WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 16th August, 2022) The US heat wave crisis will grow steadily worse and directly impact 107 million Americans with temperatures over 125 degrees in just over 30 years, a First Street Foundation scientific research group model revealed.
"In the case of extreme heat, the model finds 50 counties, home to 8.
1 million residents, that are expected to experience temperatures above 125�F in 2023, the highest level of the National Weather Services' heat index," the group said in a press release on Monday. "By 2053,1,023 counties are expected to exceed this temperature, an area that is home to 107.6 million Americans and covers a quarter of the US land area."
This emerging area of concentrated heat conditions is located in a geographic region that the foundation calls the "Extreme Heat Belt" and it stretches from the northern Texas and Louisiana borders to Illinois, Indiana, and even into Wisconsin, the release said.
