People across the United States are facing scorching temperatures during the planet’s hottest July on record so far.
The toll on humans has been grim. As temperatures have risen above 120 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius) in parts of the US and hit dangerous levels around the world, heat-related deaths have mounted and people are suffering life-threatening burns from falling onto scorching hot ground.

Are you leaving home to stay cool at a pool or in some other creative way? However you’ve been affected, we’d like to hear from you.
