San Francisco experiencing coldest summer since 1982 while much of US hit with dangerous heat

San Francisco is currently experiencing the coldest summer it has seen since 1982.

Temperatures there have only climbed above 70 degrees twice this season.

The average daily temperature is a chilly 59 degrees.

City residents have definitely noticed the fall-like chill in the air.

The city is also seeing more rain than usual.

All of that moisture helps contribute to the fog that keeps the area cold this time of year.

This, as than 185 million people across the U.S. from South Dakota to Florida and up the East Coast to Boston are on alert for widespread, dangerous heat.
