The apparent heat being experienced by folks, in the US at least, is being influenced by an unusually strong El Nino this year. I say "apparent" because I see it on the news, and hear folks complaining about it where they are, but I've seen none of it here - nothing has been out of the ordinary temperature-wise here.
They expect that El Nino may go as high as 2.7 C above normal this year, and predicted back in the spring that it'll be rough.
