The NWS has issued warnings about the combined hazards of intense heat and high humidity, which are exacerbating the dangerous conditions. In response, several Midwestern states have established public cooling centers to provide relief to affected residents.
Extreme heat, particularly when coupled with high humidity, ranks among the top weather-related threats in the United States. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that approximately 1,220 people die from extreme heat each year in the country.
