Tens of millions of Americans across the south and central U.S. – many of them in Texas – have endured a brutal heat wave over the past couple of weeks as temperatures soared to record levels, including some above 110 degrees.

Forecasters expect the intense heat to continue in Texas for much of this week in and expand north into the Plains and east into the Southeast. Meteorologist Scot Pilie warned on Twitter that more temperature records could topple, leading to dangerous heat index values.



AccuWeather forecasters predict that more locations across the central U.S. will suffer this week because of the weather pattern that brought the record-breaking heat to Texas last week.

Forecasters say that as the jet stream nudges slightly northward and eastward in the coming days, the heat will build into a portion of the Plains, Mississippi Valley and Southeast.

3. It's only just beginning...

...and will get incredibly worse, even if we were able to magically stop emitting CO2 today.

For the sake of those in the near-future, we must do all we can to stop burning fossil fuels as quickly as humanly possible.
