By 2053, residents of the southern United States will frequently experience temperatures in the summer similar to those in Saudi Arabia, according to a forecast published by the First Street Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing scientific projections about climate change based on hyper-local data modeling. The report describes an "Extreme Heat Belt" region running from southern Illinois to Texas all the way to the Mid-Atlantic coast; currently, this region is comprised of 81 counties with a population of more than 80M. Currently, the lowest nighttime temperatures in this region during the summer are the lowest ever recorded. (Source: The AP 08/16/22)
