A scorching heatwave has taken hold of the US south-west, with record-breaking temperatures reaching over 110F in some states.

In Las Vegas, the alert has been extended through Saturday, marking the earliest occurrence of such extreme heat in the city's history. Residents in the affected areas are feeling the intensity of the heat, with many describing it as "hotter than we're used to." The scorching temperatures serve as a stark reminder of the importance of staying hydrated and taking precautions to stay safe during this heatwave.
