It’s getting hotter. The nonprofit scientific research organization Climate Central reports that average summer temperatures in Las Vegas have risen nearly six degrees since 1970, and Southern Nevada remains one of the fastest-warming metropolitan areas across the west—getting hotter faster than Phoenix, Salt Lake City and El Paso.

Let’s begin with what’s going right. If you want to see visual art created by locals, there are places to do that.

An outdoor kitchen with a mountainous backdrop, a floor-to-ceiling window in a penthouse apartment in New York, or maybe a Scandinavian-style home surrounded by lush forests?

A 2022 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-funded heat mapping study involved a group of 60 volunteers who spread out across Clark County to check the temperatures in different locations during the morning, afternoon and night.

Extreme temperatures in the northern hemisphere has killed hundreds of people and is fueling forest fires across three continents. Climate scientists say we need to become accustomed to prolonged events like this that may be repeated across the southern hemisphere this summer.

Cities and towns across three continents are in the grip of heatwaves so strong they are breaking records. From Beijing to Rome, people are struggling with extreme weather conditions and heat-related illnesses. The US city of Phoenix has broken a record set nearly half a century ago, of 19 consecutive days of temperatures above 43 degrees Celsius. Al Jazeera’s Kristen Saloomey reports from Clark County, Nevada where heat shelters are nearly full.

If you find yourself having breathing troubles or worsening allergies during these hot summer months, experts say this heatwave may be to blame as it’s causing more pollution in our air.
