Record-Breaking Heat Wave Expected to Impact 150 Million Americans
A significant heat wave is forecasted to affect approximately 150 million Americans, with temperatures expected to reach the 90s or above through early next week. The heat wave will initially impact the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, with cities like Washington, DC, and New York City experiencing temperatures in the upper 80s and 90s. This surge in heat could potentially tie or break daily temperature records in several locations, including Dulles International Airport and JFK International Airport. The heat wave is part of a broader pattern of rising global temperatures, following the planet's second-warmest May on record.
