Americans have been treated for second-degree contact burns in Arizona as extreme heat caused pavement temperatures to surpass 71C (160F).

Over 110 million people were under extreme heat advisories in the south west as brutal conditions caused by a heat dome threatened to break records.

Temperatures in some desert areas were predicted to soar past 48.8C (120F) during the day on Sunday, and remain above 32C (90F) overnight.

In Phoenix, the capital of Arizona, temperatures have hit 43C (109F) for 16 straight days. The heat rose to 47C (117F) over the weekend and is expected to remain there for several days more.
