Heat wave to scorch the U.S. this week -- and some cities will experience 'feels like' heat index of 115F [View all]

A dangerous heat wave continues to scorch a large part of the United States, with more than 130 million people under extreme heat watches and warnings from South Dakota to Florida as temperatures in some cities are expected to exceed 100 degrees, and heat indexes — or “feels like” temperatures — could soar past 115°F.

The so-called heat dome that baked much of the Midwest last week has now settled over the Southeast, where intense and potentially life-threatening heat and humidity are expected to continue through at least Wednesday.

From Charlotte, N.C., to Orlando, heat indexes, or what the temperatures feel like when humidity is factored in, are forecast to be between 108° and 116°F for multiple days.

And temperatures at night won’t provide much relief. Overnight lows are expected to fall only into the 70s across the region.

But the slobfather says global warming is a hoax. Hope he roasts in this.
