La Niña | How HR should handle blistering heat across the U.S.

The U.S has, in recent years, dealt with some scorching summers. However, whilst blistering heat may have become the norm, the mercury over the last month has led to unprecedented records across the nation.

According to National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the ‘heat dome’ of La Niña that is currently engulfing many states is currently affecting a massive one quarter of the population.

And, it’s not over. In fact, the current heat dome enveloping the southwest is expected to expand this week as far east as North Carolina.

The Weather Channel is predicting temperatures in some major cities to rise over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, including Miami, New Orleans, and Atlanta.
