The scorching heatwave that has swept the US south-east in recent weeks will soon spread to the country’s midwest and north-east regions, affecting nearly 250 million Americans.
The NWS said: “The first heatwave of the summer begins Sunday over the middle of the nation, before spreading to the midwest and to the north-east by Tuesday then lasting most of next week,” with temperatures expected to approach 105F and break records, with very warm nights.
Soon, cities including Chicago, Indianapolis, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Boston may also see their hottest day of the year so far.
Experts say the human-induced climate crisis – sparked largely by the emission of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, along with deforestation – is making heatwaves hotter and last longer around the world.
“We’re restoring sanity in our approach to energy and rejecting the agenda of the radical green zealots,” DeSantis wrote on X.
Nevertheless, DeSantis signed a law prohibiting any municipalities in the state from passing heat-protection requirements for workers, such as employers being obliged to provide water and shade.
