New government website heat.gov is the webpage for the National Integrated Heat Health Information System (NIHHIS). In addition to current conditions there is lots of information about projected warming decades into the future.

This is not looking good.

Texas is a disaster with record energy usage of about 80.8 GW as of early evening Tuesday. The whole power system would have blown out weeks ago without the massive installation of solar and windpower there.

And... that 80.8 GW isn't being given away. People are paying for it.

Projections into the near future are not looking good either, not good at all.

Heat alerts are cheap.

The wind and solar are the problem, and the zillions of Californians
who have moved to Texas with their Teslas.

One has to wonder what the Heat Alerts would have looked like in the mid
1930s?

Of course the population was smaller, and far fewer people lived in deserts.

Maybe, but guess what? They're here to stay. It won't get any cooler for the next ten generations, generations that in all likelihood will never exist..

And nobody had a/c.

Old people die, and that can be blamed on heat.

It's similar to the interesting fact that there were almost no flu
deaths in the USA in 2021.

Those heat waves didn't settle in for a month duration, and the night time lows were tolerable. Daily lows during heat waves are increasing in temperature faster than the daytime highs. The lows in Texas at night are staying above 80. That type of thing defeats most of the old ways of dealing with heat.

Contrary to popular belief, you never truly "get over" anything.

A single instance of the infection reduces lung health making the person just that much more susceptible to death in succeeding years. By the time people get older, they've experienced quite a few damaging pulmonary infections. That and other well-known vulnerabilities do them in.

At some point in time over the last 40 years someone redefined the
heatwave.
Now everytime its above 90f it's a heatwave.

It's a heat dome, new to Planet Earth.

Like a bomb cyclone, a polar vortex, a derecho, an atmosphetic river,
bombogenesis. Blame Climate Change.
