Mostly unsourced prose. Most significant impact seems to be the 2006–08 Southeastern United States drought, which has its own article. Wearing sunglasses, sunscreen, and a wide brimmed hat weren't bad ideas either. Right. Summer is hot. Who knew? Fails WP:NEVENT. — JFG talk 20:46, 23 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

That seemed a little underwhelming, so after a little searching, I do find journal articles like this mentioning Virginia and Alabama, but that's a primary journal article. If there was a really good in-depth secondary source I'd be a solid keep on this one. For now, I'm just going to chop some superfluous stuff out of the article, but considering I couldn't find good in-depth sources after a bit of searching, I'm fine with a redirect or merge too unless something new comes up.

P.S. I found plenty of reliable sources dating across 10 years' time; therefore it's not merely a one-time news event. I added cites and links, and made several corrections. This was difficult to find so I don't blame the nominator for not making a reasonable search. As I science teacher, I know a few Internet search tricks about looking for meteorological data. I request this be kept due to meeting the Heymann standard. I'm still working on it. Bearian (talk) 14:56, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
P.P.S. I found some New York Times articles about this heat wave behind a paywall. Bearian (talk) 15:10, 9 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
