Health officials are urging residents in the Midwest and Northeast regions of the U.S. to prepare for dangerously hot temperatures expected next week. This comes after a recent heat wave in the Southwest, which saw triple-digit temperatures and a significant number of heat-related deaths in cities like Phoenix last year.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, last year marked the highest number of heat waves in the U.S. since 1936, with the South and Southwest regions experiencing record-breaking heat.
