Phoenix, July 20 (RHC)-- In the United States, more than 88 million people are under excessive heat warnings and advisories on Tuesday.  Smoke from hundreds of Canadian wildfires is triggering “unhealthy” air quality alerts across New England and as far south as Atlanta, Georgia, and Birmingham, Alabama. 

Phoenix, Arizona, recorded its 18th consecutive day over 110 degrees Fahrenheit on Tuesday, with no respite in sight.  A recent study found that a loss of the power grid in Phoenix during a heat wave would cause at least 12,000 deaths, with hundreds of thousands more needing treatment for heat-related illnesses.
