An intense heat wave threatens millions of people across the Southeast with temperatures reaching 115 degrees through midweek.

Dangerous heat is set to bake the Southeast with potentially record-breaking temperatures through early next week. Multiple cities such as Raleigh, Charleston, Savannah and Jacksonville are forecasted to reach upper 90s and even triple digits.

The soupy, smothering extreme heat that has scorched parts of the Northern Hemisphere this summer takes a hard toll on our bodies. It can make you feel nauseous, woozy and dehydrated. It can have pernicious health effects on multiple organs. But there’s another, less well-known, impact of extreme heat: It makes you age faster.

Hot and humid Sunday and Monday, as highs could make a run toward 90°. Storms possible Sunday night to early Monday AM
