Daniel Swain in CNBC: Dangerous heat wave to hit California over weekend as wildfires still burn

A dangerous heat wave is expected to hit California over the weekend and trigger one of the hottest days in state history. “I am seriously concerned about this heatwave throughout California,” said UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain. “All-time record highs are plausible in Central Valley [and] across parts of SoCal. Over a million acres are actively burning across NorCal, and we’re still in the middle of a pandemic.”
