The 2007 North America South and Eastern heatwave was a continuation and eastward expansion of the 2007 Western North American heat wave which began in late June 2007. The heatwave expanded eastward starting at the very end of July and lasting into the first weeks of August. This heat wave was notable for both associated severe drought over a large swath of the southeastern United States, and parts of the Great Lakes region, and its late season ending, with temperatures continuing, although more sporadically, well into the 90s °F (30s °C) into September and October in the mid-Atlantic region.
