Old Orchard Beach, Maine, USA. 20 July, 2019. Beachgoers flock to the ocean to try and escape blistering heat and humidity in much of the northeast and central United States. The temperature in Old Orchard Beach, Maine came close to 90º F with a heat index of almost 100º Saturday, with temperatures expected to be higher on Sunday. The heat wave coincided with the 50th Anniversary of a large fire which burned down a portion of the The Pier, shown rebuilt in the background. © Jim Marabello/ Alamy Live News
