The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has confirmed that this year’s summer marked the hottest on record for the United States, surpassing previous highs. August alone also broke temperature records, continuing a trend of extreme heat that has gripped the country. The findings highlight the intensifying impact of climate change on seasonal weather patterns. Experts are urging closer examination of how rising temperatures affect public health, infrastructure, and ecosystems.
The United States had its hottest summer since records began, says NOAA, with August also setting a new heat record.
