RELATEDAir quality in US impacted by Canadian wildfire smoke. What to know.
Federal agencies report about 700 Americans die each year from extreme heat, but some studies estimate that figure could be closer to 1,300 deaths a year. Another study found up to 20,000 deaths may have been linked to extreme heat from 2008 to 2017.
Part of what makes a heat wave so dangerous is lack of awareness, experts say. The consequences of extreme heat aren’t as visually obvious as in other natural disasters, but they can be especially life-threatening to certain people depending on how old they are, what medical conditions they have and where they live.
