Los Angeles, United States: A record early heat wave striking the west of the United States on Friday is a one-in-500-years type event and all but certainly the result of human-caused climate change, experts say.
The heat has been toppling records this week and was set to continue into the weekend across western cities and expanding eastward.
Four spots in the desert area near the California-Arizona state border registered 44.4C (112 Fahrenheit) on Friday, a US national record for March.
The locations were near the city of Yuma and at Martinez Lake in Arizona, and in the vicinity of Winterhaven and Ogilby in California.
Already, 65 cities have seen new March highs, ranging from Arizona and California to Idaho, Weather.com reported.
