The heat wave in the West is showing no signs of letting up. It may hit 116 today in Las Vegas, which would tie a record set in 1985.The all-time high in the Las Vegas area is 117. That was set in 1942 and tied in 2005.In Bullhead City, Ariz., it was 122

Living in Arizona currently. It was 107 at 5600 feet yesterday. The heat is bad this year but what most people don't realize is that in the morning and after sundown it is fairly cool.

I had the windows open till 10:30 in the morning and opened them again after 7pm the temp had dropped to the 70s. I feel sorry for those in Phoenix and Tuson when they don't get the temp drop I do
