Climate Central released an analysis showing that 293 million Americans (86 percent of the population) experienced at least 30 days of extreme heat during summer 2026. In Asia, 2.8 billion people faced the same exposure. The average American endured about 26 days with temperatures strongly influenced by climate change, with western states hit hardest: Colorado recorded 4.4°F above normal, followed by Utah and Nevada at 3.8°F each.
