"In the US, 80 million people will again this weekend experience actual temperatures or a heat index of 105F. Labor groups are pushing for measures to protect outdoor workers, including rests and water in Florida’s Miami-Dade County (while Texas bans such requirements). It turns out the heat is not just bad for human bodies (at least 61,000 people died in Europe last summer from heat-related causes), but there may also be a link to suicides and hospital trips for mental illness."
