More heatwave fake news from the BBC:
.
Human-induced climate change made recent extreme heat in the US south-west, Mexico and Central America around 35 times more likely, scientists say.
The World Weather Attribution (WWA) group studied excess heat between May and early June, when the US heatwave was concentrated in south-west states including California, Nevada and Arizona.

Temperatures in Phoenix reached a high of 113F during early June:

The BBC know they can fool some people who don’t realise temperatures like these are normal in places like Phoenix.

The record June temperature was 122F in 1990, and thirty years since 1933 have had higher temperatures than 113F in June:

As for the length of the heatwave, Phoenix has had four days over 110F so far in June. In June 1974 they had eighteen!

As usual the BBC rely on Weather Attribution models which are clearly fraudulent, and designed for propaganda purposes only. Given that this heatwave was not even extreme, the rest of the claim is plainly a con-trick.
