Heatwave Adam started on Sunday, June 20th, 2025, and affected the Midwest, Northeast, and Southern parts of the United States. More than 200 million people were affected by the heatwave, and 160 million people lived in areas where the highest level of heat alerts were issued.[1]
Name Origins
"Adam" is the name given to the first heatwave that hit the United States in 2025. It was coined via a grassroots movement of concerned American citizens who want heatwaves to be taken more seriously and recognized for how deadly they can be. The National Weather Service does not name heat waves because they deem them to be "highly contextual" to the localized climate conditions.[2] The National Weather Service's "Weather Related Fatality and Injury Statistics" for 2024 reflect that heat related death were over 2.5 times greater than deaths attributed to hurricanes[1] - which have been named since 1953.[3] According to the World Health Organization, "Heatwaves are among the most dangerous of natural hazards, but rarely receive adequate attention..."
