America burns: Relentless Heatwave Tear across the U.S. — Historic Days and Nights from California to the East Coast, Rewriting June Weather History
Marek Kučera 
The United States was enduring a brutal continental heatwave, one of the fiercest ever recorded before the summer solstice, bringing daytime highs up to 120°F (49°C) and nighttime lows near 85°F (29°C) across thousands of miles from Southern California to the Great Lakes.
🔥 the west in flames
- 120°F in California,
- 117°F in Phoenix, Arizona,
- 115°F in New Mexico and West Texas
- 100°F in Salt Lake City, a high-elevation furnace
- Bisbee, AZ (highland) nearly broke its all-time record: 104°F vs 106°F
Even the mountains are boiling. Heat barriers are falling.
🌙 Mexico: nights as dangerous as days
In Ciudad Obregon, a suffocating 28.8°C / 84°F was recorded as the minimum temperature. No recovery, no escape. Nights are now part of the danger zone.
➡️ heat shifts east — no one spared
Tomorrow, the heat dome spreads to:
- Colorado, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas
- Widespread 104–106°F (40–41°C) — even in the highlands
This is extremely rare before summer solstice, yet now it’s reality.
🌡️ Great Plains to Great Lakes: no relief at night
- Minimum temperatures won’t drop below 80°F (27°C) in many cities
- Historic warm night in Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota
- Detroit tied its all-time June record: 79°F
- Over 70% of overnight temps broke or tied records in the region
- In Michigan alone, over 90% of minimums were record-breaking
🧨 and then: the East Coast explosion
What comes next is beyond dangerous.
Meteorologists warn:
“The heat in the East Coast corridor will be absolutely insane — potentially life-threatening. Urban nights will turn tropical. Daytime highs may challenge all-time June records.”
This is not a normal summer wave.
This is a continental heat event of rare magnitude.
And this is just the beginning.
