Heat advisory issued for 11 US states: Record-high minimum, overnight temperatures this week
A relentless heat dome has settled over the central United States, resulting in heat advisories and excessive heat warnings across 11 states. The National Weather Service (NWS) estimated that over 99 million people are affected by dangerously high temperatures stretching from the Upper Midwest to the Gulf Coast. Eleven states under heat advisory as dangerous heatwave sweeps across the United States According to a USA Today report, temperature highs across the region are soaring well into the 90s and beyond. The heat index values are reaching 110 to 115 degrees Fahrenheit in some areas, including St Louis, Little Rock, and Chicago. The heat index, which accounts for humidity, makes temperatures feel significantly hotter and increases the risk of heat-related illnesses. Where is the heat most severe? Another Newsweek report stated that the states under heat advisories or excessive heat warnings are: Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Alabama. In these areas, the overnight temperatures remain in the upper 70s or low 80s. This makes recovery from daytime heat nearly impossible, especially for those without air conditioning. Also Read: Extreme heatwave sweeps across US: What to wear, drink and more tips to stay safe Night offers no relief either AccuWeather meteorologist Alex DaSilva, according to Newsweek report, said that record-high minimum temperatures, the highest overnight lows ever recorded, are expected across multiple states. The humidity and urban infrastructure mean night time temperatures would not be falling below 80°F. This will significantly compound health risks. DaSilva warned that this kind of heat could be deadly and added that vulnerable populations like the elderly, children, and those without access to cooling are especially at risk. Why it matters? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and NWS use a tool called HeatRisk to monitor health threats from extreme heat. According to a Yahoo report, parts of the Midwest and the Deep South have reached Level 3 and Level 4 alerts. Hospitals are already seeing increased ER visits due to heat exhaustion, dehydration, and heatstroke. Also Read: What is corn sweat? Heat wave in Midwest to feel worse this week, here's why What's next? The USA Today report added that the heat dome is not expected to break soon, and the Northeast will begin to feel the impact by July 25 with heat indices exceeding 100°F. It stated that experts have warned this is part of a larger trend of extreme weather conditions and urged people to take precautions, stay indoors and look after vulnerable community members. FAQs Q: What temperature is a heat advisory? A: A heat advisory is typically issued when the heat index is forecast to be 100°F–104°F for at least two consecutive days. Q: What heat is unsafe to be in? A: Heat becomes dangerous when the heat index rises above 90°F, especially with high humidity or when sustained for hours. Q: Can I run during a heat advisory? A: It's not recommended. Exercise during cooler hours (early morning) and stay hydrated. Avoid exertion when the heat index exceeds 100°F. Q: How much worse will the heat get by 2050? A: Climate scientists project a significant increase in the number of extreme heat days by 2050 due to global warming, particularly in urban areas. Q: Is it okay to go to the pool during a heat advisory? A: If the pool is accessible and not overcrowded, it can offer relief but limit sun exposure, stay hydrated, and avoid midday hours.

Extreme heat warning in 11 US states and record-high temperatures could be broken. Is yours on the list?
Tens of millions of people will swelter under a lingering heat dome swirling over the eastern half of the US in the coming week, meteorologists warn. The National Weather Service (NWS) said more than 35 million people are at a major or extreme risk of heat effects. Current forecasts show the number doubling on July 24 as hot weather shifts eastward. By July 25, it will reach nearly 90 million, with advisories or warnings covering most of the eastern half of the country. 'Even though it's midsummer, this is pretty notable,' says Bryan Jackson, a meteorologist at the NWS Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Md. Extreme heat warning in US Extreme heat warnings and heat advisories have affected US from the Upper Midwest to the South for several days in a row this week. The pattern is expected to continue for the rest of the month, with several states expecting record heat as dangerously high temperatures persist across the nation, reports NewsWeek.

You won't believe the prize they received The Central US from Wisconsin to Louisiana was under a heat advisory on Wednesday. In some areas, temperatures and humidity levels were severe enough to prompt extreme heat warnings. Heat advisories also stretched into the Northeast. Live Events The persistent heat, although uncomfortable and even life-threatening at times, does not look as though it will break many high-temperature records in the Mississippi Valley, where most of the heat is, AccuWeather Meteorologist Alex DaSilva told Newsweek. "A lot of records in the Mississippi Valley where most of the heat is located are really high, and to get to those records would take a lot," he said. ALSO READ: Was Elon Musk right?

