Over 130 million people in the US are under threat from a prolonged heatwave that has already set new temperature records, Al Jazeera reported yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Forecasters warn of dangerously high temperatures from the East Coast to the West Coast, with the Pacific Northwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast expected to see temperatures soar above 100\u00b0F (38\u00b0C).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
