Anonymous13 days ago

A weather station near Martinez Lake, Arizona, recorded 110°F on March 20, 2026 — the highest March temperature in U.S. history — as a massive heat dome parked over the Southwest drove temperatures 20-30°F above normal across the region. The World Weather Attribution group concluded the event would have been "virtually impossible without human-induced climate change," while the extreme heat accelerates an already severe snow drought threatening water supplies for the 40 million people who depend on the Colorado River.
