The extreme heat poses significant risks, particularly for vulnerable groups such as children, the elderly, and those with respiratory conditions. Outdoor workers and pets are also at risk. Coastal areas will face high surf, strong rip currents, and potential flooding, making beach activities hazardous. Inland and desert regions could see record-breaking temperatures, increasing the likelihood of heat-related illnesses and wildfires.
