Eastern US Groans Under Record Temperatures

A heatwave in the eastern United States has caused record temperatures, with the National Weather Service warning of temperatures up to 38 degrees Celsius. Around 60 million people are affected by the heat.

Baltimore has declared the highest heat warning level and has set up air-conditioned emergency shelters for the homeless, while also distributing cold water. The CDC advises people in high heat danger areas to take breaks and limit outdoor activities to the coolest parts of the day.

The western United States has also experienced extreme temperatures, with Las Vegas recording the highest ever measured temperature of 48.9 degrees Celsius in July. The longer heat season, attributed to climate change, has increased the risks associated with extreme heat, which is the leading cause of weather-related deaths in the country.

In addition to the eastern US, Australia has also been hit by a heatwave in winter, with temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius. Italy is also preparing for intense heat, with temperatures expected to reach up to 39 degrees Celsius, driven by an anticyclone worsened by climate change.
