stop the enforcement of State laws" designed to reduce “greenhouse gas” emissions.

CocaCola is the No1 polluter on the planet. Its packaging is needlessly damaging, its product massively damages health & the company exists SOLELY to enrich shareholders. Its very existence & success is enough evidence ON ITS OWN that we need to break from this suicidal system.

"Provincial governments are primarily responsible for education but the federal government can play a role too, particularly when an education topic is deemed in the national interest. The need to urgently address #ClimateChange is absolutely in the national interest & in that of our children."
