The U.S. is going to experience a week-long heatwave. It has already started, with the Midwest experiencing scorching temperatures on Sunday and the Northeast, Great Lakes, and Mid-Atlantic regions getting hit over the next few days.
This will result in major cities such as New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Indianapolis receiving temperatures in the high 90s. Even Vermont and New Hampshire are receiving those same highs. In the nights, temperatures will drop to the 70s, giving some relief.
This is the first major heatwave of the year in the U.S., and this extreme weather is becoming too common and intense due to climate change. This particular event started happening after a heat dome gave sweltering temperatures of over 100℉ to the Western and Southwestern regions of the country.
People most at risk of heat-related illness are infants/young children, pregnant women, older adults, and people with chronic illness. Anyone living in the areas affected, we at YNH wish you a safe progression through this.
