A ‘dangerous’ heatwave is hitting the western United States.
An estimated 50 million Americans are being affected as excessive heat warnings and advisories have been put in place for Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California.
According to the National Weather Service, the heat wave has already broken several ‘all-time records’.
Utah’s Salt Lake City hit 107 degrees, a high that has only been hit once before in the last 147 years.
The heat wave, paired with windy conditions, also poses an increased risk for drought and fires in several areas.
