Heat waves: How to cope with new extremes
It’s hot out there, and it’s getting hotter.
Temperatures broke June records around the globe, from the leafy streets of the American South to the domes of the Vatican. Japan recently had its first-ever 104-degree June day. Cities across Iran have sweltered for days under 122-degree heat. It was even hot above the Arctic Circle, where thermometers in the Russian city of Norilsk pushed to record highs grazing 90 degrees.
In the U.S., states across New England and the Mountain West are in for unusually by the National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center.
