High temperatures are not just uncomfortable, they are bad for your health -- and can even be deadly.
It's nearly fall, but extreme high temperatures broke records in cities across the United States this week. Schools closed early, outdoor activities were canceled, and some pools even shut down in California.
About 50 million people are under heat alerts Tuesday. Of all the natural disasters, extreme heat is the No. 1 killer, studies show, killing more people than hurricanes and tornadoes combined. In Maricopa County, Arizona, alone, there have been at least 111 confirmed heat-associated deaths this season. Record high temperatures continue to bake the West.
Even if you aren't working or exercising outdoors, be careful in extreme temperatures. Dr. Stephanie Lareau, an emergency room physician in Rocky Mount, Virginia, said it's important to keep an eye not just on the temperature but on the heat index. That takes into account humidity, and that can matter more for heat-related illness.
