braking news Nearly 100 Million Under Temperature Advisories as Heat Wave Lingers
During the first day of summer, approximately 100 million people in the United States experienced temperatures exceeding 90 degrees, with a high-pressure system causing a heatwave that was expected to persist through the weekend.
The extreme heat led to the breaking of temperature records and disrupted daily routines across various regions, from the Midwest to New England. Consequently, nearly one-third of the American population was under heat advisories, warnings, or watches.
In response to the heat, law enforcement in different states conducted wellness checks on the elderly and encouraged the homeless to utilize cooling centers. In the New York area, some schools dismissed students early due to the heat, with some parents personally deciding to remove their children from school to avoid the high temperatures.
For instance, Simone Machado took her son Bryan, a fourth-grader at Ann Street Elementary School in Newark, New Jersey, out of school early when he developed a heat rash. The forecast for the following day in Newark was for temperatures to approach 100 degrees, coinciding with the last day of school before summer break, leaving students like Bryan with mixed feelings about attending.
