Washington.- Large areas of the central and eastern United States are preparing for a heat wave expected next week, with very high temperatures for the month of June, according to information published by the Agence France Presse news agency.
Large areas of the central and eastern United States are preparing for a heat wave expected next week, with very high temperatures for the month of June.
“Temperatures will skyrocket next week from the Midwest to the Northeast” of the country, the National Weather Service (NWS) warned this Friday on the social network X, which has “dozens of records” for daily heat.
This wave is expected to begin Sunday in the center and spread across the Midwest and Northeast before Tuesday. It will last most of the week, according to the NWS.
“Heat is the leading cause of weather-related deaths most years. Take it seriously,” the weather service warned.
The capital, Washington, has already activated its “heat emergency” alert for this Friday, said Mayor Muriel Bowser, and “extreme temperatures are expected for next week.”
The temperature could rise to 38 degrees on June 23. Cities like Chicago and New York will also be affected.
Scientists consider recurring heat waves to be an unequivocal marker of global warming and predict that they will multiply, lengthen and intensify even more.
