Las Vegas eyes record 5th consecutive day over 115 degrees as heat wave continues to sear US

Quick Summary:

LAS VEGAS—Used to shrugging off the heat, Las Vegas residents are now eyeing the thermometer as the desert city is on track Wednesday to set a record for the most consecutive days over 115 degrees Fahrenheit (46.1°Celsius) amid a lingering hot spell that will continue scorching much of the US into the weekend.

Help of Southern Nevada travels the streets with flyers about heat, water and vehicles to transport people to cooling centers.

On Tuesday, Las Vegas flirted again with the all-time temperature record of 120 F (48.8°C) reached on Sunday, but settled for a new daily mark of 119 F (48.3°C) that smashed the old one of 116°F (46.6°C) set for the date in 2021.
