London Tube Carriages Can Be 5C Hotter Than Street-Level in a Heat Wave

For London commuters squished into cramped carriages, faces against sweaty armpits, every day is a heat wave, and every heat wave is an inferno. Unusually hot weather is making it almost unbearable to travel on the UK capital's underground train network. As pedestrians bake in 30C heat at street level, seeking shade among the wilting roadside trees, temperatures inside some tube carriages can be nearly 5C hotter.

Verizon contributes $10K in response to devastating flooding in West Virginia

WHEELING, June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- On June 15, devastating heavy rains and flash flooding severely impacted Ohio and Marion counties in West Virginia. This rare event saw up to 3 to 4 inches of rainfall in less than an hour in localized areas. Multiple fatalities and extensive damage to roads, bridges, buildings and homes have been reported. Thousands were left without power and the National Guard has been mobilized to support local emergency operations. In response to this disaster, Verizon is showing up for our customers and our neighbors in West Virginia by investing $10,000 in Appalachian Outreach, Inc. (AOI). AOI is a nonprofit that assists people experiencing poverty and disaster in Ohio, Marshall, and Wetzel counties. AOI is offering a variety of support for individuals and families impacted by the recent flooding including access to supplies, a charging station, and a comfortable place to rest and recharge. Additionally, AOI is collaborating with the Red Cross and the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources, to increase the number of community members they can reach directly. "When natural disasters unfold, our priority is to swiftly mobilize resources and provide support where it's needed most," said Anthony Lewis, Region Vice President of State Public Policy and Government Affairs for Verizon. "As always, our team worked to keep our network stable so that West Virginians can continue to connect with each other during these difficult times. Our partnership with Appalachian Outreach, Inc., further enables the delivery of immediate relief and ongoing support residents deserve as they work to recover and rebuild." "We are beyond grateful to Verizon for their compassion and commitment to West Virginia families," said Heather Ray, Executive Director of Appalachian Outreach, Inc. "Their generous $10,000 donation comes at a time when so many in our community are hurting in the wake of devastating flash floods. This support allows us to meet urgent needs—like hygiene items, clothing, food, and cleaning supplies—while also standing beside families as they begin the long journey toward recovery. We simply couldn't do this work without partners like Verizon who step up when it matters most." This investment is part of Verizon's larger commitment to responding to disasters across the country.

Amtrak responds after passengers trapped with no AC in tunnel amid heat wave

Amid the heat wave on the East Coast, a train headed north for Boston was halted on Monday afternoon. Northeast Regional Amtrak Train 94 was reportedly stuck in the Baltimore & Potomac Tunnel before Baltimore Penn Station toward Wilmington, Delaware. According to a Fox 5 Washington DC report, passengers were on the stalled train for more than an hour without power or air conditioning, with only limited cell service. The train travels between Boston, Massachusetts, and Washington, D.C. – a common commute for people in the Northeast. The passengers were evacuated from the train by 5 p.m. EST and were provided with alternative transportation options, including Train 176, which was held in Baltimore to accommodate passengers, the report stated. When contacted by Fox News Digital, Amtrak provided the below statement. "After a locomotive malfunction, passengers on Amtrak Train 94 were transferred to Baltimore Station and then provided train service to their final destination. Service recovery was initiated on board with snack packs and bottled water. We apologize to our customers for the inconvenience." Amtrak Northeast warned travelers on X to consider re-booking if they planned to ride Train 94 from Wilmington to Boston. "Travel Advisory: For customers traveling between Wilmington (WIL) and Boston (BOS) on Train 94, please utilize the self-modify option to re-book the next available train to your destination," the post reads. "For assistance, please see a Station Representative or text 268725. We sincerely appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause." According to Fox Weather, the northeast experienced some of the hottest temperatures seen in a century on Monday, with extreme heat warnings spanning the East Coast. "The expansive heat dome brought temperatures above 90 degrees for more than 190 million Americans in the East, but it wasn't just the high temperatures making people feel miserable," Fox Weather reported. "Humidity is soaring, with dew points rising into the 70s." "Tens of millions of people, from the mid-Atlantic to the Northeast and New England, will need to prepare for extreme heat to avoid heat-related illnesses that could arise as temperatures soar." Exposure to extreme heat can lead to heat-related illnesses and fatalities among the young, old and those with chronic conditions like asthma or heart disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
