California temperature records shattered as heat wave fuels new wildfires
Sacramento, September 7 (RHC)-- In the United States, a vast high-pressure dome brought record heat to California and other western states over the Labor Day weekend.
In Southern California, Burbank reached 110 degrees Fahrenheit on Monday, while in the north, Livermore hit a high of 116 degrees — 8 degrees higher than the previous record. The hottest temperature in Fresno, California on Tuesday hit 114-degrees, which would be an all-time temperature record for September.
The intense heat has helped fueled wildfires, including the Mill Fire, which killed two people Sunday as it tore through the Northern California town of Weed.
