Eastern heat persists
Major cities in the eastern U.S., including New York, Baltimore, and Boston, experienced record-high temperatures, with New York City hitting 100°F for the first time since 2012. Governor Hochul urged residents to conserve electricity as the heat wave nears its end, while warnings about cumulative health risks emphasize the danger to vulnerable populations.
Explain It To Me Like I’m 5:
Eastern heat persists
The East Coast is really hot right now, with big cities like New York and Boston hitting 100 degrees, and it’s so hot that some people are having trouble staying cool and safe.
Cumulative health risks
This heat can make people sick, especially those who are older or have health issues, so it’s important to drink water and find a cool place to rest.
Cooler weather on the way
But don’t worry, cooler weather is coming soon, with temperatures dropping by a lot to help everyone feel better!
