Heat Wave Impacts Multiple U.S. Regions with Record Temperatures and Power Concerns

The United States is currently experiencing a severe heat wave impacting multiple regions, with temperatures soaring into the mid-90s and even triple digits in some areas. Around 100 million people are under heat advisories, particularly along the East Coast's I-95 corridor, with heat indices exceeding 100°F in cities like New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. Some regions, including Southern California, Arizona, and Nevada, face 'monsoon-like' conditions, while air quality advisories have been issued for New York City and surrounding areas. The Midwest and Ohio Valley may see some relief as cooler temperatures and storms are expected to move in, but the Mid-Atlantic and other areas will continue to experience extreme heat. Nationwide, there are concerns about heat-related health risks, prompting authorities to open cooling centers and issue safety warnings. In India, contrasting weather patterns show isolated heatwave conditions in Uttar Pradesh, while heavy rainfall and red alerts have been issued for coastal regions including Karnataka, Kerala, and Goa.
