The US's weather service advises people in certain states to avoid these two things
Residents in affected areas are advised to avoid alcohol and caffeine, which can accelerate dehydration, and instead drink water or sports drinks.
The warning covers states including California, Nevada, and Arizona, with some experiencing extreme heat warnings and predicted triple-digit temperatures.
Vulnerable groups, such as older adults, young children, and those with chronic conditions, are most susceptible to heat-related illnesses.
Health authorities recommend precautions like wearing light clothing and using sunscreen, while the Red Cross advises mental health care and healthy habits during and after heatwaves.

I spent $10K on a nose job...and woke up with part of my face missing
EXCLUSIVE I spent $10K on a nose woke up with part of my face missing READ MORE: Woman reveals horrifying nose after plastic surgery goes wrong A mother-of-four has been left looking 'smashed' and struggling to breathe after a $10,000 nose job. Ashley Caselli, now 37, underwent a revision rhinoplasty, or nose job, with Dr. Lindsay Sturm in January 2021, in the hopes of resolving her breathing issues. But when she woke up from the around three-hour procedure, the Iowa native says she was immediately plunged into a world of constant worries about her new nose. 'It just looked smashed,' she told 'It doesn't look finished. It looks like I am missing a piece of my face; My nose doesn't even have a tip anymore.' Once a social mom who loved taking pictures of herself with her children, Caselli is now consumed by fear whenever she leaves the house and is always photoshopping herself in family pictures. She also said her breathing is now 'much worse', and that she wakes up several times every night with a dry mouth and has to pull up her nose when she runs to get air in. She said: 'It's just no way to live. It really hurts your self-confidence; it hurts your way of thinking whenever you do things and want to take pictures with your family. 'Every day, I look in the mirror and I am saddened by it, and when people look at me, I constantly wonder, are they looking at my nose?' Ashley Caselli pictured before the procedure And afterward. She said her nose now appears 'smashed' Caselli is one of at least eight patients to have come forward in recent months alleging harm by Sturm, who ran a clinic in Iowa until February this year. The cosmetic surgeon and otolaryngologist, a surgeon specializing in the ears, nose, throat, neck and head, has also been accused of causing the death of her patient Angela Kettwig in a lawsuit, although she denies the allegation. The lawsuit is pending. Others to come forward include Christine Heintz, who paid Sturm $20,000 for a 'mommy makeover' in November 2021, which included a breast reduction and lift, abdominoplasty and liposuction. Just after the surgery, she said that a 'giant hole' opened in Heintz's right breast going back to her ribcage, with doctors saying most of the breast had died and could not be saved. She underwent further reconstructive surgery in January 2023 which resulted in her losing most of her breasts. In another case, patient AJ Gomez-Han visited Sturm in 2024 for skin removal surgery to his thighs and arms. Afterward, he developed a bacterial infection that evolved into an open bleeding sore and required six weeks in the hospital to fix. Sturm has not responded to previous claims against her and did not respond to request for comment on Caselli's case. Caselli has not filed a lawsuit, however, because the procedure happened too long ago for her to file a claim under Iowa law. After her clinic, Sturm Cosmetic Surgery, abruptly closed on February 9, it told patients in an email that 'due to personal, emergent medical concerns, Dr Sturm is unavailable to provide ongoing care.' Caselli is pictured above in the profile view before the procedure And again after the procedure Her nose shown above from the underside before the procedure And again after the procedure The Iowa Board of Medicine charged her with professional incompetence, including failure of a physician to exercise a degree of care ordinarily exercised by the average physician, in May 2025. Sturm opted not to contest the charges and has voluntarily surrendered her license, without admitting wrongdoing. She also filed for bankruptcy in June, according to local media reports. In Caselli's case, the mother and property manager went for her first nose job with a different surgeon in 2018 to open up her airways and resolve a long-term breathing issue. The initial procedure 'wasn't terrible,' she said, but she was still having trouble breathing out of one side of her nose and felt one side also appeared 'cuppier' than the other. This led her to contact Sturm, who said she would be able to help Caselli breathe better and have a more appealing nose. In a pre-op appointment, Caselli said Sturm told her that the previous surgeon had 'removed all the cartilage' from her nose, leaving it without proper support. (It is extremely unusual for surgeons to remove all the cartilage from a patient's nose). Sturm suggested extracting some cartilage from the top of Caselli's right ear and implanting it into her nose to help with the breathing issue, Caselli said. Caselli agreed, saying she was won over by the chance to be operated on by a female surgeon and Sturm's apparent personable and kind nature. Lindsay Sturm, who carried out the procedure, is pictured above. According to Caselli, the cosmetic surgeon said that in Caselli's previous nose job all the cartilage was removed from her nose Just before the surgery in 2021, the pair prayed together for a successful procedure and a good outcome. Caselli said after the surgery she had to wear a nose bandage and splint, a plastic device placed outside the nose after surgery to support its new shape, for about two weeks but, even with the swelling from surgery, became concerned about her nose every time she removed a bandage to wash it. 