Temperatures in the central U.S. are forecast to climb back to the 100-degree Fahrenheit (37.7 Celsius) mark this week, and in many areas it will feel much hotter than that, according to the National Weather Service.
Excessive-heat warnings have been issued for nine states along the Mississippi River and a heat advisory covers parts of seven more, the weather service said. It’s the latest heat wave of a Northern Hemisphere summer that has shattered records around the world.
