75 million Americans are under heat alerts today as the hottest weekend of the year kicks off. The heat wave is threatening about 40 million people’s water supply out west. In the east, Amtrak is warning that trains need to slow down because it’s so hot. Officials reported heat-related deaths in Texas and Pennsylvania, both victims were older with underlying conditions. Heat kills an estimated 1,300 people every year in the U.S., which is more than any other weather event.

  6. Heatwave Be Like: UNLIMITED POWER!!!

  7. This will never happen in Anchorage.

  8. Plant more trees! I’m in south Florida and my yard is nothing but shade from trees I planted. Easily 20-30 degrees cooler. Instead most Americans live in a concrete jungle

  9. The climate change is coming the way…

  10. All you climate activists need to ask your American climate czar to stop flying around the world in his private jet,he pollutes more on 1 trip than most people do in a year!!! The politicians, wealthy elite and the celebrities all preaching green energy while they all travel by private jet….the lower to middle class are going to suffer while they continue to live their lavish lifestyle!!!!!

  11. ceiling fan with light with speaker, save your money. solar fan save your energy, contact me. ready to ship

  12. Imagine believing the statement, "Summer is Hot" constitutes as news

  13. We had a great spring this year in Az. And it has been a mild summer so far! It got up to a 120 a couple times. But that’s totally normal for Az. Today is only about 102 and it’s the 24th of July! That’s much cooler than the last few years. Two years ago it got to 128 for close to a week this time of year! And back in 1994 I played a concert under the London Bridge in LHC, Az. And it was 128 that day! There is nothing changed with the weather from what I have seen! Have lived in different parts of USA and weather changes all the time! I grew up back east and had many crazy winters, and many hot summers! Sorry but I have been around for a long time, and the weather we are seeing is nothing un-normal! Weather patterns have always changed throughout history! What has actually changed is the media propaganda, and governments that want you to buy into their climate change, your fault, end of the world, fear agenda!

  14. Mother nature went from extreme frigid temps in the winter, skipping spring all together, and putting us in the 80s followed by the 100s. Mother nature is so cruel sometimes.

  15. Hate Phoenix heat 🥵

  16. Envy to your heat waves. This summer is too cold. Just rains, no sun.