'I actually voiced my concerns because I did see some issues,' she said. 'One side of my nose that I wanted changed originally, that was still the same, and the side that was a little swollen didn't look right. 'I was also concerned because in the profile view of the side of my face, it looked different, the tip of my nose was missing, well, it didn't have a tip.' She said Sturm initially told her that the appearance could be linked to the swelling from surgery but then retorted that she shouldn't ask for a perfect nose because no one's nose is perfect. 'I was shocked by that,' Caselli said. 'I told her that I am not trying to achieve the perfect nose, I just want a functioning nose that looks nice and normal, but this doesn't. It looks normal it looks very messed up. 'She tried to make me feel bad for that.' Caselli also said that at one point a hole opened up in the middle of her nose after a suture came loose following the surgery. During the procedure, Sturm was also meant to perform liposuction on the bottom of Caselli's chin, but Caselli said that this wasn't done properly, with the area she wanted removed 'still there' when she woke up from surgery. Caselli is a social mom who loves to go out with friends But her nose is a constant worry Sturm offered to do a fat transfer to Caselli's nose after the surgery, Caselli said, but she refused, and says she's now seeking help from a new surgeon. Caselli also claimed that her breathing is now 'much worse' than before, with now having to breathe through her mouth most of the time. She said she holds up the end of her nose sometimes when she runs to get air in and is also waking up throughout the night, suffering from a dry mouth and breathing issues. 'I hope revealing this helps people,' she said. 'The irony here is that she was an expert and she still messed up my nose. Everyone should know the difference between a cosmetic surgeon and a plastic surgeon. 'I am lucky, but unlucky, people go through worse things, terrible things, but they can cover their bodies. For me, I can't cover my face.'

Woman nearly dies after taking dangerous amount of popular supplement: ‘I was very, very, very scared'
A New Jersey woman says she almost died after taking daily turmeric pills, a popular supplement found in grocery stores. Katie Mohan, a 57-year-old from Morristown, told she sustained liver damage after taking daily pills of turmeric, a yellow spice widely used for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Mohan said her first symptoms included fatigue, nausea, stomach pain and yellowing eyes, which are a sign of jaundice. Mohan first saw her doctor in April, but the scans and tests ordered came back normal. Her symptoms continued to get worse until June, when Mohan read an NBC News story about a man with similar symptoms who found out he had a drug-induced liver injury after taking turmeric daily. 'I threw [the supplements] out, and I said to myself, 'I'm wondering if this is what's causing my symptoms,'' Mohan told Mohan bought the turmeric pills, which were manufactured by YouTheory, at Costco, reports. The product states the daily dose is three pills containing 2,250 milligrams, Mohan said, which is over the World Health Organization's recommendation of up to 3 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day. After reading the NBC News article, Mohan went to urgent care. From there, she was admitted to Morristown Medical Center, where doctors found that she had severe liver damage. She was treated with an antiviral IV drip, but her skin was still yellowing. Mohan recalled thinking: 'Am I going to need a liver transplant? Am I going to die?' 'I was very, very, very scared,' she added. That's when she was transferred to NYU Langone in New York. There, her doctor found 'evidence of acute hepatitis, impending liver failure and potential transplant evaluation.' 'She was really very sick,' Dr. Nikolaos Pyrsopoulos, told 'Her liver numbers were 60 to 70 times above the normal limit. And she was very yellow.' Mohan said Pyrsopoulos confirmed her fears that the turmeric caused her symptoms. 'He's like, 'You essentially poisoned the liver with the turmeric,'' she said. 'It was the dose combined with the fact that it had that black pepper in it.' Pyrsopoulos told that his hospital sees three to four liver transplants per year related to turmeric poisoning. Mohan has since been discharged and says her liver enzyme levels are still elevated, but they're continuing to fall and her symptoms have completely disappeared. Mohan has since reported the supplements to the Food and Drug Administration.

