School districts across the country are starting their academic years in July or August, increasing the chances that students will face extremely hot weather. For instance, on a playground in Lansing, Michigan, children are navigating the summer heat.
Notably, temperatures in Phoenix reached 117 degrees Fahrenheit, or 47 degrees Celsius, during July 2026. Despite the heat, children in the area continued their outdoor activities, including walking to and from school, playing during recess, and participating in baseball practice.
The Conversation, a nonprofit news outlet, reports on how these changes affect daily life and activities, aiming to provide factual analysis from researchers and scientists.
