This week, Central and Eastern states are seeing temperatures well into the 90s, and high temperatures and humidity are intensifying, according to Accuweather.

These high temperatures can bring dangerous health risks for children. Each year, heatstroke claims the lives of nearly 40 children in cars, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

According to KidsandCars.org, at least 1,132 children have died from heatstroke over the last 35 years because they were forgotten or trapped in a hot vehicle. There have been seven hot car deaths this year, according to KidsandCars.org. The most recent death occurred in June in North Carolina.

The most hot-car incidents occur from May through September. Children have died in cars every month of the year, although June, July, and August are the most common months.