"Record high [minimums] are when your low temperature at night is at a record high," DaSilva told Newsweek. "A lot more of those are going to be broken here over the next couple of days." Through Thursday, there's potential for 11 states to break record-high minimum temperatures: Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and possibly Alabama, DaSilva said. At night, temperatures across these regions will remain in the upper 70s or lower 80s. When combined with the humidity, it's going to be "really nasty," DaSilva told NewsWeek. During the day, the heat index — or what the temperature actually feels like — could soar to between 110 and 115 degrees from St. Louis, Missouri, down to Central Louisiana. Nighttime heat can be especially hazardous, as many cooling options like pools, cooling centers, movie theaters, and restaurants are often closed during those hours.

"For people who don't have AC or people more vulnerable to heat, this can cause issues," DaSilva said. AccuWeather Meteorologist Alex DaSilva told Newsweek: "Toward the weekend, everything shifts east, so it kind of expands. Places in the Northeast will join the party on Friday and into the weekend. Today and tomorrow most of heat will be confined Mississippi Valley. On Friday, the heat gets into the Northeast, as well places even into New England and the Carolina coast can break those record high mins." National Weather Service (NWS) in a post on Facebook: "It's the height of summer, so it being hot in the southern U.S. is no surprise. BUT, when triple digits during the day barely drop to 80 overnight, it becomes extremely dangerous. Extreme and record heat is likely throughout the South through next week with extreme impacts possible for those without adequate cooling or hydration." The NWS has issued several messages warning people that the heat could persist through the end of July. People across the states impacted by the heat are encouraged to monitor local weather guidance, stay hydrated and stay out of the sun as the heat persists.

U.S. boils under brutal heatwave: Extreme alerts issued in several states; here's what we know
Extreme heat warnings are being sent out by the National Weather Service (NWS) to people in the Southern and Midwestern parts of the United States. A heat dome is expected to cover large swaths of the country within this coming week. As a consequence, temperature and humidity levels are expected to spike over a wide scale, with these climate changes stretching over to the Northeastern region by the time Thursday rolls around. An 'Extreme Heat Watch' was issued for the cities of Illinois, Louisiana, and Iowa on Monday, which is expected to last all the way until Thursday. This same Monday, an 'Extreme Heat Warning' alert, which warns of imminent and dangerous heat events, was sent to the states of Missouri, Kentucky, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Tennessee. The state of Missouri would get such a warning this Tuesday. 200 million Americans to suffer triple digit temperatures Per AccuWeather's analysis, 200 million people are set to experience triple-digit temperatures, said to be in the 'RealFeel' range, on Juny 25 alone. 70 million Americans are likely to be affected by the 'Extreme Heat Warnings' being issued all across the United States. THE HUGE U.S. HEAT DOME HITS100 million to swelter daily in massive US heat domeA massive heat dome will be long-lasting and unforgiving across large areas of the United States in the coming weeks, with feel like temperatures surpassing 110 warming has dropped to… These areas have been labelled 'dangerously hot' and may have heat index values that approach or surpass 110 degrees. Less severe heat advisories have been issued for the states of South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Indiana, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Michigan. Even in these places, however, temperatures are expected to cross the triple digit range. AccuWeather gives their analysis on the situation Speaking to Newsweek, AccuWeather's meteorologist Kai Kerkow had this to say: "A heat dome will bring near record breaking hot conditions across the South-Central U.S. this week, with cities like Wichita Falls, Dallas, and Kansas City expected to hit 100 degrees Fahrenheit for the first time this season.' A massive heat dome will be long-lasting and unforgiving across large areas of the United States in the coming weeks, with AccuWeather RealFeel Temperatures occasionally surpassing 110°F Kerkow added that temperatures would climb to the mid-90s in New York, Philadelphia and Washington D.C. According to him, New Tork City looks set to reach a 95 degree peak on Friday, which would just be 2 degrees short of the 97 degree record set in 1999.
