A dangerous heat wave imperiling people on the West Coast is expected to peak Saturday, but experts say the health risks will persist long after temperatures crest. “Widespread temperature records are expected to be tied or broken. Saturday will likely shape up to be the hottest day in this heatwave when high temperatures into the 110s will be common across California,” forecasters said in their nationwide update Friday.
Daily emergency department admissions for heat-related illness have soared in recent days, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. On July 4, heat-related illness accounted for nearly 1.1% of all emergency department visits in a region that includes California, Arizona and Nevada. The rate of visits for heat-related illness had more than doubled since July 1, the data shows.
