As the planet's hottest month on record comes to a close, 70 million people are under heat alerts in the US. Areas in the southern plains and Southeast could see record-setting highs of 115 degrees or more.
While the Northeast and mid-Atlantic will get some relief Sunday, heat advisories and excessive heat warnings are widespread across more than 10 states, from Texas to Florida, according to the National Weather Service. The weather service warned heat indexes, which factor in humidity, could soar above 105 to 115 degrees across the southern Plains to the lower Mississippi Valley and the Southeast.
The streak will likely end Monday, when temperatures are expected to fall below the 110-degree mark after rain showers move through the area. Even some cactuses couldn’t take the heat in Phoenix, where the plants were seen collapsing and dehydrated animals were rushed to a rehabilitation center. The recent heat wave proved deadly in some areas.
