Summary
Maryland’s sweltering summer has already claimed 38 heat-related deaths — more than last year’s total and the highest since 2012 — as relentless heat indexes over 100 degrees and wildfire smoke compound the danger. July alone accounted for 31 of those deaths, with Baltimore and Prince George’s County each reporting eight fatalities. Shockingly, more than half occurred indoors, underscoring that no space is truly safe from the heat. Emergency services are overwhelmed, doctors are treating everything from cramps to life-threatening heat stroke, and officials are urging hydration, cooling off, and avoiding peak heat hours — especially for kids and those with health conditions. The state is ramping up with public awareness, a real-time data dashboard, cooling centers, and new workplace safety rules — all in a race to protect communities as climate extremes intensify.
