, published Aug. 8, found that last month was the country’s third-hottest July since record-keeping began nearly 130 years ago.
The researchers looked at the seven hottest days expected for any property this year and calculated what the equivalent could be in 30 years. Across the country, they found that, on average, a community's seven hottest days are projected to become the location's 18 hottest days by 2053. About 8.1 million U.S. residents in 50 counties are at risk of experiencing heat index temperatures over 125 degrees. But by 2053, the projection expands to more than 1,000 counties across an area that is home to more than 107 million people, according to First Street’s model."How far north it stretched — I think a lot of people just hearing southern Wisconsin, Chicago and those areas being part of the extreme heat belt is surprising," he added.
Ask dump Trump. Climate change is a hoax.
Keep up the heat. I’m going to sleep. And I’m still not helping you.

Curious about the methodology when the model shows large parts of the Southwest not having the problem. Seriously does not fit the current national relative distribution of heat map. Why the Mississippi R. Valley, specifically? SW? Don't get it.
Oh no. 2 hot days a year in the Midwest 30 years from now. I better stop driving a car and start drinking my own urine.
