For those who work outdoors, including roofers and other construction trades, a warming planet inspires a new index from the Centers for Disease Control
The National Weather Service warns that a major heatwave will hit the continental U.S., affecting over 22 million people with temperatures reaching the 90s and heat indices up to 105°F from Texas to Maine before summer officially begins.
