The heat index, mixin’ that temperature and wetness in the air, could hit the 100s, according to the New York Times and the data crunchers. Might be the biggest crowd in the U.S. faced with that extreme heat all at once this year.
Records Lookin’ Shaky π

The whole planet’s heatin’ up ’bout 2 degrees Fahrenheit since back in the 19th century. Gonna keep gettin’ hotter till we cut back on that oil, gas, and coal. Makes the weather wilder, the heatwaves longer and more intense.

ππ‘οΈ Northeast Faces Searing Summer Heat: Residents Begin to Feel the Swelter
The intense heat that has already scorched other parts of the country for over a month reached the nation’s most populous region on Thursday. Rising temperatures π‘οΈ and a blanket of oppressive humidity have led to widespread heat warnings in New England and the Mid-Atlantic states.
Friday Will Be the Peak!
The heat will probably peak on Friday, when about 118 million Americans πΊπΈ, more than a third of the population, are expected to be in the “danger” zone. The heat index, which combines temperature and humidity, could rise into the 100s, according to a New York Times analysis of data from the National Weather Service and U.S. Census Bureau. This might be among the largest proportions of the U.S. population to be threatened at the same time by extreme heat so far this year.
Records Could Be Broken π
More than a dozen daily heat records might be set across the Northeast on Thursday and Friday, meteorologists said. Many of them could occur at nighttime when temperatures might remain unusually high and not cool down as they typically would.
Cities are Prepared π
Cities up and down the East Coast responded to the looming heat spike with emergency measures aimed at preventing heat-related illnesses and deaths. In Philadelphia, where temperatures were forecast to reach 96 on Thursday and 99 on Friday, city leaders declared a “heat health emergency.” They opened 32 air-conditioned sites for residents to seek relief and added extra outreach to people without housing.
Similarly, in Hartford, Conn., authorities opened cooling centers in libraries, churches, and senior centers to protect the elderly and other vulnerable populations.
Thunderstorms are Coming π§οΈβοΈ
Severe thunderstorms were expected to sweep through many states on Thursday afternoon and evening, including western Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont, where flood watches were in effect on Thursday. Springfield, Mass., and Montpelier, Vermont’s capital city, could be at risk for flooding after heavy rainfall pushed rivers over their banks.
New York in the Red π½π₯
Facing three days of potentially record-setting temperatures of 95 to 100 degrees on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, New York was placed under an excessive heat warning by the National Weather Service through Friday night. So was Washington, where temperatures were expected to hover around 100 degrees into the weekend.
The planet has warmed by about 2 degrees Fahrenheit since the 19th century, and it will continue to grow hotter until humans essentially stop burning oil, gas, and coal. The warmer overall temperatures contribute to extreme weather events and help make periods of extreme heat more frequent, longer, and more intense.
Over the next few days, New York City could see its hottest stretch of the year, if not several years, according to Dominic Ramunni, a meteorologist in the New York offices of the Weather Service. Though the temperature in Central Park has hit 90 degrees or higher on six days this year, it hasn’t yet reached the threshold to be considered a heatwave.
Other Areas Feel It Too ποΈπ₯
In the Midwest and Southwest, which are already reeling from heat, residents will continue to swelter. In Phoenix, scorching high temperatures of 113 degrees were forecast through Saturday, continuing a long stretch of torrid, life-threatening weather.
At least a half-dozen deaths in national parks have been attributed to heat this summer, an unusually high number. Experts say an accurate count of all heat-related deaths may be slow in coming, as the role of heat can often be entangled with underlying health conditions.
Relief is in Sight π
For at least some parts of the country, relief is forecast for next week, with temperatures and humidity levels in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast expected to fall back into a normal range, if not below average, on Sunday and Monday. Stay hydrated, seek shade, and be cautious in this extreme heat! ππ₯€π΄
