The United States is going through harsh summer days, with the heat expected to be the hottest in the year and the risk of death in the hot sun is not small.

High humidity is expected to come with heat, especially in the midwestern United States, moisture combined with high temperatures will create heat dome phenomenon throughout the country. This situation is only weaker in the northwest.

According to CNN, these weather conditions can be deadly. Weather forecasters report that the body sensing heat index combined with the relative humidity of winter winds can cause many dangerous conditions, increasing the risk of heat exhaustion, sunstroke, and even death.

Many cities like Des Moines, Kansas, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Oklahoma and Chicago may experience a temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit (about 38 degrees Celsius) and when the humidity appears, the heat index may rise to dangerous levels, about 120 degrees Fahrenheit (about 49 degrees). C).

Hot sun is one of the leading causes of death. It kills hundreds of people every year. Excessive heat can lead to many weather-related illnesses.

Thermal background peaks in combination with high humidity causing a dangerous situation. High humidity slows the evaporation process, or sweats, known as an auto-cooling mechanism of the body. If the body is not properly cooled, heat exhaustion can occur within an hour. Because men sweat more than women, they will be more susceptible to heat diseases because the male body loses its water faster.
