It Still Feels Like Summer in Parts of the US. Blame El Niño

This summer in the US has been unusually hot and shows no signs of cooling down as autumn approaches, largely due to El Niño and climate change. The US Climate Prediction Center forecasts continued above-normal temperatures through September, with the Upper Midwest and Deep South experiencing the highest likelihood of heat. This follows the hottest summer on record, with tens of thousands of heat records broken, including both daytime highs and overnight lows. Climate change is the main driver, raising average temperatures and altering atmospheric patterns to favor extreme heat. This persistent warmth, especially at night, poses significant health risks as it prevents the cooling relief typically provided by cooler nights. QUESTION: How might the ongoing trend of rising temperatures and extreme heat events impact the way we live and work in the future?
