Millions Across U.S. Face Heat Advisories; Turkey Records Highest-Ever Temperature
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In more climate news, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health
Administration is warning workers could face potentially lethal
conditions as temperatures soar into the triple digits across much of
the Eastern Seaboard and Great Plains regions. Tens of millions of
people in 31 states were advised to stay inside Tuesday amid extreme
heat warnings.

Meanwhile, the government of Greece has asked the European Union to help
battle wildfires as the eastern Mediterranean region swelters under
extreme heat. Turkey's Environment Ministry recently reported a reading
of 50.5 degrees Celsius, or 123 degrees Fahrenheit - an all-time high
temperature record for Turkey.
