Need2Know Headlines

And the heat wave across the southern US just keeps breaking records on Sunday and on Monday, ocean temperatures in South Florida measure just above 100 degrees. If confirmed, that would be the highest ever ocean surface temperature recorded in history. That's bad for the area's coral reef population. They need temperatures in the mid eighties to survive. And as of this morning, the National weather service has put most of the Midwest and several Northeastern states under a heat advisory that's expected to persist through at least Friday. The southwest will also continue to have far above average temperatures.
