An international team of climate experts known as the World Weather Attribution initiative has analyzed the late June heatwave in the U.S. Pacific Northwest and come to a preliminary conclusion that it was a roughly 1-in-1,000-year event.
The extreme weather has bent roads, melted power cables, and triggered heat warnings for 50 million people in North America.
However, pictures often speak louder than words, so Bored Panda compiled a collection of vivid images that perfectly sum up how the temperatures have affected people and their surroundings. Enjoy.
