America bucks before extreme weather

Washington [US], July 14: A prolonged heatwave is covering a large swath of the southern US, stretching from California to southern Florida, with temperatures in the coming days forecast to break all records, The Guardian reports.
The most alarming increase in temperature
The increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather across the United States is the result of climate change, meteorologists warn.
While sweltering temperatures blanket many areas, several states in the northeastern US have failed to recover from historic flooding in recent days. Flooding has damaged roads and threatened people's drinking water. Currently, the city government of Montpelier (Vermont state) has asked people to boil water before using it until further notice.
