California heat waves could be longer, hotter in 30 years
A new report shows what temperatures in the United States could look like in 30 years — and the outlook isn’t good. The report, from the First Street Foundation, a climate-focused research organization, found that temperatures will likely rise everywhere due to climate change, though the way that is expected to play out varies in different parts of the U.S. … For California, that means longer heat waves, more often. While all areas of the state are projected to see increases in the number of local hot days over the next 30 years, according to the report, Southern and Central California are expected to face the biggest increases in heat waves, with Imperial, Riverside and Fresno counties seeing the greatest likelihood.
