Arizona had its earliest-ever hundred-degree heat wave in April. Because of COVID-19, everything was closed—including officially designated cooling centers such as community centers or libraries. A jump in coronavirus cases is currently threatening to overwhelm the state‘s hospitals.

Last summer, when Phoenix temperatures averaged 96 degrees at the airport, where official measurements are made, Solís and her colleagues got readings averaging 131 degrees at a local trailer park, which had little shade and a lot of asphalt. “It was 111 inside one mobile home,” she says.
The Phoenix metropolitan area recorded 197 heat-related deaths in 2019, the most ever. About 85 of these occurred indoors, Solís says, and nearly a third of those were in manufactured or mobile homes, which house 5 percent of the area’s four million people. Most of the people who died in mobile homes were elderly women.
