CBSN
A series of major heat waves are hitting countries around the world, including the U.S, Italy, Greece and the United Kingdom. In the U.S, high temperatures have spread from several south-central states into the Northeast region, breaking at least 60 daily high temperature records in states like Utah, Texas, Oklahoma and Colorado — and triple-digit temperatures are forecast for Washington, D.C. and Wichita, Kansas, over the weekend.
At least 92 large wildfires are currently burning more than 3 million acres across 14 states, according to the National Interagency Fire Center. And almost 100 million people are under excessive heat warnings or heat advisories, according to the National Weather Service.
As Americans battle the heat, CBS News spoke to three experts who offered some do's and don'ts for keeping cool during high temperatures and how to keep you and your loved ones safe without breaking the bank.
