PHOTOS – Scenes from extreme hot weather around the world

The challenge of rising heat is global. On Sunday, the National Weather Service issued a heat warning for parts of the United States, predicting a "prolonged period of dangerously hot conditions" with "extreme heat and high humidity." Dozens of heat-related deaths have been reported this summer in India, where temperatures have reached 120 degrees Fahrenheit and nights remain above 90 degrees in some parts of the country, reports The Washington Post. 

Furthermore, they have published over 60 photographs that demonstrate extreme weather around the world. You can find these pictures below:
