Biden looks to provide relief from extreme heat as record high
temperatures persist across the US
By CHRIS MEGERIAN, MATTHEW DALY and DREW COSTLEY

WASHINGTON (AP) — With heat waves spreading across
the United States, President Joe Biden on Thursday an-
nounced new steps to protect workers — including a haz-
ard alert notifying employers and employees about ways
to stay safe from extreme heat — as well as measures
to improve weather forecasts and make drinking water
more accessible.
The actions come as nearly 40% of the U.S. population
faces heat advisories, according to the National Weather
Service. High temperatures have already scorched the
Southwest this month, and more heat is expected in the
Midwest and the Northeast in the coming days. Washing-
ton won’t be spared, and the heat index in the capital
could reach 110 degrees Fahrenheit or 43 degrees Cel-
sius on Friday. It’s a worldwide problem, and scientists cal-
culate that July will be the hottest month on record. A jet takes flight as heat ripples radiate from the runway, Tuesday, July 25, 2023 at Sky Harbor
International Airport, in Phoenix.
