Pollution And Extreme Heat

Heavy haze and humidity are visible as pollution and steam rise from the stacks of the Miami Fort Power Station, located along the Ohio River in North Bend, Ohio, on July 1, 2026. The Midwest is currently under an extreme heat warning, with dangerously high temperatures expected to increase on Wednesday. Combined with humidity, this could result in heat indices ranging from 100 to 115 degrees from the Midwest to the East Coast. (Photo by Jason Whitman/NurPhoto)
