This summer is on course to become the hottest ever recorded.
Over 100 million Americans woke up to heat advisories and excessive heat warnings Wednesday as a deadly heat wave gripped the entire Midwest region, stretching from Minneapolis-Saint Paul down to the Gulf of Mexico.
Temperatures across the Great Plains states of Kansas, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, and Wyoming are a staggering 20 degrees above the usual norms. Amid an excessive heat warning, firefighters in Kansas City, Missouri, have been evacuating residents from a nursing home due to a broken air conditioning system, and in Omaha, Nebraska, a 1-year-old girl lost her life after being left in a daycare van for six hours. The driver of the van is now facing felony charges.The National Weather Service satellite shows a high-pressure dome, often referred to as a"hot pocket," currently centered over the central part of the country.
The orange areas represent heat advisories. These orange alerts are located in northern South Dakota, central Nebraska, Dallas, middle Tennessee, central Alabama and southwest Georgia.
