Indiana and other states in the middle of the country will be part of an "extreme heat belt" in the next 30 years. Thats according to a new report by the First Street Foundation, a nonprofit risk mitigation research group.

The model predicts only 50 U.S. counties next year to have temperatures exceeding 125 degrees. By 2053, that number rises to 1,023 counties.

As climate change accelerates, more than 100 million Americans will find themselves regularly facing heat index temperatures of 125 degrees.

Researchers predict that by 2050, over 100 million Americans will live in an "extreme heat belt" where the heat index will exceed 52 degrees Celsius at least one day a year.  Read more at straitstimes.com.
