    Dangerously hot weather is scorching the Philadelphia region.

    Why it matters: Exposure to extreme or prolonged heat caused by climbing global temperatures is the top weather-related killer in the U.S.


    State of play: The Philly metro is under an excessive heat warning through 8pm Wednesday, when temperatures are forecast to climb to 95.

    • The National Weather Service says heat indices will reach as high as 109. The agency warns that people without effective cooling or adequate hydration are most at risk.
