Record-Breaking Heatwave Sweeps Across Eastern US
An intense heatwave is currently affecting the eastern United States, with cities such as New York, Philadelphia, and Washington DC experiencing unusually high temperatures for April. According to The Guardian, this weather pattern is expected to challenge record high temperatures, with forecasts predicting temperatures reaching up to 94°F (34°C) in some areas. The heatwave, which began on Wednesday, is notable not only for its intensity but also for its duration, as it is expected to persist into the weekend. This early-season heat follows severe storms that impacted Kansas, Minnesota, and Wisconsin earlier in the week.
