Parts of California, Nevada and Arizona are under an excessive heat warning and bracing for record-setting temperatures that could reach as high as 120F in Phoenix by Tuesday. Needless to say, that’s hot – and potentially dangerous.

Precautions are being taken locally to help those in need, but we want to hear from people in the region about how they’re managing the scorching temperatures. Do you have any life hacks, cooling strategies or heat-friendly social plans for this week that you’d like to share?

You can upload your images through GuardianWitness by clicking the “Contribute with GuardianWitness” button above. You can also use the GuardianWitness smartphone app or the Guardian app and search for “GuardianWitness assignments”.

And keep cool out there.
