Experts predict the upcoming summer will feature above-average temperatures across much of the U.S., particularly in the Midwest and Northeast. This forecast comes amid significant budget cuts by the Trump Administration to climate and extreme heat initiatives, heightening concerns over the nation’s preparedness to deal with the health risks posed by rising temperatures. Notably, extreme heat has become the largest weather-related killer in the U.S., yet it lacks official recognition and funding compared to other natural disasters. Experts urge for better resources and policies to address this growing threat.
Extreme heat is not recognized as a disaster in the U.S. despite being the largest weather-related killer in the country.
Experts warn that cuts to climate initiatives and funding will risk the country’s ability to protect communities from extreme heat.
