CNN —A historically hot summer in the United States is on a July killing spree and the toll will only grow with the hottest days yet to come.
It’s been the hottest summer on record to date for around 100 US cities from Maine to California.
Nine were over the age of 65, the county medical examiner told CNN.
At least 10 suspected heat deaths are being reported in Oregon.
The region is still typically quite hot in July even without heat reaching record levels daily.
