Heat Wave Fries & Scorches USA
It’s expected that the US is going to see some temperature records broken today as much of the country is facing extreme heat. One expectation coming into the weekend was that Death Valley may even hittoday. In general, the US Southwest is under extreme heat stress, but then again, so are places on the East Coast like Florida and Georgia.
“Take the heat seriously and avoid time outdoors,” the National Weather Service warned humans earlier today. “Temperatures will reach levels that pose a health risk and are potentially deadly to anyone without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration. Heat is the leading weather-related killer in the US.” It’s worth keeping that latter point in mind in general — sometimes we discount how great of a threat the heat is.
Another wild stat: “More than 110 million people, or about a third of people in the US, are under excessive heat warnings and advisories.” That’s wild. That’s nearly a third of the country.
