More than 100 million Americans have been advised to stay indoors if possible due to extreme temperatures and humidity in swathes of the country stretching from the Gulf coast to the Great Lakes and the Carolinas.
About 107.5 million people will be affected by heat advisories and excessive heat warnings and watches on Wednesday, the National Weather Service prediction center warned on Monday. It follows a record-setting heatwave in the west and south-west over the weekend.
We would like to hear from people living in areas affected by the warning. Have you been advised to stay indoors? Are you able to follow the advice? What impact is the extreme heat having on you?
