A heat wave that has stifled the southern tier of the U.S. for weeks has expanded into the Plains, Midwest and now the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Thursday, triggering heat alerts for over 227 million people, according to the National Weather Service.
It’s been stifling in my area, too. 80F+ even late at night.
It’s not supposed to cool down until this weekend, at best. It’s scary to think this may be our new “state of affairs”.
