Hold onto your ice pops, America! A sizzling heat wave is gripping the nation, putting over 130 million people at risk from coast to coast. Forecasters warn this historic event could shatter temperature records well into next week, with cities like Portland, Salem, and Norfolk scrambling to open cooling centers.
Breaking Records
Jacob Asherman, a National Weather Service meteorologist, told NewspaperAmigo.com the combo of heat and humidity will push temps past 38°C (100°F) in the Pacific Northwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast. Imagine walking through a giant oven—yikes! Oregon’s Eugene and other cities may see all-time highs, while Arizona’s Bullhead City remains a literal hot spot.
What’s Next?
The NWS has extended excessive heat warnings across the Southwest until Friday. Pro tip: Hydrate like it’s your part-time job and avoid outdoor workouts (yes, even that TikTok dance challenge). Scientists link these intense heat events to climate change—so while fans and ACs work overtime, the conversation about our planet’s future heats up too.
