In California cities like Bakersfield and Sacramento City broke high temperature records that were set in 1997, reaching 91 and 88 degrees respectively.
加利福尼亚州的贝克斯菲尔德和萨克拉门托等城市打破了1997年创下的高温纪录，分别达到了91度和88度。
The unusual warmth is also reaching the Pacific Northwest, where record high temperatures in Portland and Seattle are creating a rare thunderstorm threat that hasn't been seen this early in the year for at least three decades.

and when we talk about one of the hottest cities in America, Phoenix Arizona, this is not what residents want to hear.

especially coming off of a summer where they had 113 consecutive days, the longest stretch ever, where the mercury in the thermometer climbed above 100°.

You can see them from Palm Springs all the way to Seattle Washington, so much of the West Coast.

You can see the temperature trend going forward.

And we will be the benefactors here across the southeast. Look at these temperatures, uh from New Orleans to Orlando and Atlanta,
