Maps show where dangerous summer heat could impact U.S.
Last summer, hundreds of millions of people were faced with triple-digit temperatures across the U.S. And now, weeks away from the hottest part of the year for the U.S., officials are warning it could happen again. The forecast comes at what is expected to be the tail-end of the latest El Niño, a natural climate phenomenon that happens every few years when the Pacific Ocean develops above-normal sea surface temperatures, weakening trade winds.

With 20 million Americans facing these threats today, the urgency is clear. As we approach May, historically the peak month for tornado activity, the weather forecast suggests a tumultuous start to the month, with a low-pressure system drawing in moisture from the Gulf, exacerbating conditions across the central U.S. The warmth spreading across the East Coast contrasts sharply with the brewing storms, emphasizing the volatile weather patterns currently gripping the nation.
