The National Weather Service expects temperatures to approach 117 degrees over the next several days, and state health officials have placed Maricopa and Pinal counties under an excessive heat warning.
The Arizona Department of Health Services advises county residents to do outdoor activities in the early morning or evening hours and stay hydrated.
National Weather Service officials said “dangerously high temperatures up to 117°F are expected with the potential to cause life-threatening illnesses or even death.”
In addition, temperatures inside cars can skyrocket to life-threatening levels within minutes, posing serious risks even on cooler days, health officials warned in a release.
“Never leave children or pets unattended in a car. Always double-check to ensure everyone is out of the vehicle before leaving,” they said.
