Graduation Day Turns Into Heat Disaster

Imagine showing up to your graduation, only for over 150 people to get sick from the insane heat! That’s what happened in Paterson, NJ, where a heat dome pushed temps so high that the ceremony became a 'mass casualty incident.' People were fainting, some couldn’t breathe, and nine even ended up in the hospital. With climate change making heat waves more intense, even big milestones like graduation aren’t safe from the weather. Stay cool, folks—this summer’s just getting started! #ExtremeHeat #ClimateChange #Graduation2024 #Health #BodyHealth
