America feels the burn with more than 100M under deadly heatwave alerts and temperatures set to hit record highs across the country – so how hot will it be where YOU live?

America will feel the heat this weekend, with more than 100 million people under deadly heat wave warnings and temperatures set to reach record highs.

The sweltering heat will be felt across much of the densely populated Interstate 95 corridor and the humidity will only make matters worse.

Temperatures are expected to be around 35 degrees from the Central and Southern Plains to the East Coast.

This, combined with the humidity, will push the heat index to as high as 110 degrees, putting millions of Americans under a heat warning.

People are being warned to take the impending heatwave seriously and stay cool as temperatures will not drop much at night.

There is a heat crisis in Washington, DC, where temperatures may exceed 100 degrees for the first time since 2016.

The dangerous heat will be felt in parts of the Mid-Atlantic and the Ohio Valley and will spread to other areas as temperatures reach record highs.

Warnings are in place in southern and central California, including Colusa County, where firefighters are battling a blaze spanning 19,100 acres.

Temperatures there are expected to be between 100 and 106 degrees, which won’t help firefighters.

There won’t be much respite from the heat at night, a factor that only increases the health risks.

D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser confirmed that the extended heat emergency will remain active this weekend and into next week.

Thennie Freeman, director of the Parks and Recreation Department, said they are asking people to avoid overheating.

“Heat exhaustion is a reality. And so we want our residents to be protected from extreme heat,” he said CBS News.

“Drink lots of water, wear loose clothing, wear a hat, stay outside. During these peak hours, avoid the heat in the sun as much as possible.’

While Maryland Governor Wes Moore signed a declaration of preparedness on Thursday due to concerns about the heat wave as temperatures will reach 110 degrees.

New York City is experiencing temperatures of 90 degrees and higher this weekend and early next week.

The National Weather Service issued a heat advisory for the city for the first time this year.

Chicago broke a 1957 temperature record on Monday with a high of 97 degrees, while the city’s heat index is expected to peak near 100 degrees later this week.

More than 100 cooling centers have opened around Phoenix, Arizona, including two overnight shifts, after temperatures reached 112 degrees last Saturday.

A record 645 people died in the city last year, and weather forecasters say the first two weeks of June there were the hottest start to the month on record.

As temperatures rise across the US, experts are warning of the dangers of deadly heat stroke – which can develop after just 10 minutes of sitting outside in many parts of the country.

The heat is already the top weather-related killer in the US, leading officials to warn the millions in the heat wave area to take the climate of the coming days “seriously” or risk becoming one of the 700 Americans living there die every year. .

This week, two tourists, including an American, were found dead in Greece amid a “history-making” heat wave, with temperatures exceeding 109 degrees.

The human body has a narrow temperature range within which it can perform vital functions, roughly between 98 and 100 degrees.

Experts have told DailyMail.com that the ‘cascade of events’ that lead to heat stroke begins within seconds of exposure to extreme heat – more than 90 degrees – including sweating, rapid heartbeat and dehydration.

In just five to ten minutes, the heat removes blood from vital organs such as the brain, leading to confusion, dizziness and fainting.

And it only takes 15 minutes for the body to go into full-blown heat stroke and “a complete loss of body function” to occur.
