NEW YORK — (NEW YORK) -- A deadly heat wave continues as 90 million Americans across 16 states from Washington to Florida are under heat alerts on Saturday.
The all-time global heat record is in jeopardy at Furnace Creek in Death Valley. The current world record is 134ºF. Death Valley has only reached above 130 degrees five times.
Water temperatures are also staying hot off the Florida coast as a maritime heat wave continues. Water temps in the 90s are widespread off the southern Florida coast. This means anyone looking for relief from the heat won’t find it in the water.There are currently 910 active wildfires in Canada – with more than 4,000 fires already this year having burned more than 24 million acres of land – a record start. The season, however, is far from over.
The smoke is strongest this morning over places like Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Bismarck, North Dakota.
