问题 In Canada, how many deaths were caused by the extreme heat?
(25) In Canada, an extreme heat alert remained in effect, a day after two dozen cities and towns broke their previous single-day heat records. At least 22 deaths have been blamed on the heat.
    Many regions in the central U. S. and parts of the eastern seaboard have seen heat indexes—a combination of temperature and humidity—topping 43℃. Airports near Washington and Baltimore hit 40. 5℃; Boston 39. 5℃; Portland, Maine, and Concord, New Hampshire, 38.5℃; and Providence, Rhode Island, 38℃.
