FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SUBJECT: Extreme Heat: The $100B Productivity Crisis That’s Melting the Economy

CEOs, this is not a weather report. This is a financial call.

With heat indexes hitting 110°F+ across the Midwest and Northeast, the real crisis isn’t dehydration—it’s operational paralysis. Outdoor construction is down 40%. Warehouses without climate control are seeing a 22% drop in pick speeds. Even office productivity is cratering as cognitive function degrades above 85°F.

The bottom line: this heat advisory is a direct drag on Q3 margins.

Action required: Shift outdoor crews to night shifts. Audit HVAC failure points today. And for the love of revenue, do not let your supply chain freeze because your workers did.

The market is watching. Are you still working in the heat?
