The eastern US is set to experience days of dangerously hot temperatures during a summer heat wave, and the days' lows are particularly worrisome. "We're starting to run up against sort of the limits of what we can manage," says Columbia Climate School professor Radley Horton. While it's difficult to attribute a singular weather event to climate change, data show consistent increases in temperatures that are also longer-lasting and more frequent. The combined heat and humidity the Northeast will experience is set to make conditions more like the southeastern US and much of the tropics, explains Horton. Via USA TODAY. https://lnkd.in/eE6xAw6z
