How to Stay Cool in the Heat Wave Hitting Parts of the US — Even without Air Conditioning

The first major heat wave of 2025 arrived in the U.S. at summer's start, placing over 40 million people under heat alerts as temperatures rose.
Rising heat results from climate change largely driven by burning fossil fuels, worsening conditions especially for vulnerable groups without adequate protections.
Experts noted overnight lows above 75°F create serious health risks since the body needs nighttime cooling to avoid heat illness and daily deficits.
Ashley Ward urged creating a cool sleeping area and calling 911 if heat illness signs appear, while Bharat Venkat highlighted the challenges enforcing worker heat protections.
The heat wave’s persistence and lack of federal rules suggest ongoing public health risks, emphasizing the need for hydration, cooling strategies, and policy attention.
