If you're in California, you might be hearing about an "Extreme Heat Watch" and wondering what it means for your safety. This isn't just a regular hot day; it signals conditions that can quickly become dangerous if you're not prepared.
Parts of California are under an "Extreme Heat Watch" because a strong high-pressure system is trapping hot air over the region.
This phenomenon, often called a 'heat dome,' is causing temperatures to soar well above seasonal averages.
