Heat Wave Slams Southern U.S., Disrupting Life and Routines

Outdoor workers, fishermen, and students at band camp are adapting to the pervasive heat in the American South.
The heat wave, driven by climate change, has raised concerns about heat stress and dehydration.
People are using various remedies, such as cooling rags and citrus-scented cologne, to cope with the heat.
Accommodations, such as earlier start times and cooling centers, are being implemented to mitigate the effects of the heat.
Despite the discomfort, musicians at the Southwind Drum and Bugle Corps are pushing through the heat to continue their intensive camp and prepare for performances.
