So how many previously high temperatures were "obliterated" over the weekend?" I actually saw it written that a heat wave was "obliterating" previous high temperatures. I doubt the "obliterating" heat wave broke any records, if it did it probably "obliterated" a previous high by 1/2 degree.

Phoenix on Tuesday broke its record for consecutive days of highs of at least 110F (43.3C), in a record-breaking summer of heat affecting millions in the US and around the world.
The US city, which is the fifth biggest in the country with a population of about 1.6 million, often ranks as the hottest or one of the hottest, and had a previous record of 18 consecutive days of 110F or higher in 1974.
Phoenix, where the hot months now stretch from April to September, equalled that record on Monday and went past it on Tuesday to create a new record of 19 days of 110F or higher heat, according to readings taken from Phoenix Sky Harbor airport, the National Weather Service said.

Guess what else happened in 1974 besides weeks of +110 temps in Ariz?
Time Magazine published an article entitled "ANOTHER ICE AGE?"
Here is the link...directly from Time's website:

Man, too, may be somewhat responsible for the cooling trend. The University of Wisconsin's Reid A. Bryson and other climatologists suggest that dust and other particles released into the atmosphere as a result of farming and fuel burning may be blocking more and more sunlight from reaching and heating the surface of the earth.

not just locally but WORLDWIDE
The World Meteorological Organization says the heatwave in the northern hemisphere is set to intensify. An estimated 61,000 people may have died in heatwaves last year in Europe alone.
The EU’s emergency response coordination centre issued red alerts for high temperatures for most of Italy, north-eastern Spain, Croatia, Serbia, southern Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Montenegro.
In Italy, temperatures on the island of Sardinia hit 44C (112F) and Rome topped out at 40C (104F) on Tuesday, as the health ministry issued red weather alerts for 20 of the country‘s 27 main cities, with the number expected to rise to 23 on Wednesday.

People in Beijing are sweltering under crippling summer heat on Wednesday as China’s capital kept up a record-breaking streak of four weeks of highs above 35C.
The extreme temperatures forced delivery drivers to seek refuge under bridges, residents covered their faces and arms in protective clothing and tourists clasped mini electric fans outside the Forbidden City, AFP reports.
Beijing broke a 23-year-old record on Tuesday with 27 consecutive days of temperatures above 35C, the China meteorological administration said.
Temperatures in southern Greece are expected to reach 44C by the end of the week, in the second heatwave to hit Europe’s Mediterranean south in two weeks – prompting a renewed warning against extreme summer heat.
The UN’s World Meteorological Organization said preliminary global figures showed the month of June to be the hottest on record.
In Madrid, Spain, digital thermometers read temperatures above 40C, with some areas recording temperatures of 43C on 18 July 2023.

Maybe we should shelter in place and lockdown all "non-essential" stores and services?

If the sea level actually rises maybe it will wipe out all the liberals that keep buying beach front property in the Hamptons and Martha's Vineyard. So there is a glass half full way of looking at it.
