A relentless heat dome is ravaging Mexico, Central America, and the US South, leading to severe consequences. In Mexico, four dozen people have died, and approximately 150 monkeys have succumbed to heat stroke. The extreme drought, exacerbated by the heat, has brought Mexico City and its 22 million residents to the brink of 'Day Zero,' when the city is expected to run out of water in a matter of weeks. This crisis is being amplified by climate change, affecting both human and animal populations.

Mexico City is suffering through a brutal heat wave, drought that climate change is worsening. People and animals are suffering, and "Day Zero," when the city runs out of water, is estimated as uncomfortably close. Via @BecFalconer https://t.co/f6IBNJGsm2