Heavy rain kills two in New Jersey as subway and roads flooded in New York
At least two people were killed Monday evening in New Jersey amid heavy rain and flooding in that state and New York, according to authorities. The pair died in the city of Plainfield when the car they were in was swept into Cedar Brook during flash flooding, local officials announced on Facebook. Both deaths occurred as heavy rain swept across parts of the US north-east on Monday night, inundating communities and stranding vehicles in roadways. The tempestuous weather also closed subway lines and led to a declaration of a state of emergency. Most flash flood watches and warnings expired in parts of New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania as the rain moved on – but some roads and streets were still flooded as of Tuesday morning. New Jersey's governor, Phil Murphy, declared a state of emergency due to flash flooding and heavy rainfall, advising people to stay indoors and avoid unnecessary travel. A video posted to social media by CBS showed flood waters bringing a major roadway in Scotch Plains, New Jersey, to a standstill, stranding buses. In one flooded North Plainfield, New Jersey, neighborhood, a house caught on fire and collapsed, possibly due to an explosion, not long after the family inside had evacuated, authorities said. No injuries were reported. In New York City, some subway service was temporarily suspended while other lines were running with severe delays due to flooding, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. New York's emergency services agency wrote on the social platform X that parts of the city and the mid-Hudson region were getting hit with flash floods. Video posted on social media appears to show water flooding down into a Manhattan subway station, submerging the platform while passengers inside a train watch. Another photo appears to show passengers standing on a train's seats to avoid the water beginning to soak the floor. Parts of major thoroughfares in New York, such as the northbound lanes of the Saw Mill River Parkway and the Cross Bronx Expressway, were temporarily closed due to flooding and at least one downed tree. Officials in New York's Westchester county were working to rescue people whose vehicles were submerged in water, according to Carolyn Fortino, a spokesperson for the county executive. 'At this time, residents are still strongly advised to avoid all travel unless fleeing an area that is subject to flooding, or under an evacuation order,' she said in an email. A flood warning was also issued for Staten Island, which had seen about 4-6in (10.2-15.2cm) of rain, according to NYC's emergency notification system. Mount Joy, in south-eastern Pennsylvania, declared a disaster emergency as more than 7in (17.8cm) of rain fell in less than five hours on Monday, according to the local fire department. Some people reported more than 5ft (1.5 meters) of water in their homes and emergency responders made 16 water rescues, although no injuries were reported. 'The declaration enables us to access additional resources to support residents and accelerate recovery efforts,' borough emergency management coordinator Philip Colvin said in a statement. By Monday evening, the rainfall had lessened and water in Mount Joy had started to recede. In Metuchen, New Jersey, about 34 miles (55km) south-west of New York City, the mayor, Jonathan M Busch, wrote on Facebook that the borough was significantly flooded – but by Monday evening water levels had already receded. 'It looks like the worst of the storm is behind us and thankfully, everyone is safe' in that particular city, he said.
