Considering the humidity in most of the eastern states, the air temperature will be felt as 100 with more than Fahrenheit (37 and above Celsius), in fact exceeding 90 (32) in degree, writes The Daily Mail.

“[According to the warnings], the combination of high temperatures and high humidity could create a situation where heat-related illness is possible,” explains the National Weather Service (NWS).

“Heat and humidity can cause stress during long periods of time outdoors or prolonged exposure to heat. Children and the elderly, those who do not have air conditioning, and those who take part in activities outside buildings and shelters are at risk.”

At the same time, the cold front, which is now slowly moving eastward, can lead to weather deterioration in the Midwest.

Some parts of the state of Missouri are noted in warnings of extreme heat up to 7 in the evening local time on Tuesday.

Also under the warnings of such states as Vermont, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan, Tennessee, Maine, Massachusetts.

“Drink plenty of fluids, stay indoors with air conditioning, stay out of the sun and check on family and neighbors. Take precautions if you work or spend time outdoors. Whenever possible, move physical activity to early morning or evening. Make sure you know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. If possible, wear light, loose clothing and drink plenty of water."

“To reduce risk while working outdoors, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas. Anyone who has been out in the heat for a long time should be moved to a cool, shaded area. Heatstroke is an emergency. Call 911."

According to ABC News, it looks like the temperature record in 93 degrees Fahrenheit (34 Celsius) was recorded on Sunday at Chicago Airport in Wheeling, which was felt like 106 (41) degrees due to humidity.

By Wednesday, the New England states will experience the most severe heat wave. An extreme heat warning was also issued for Hartford, Connecticut, and Boston, where temperatures could range between 100 and 105 (38 and 40,5) degrees.

“Heat advisories have been posted for most communities in Illinois, as well as along the Mississippi River, as well as parts of the northeastern and northern mid-Atlantic states,” the NWS said.

“Special weather statements have been issued for certain areas of the Ohio Valley. Heat indices will exceed 100 (38) degrees today and Tuesday, and some temperature records may be broken.”

Last weekend, extreme weather affected the Midwest. A tornado broke out in Indiana, and more than 100 destructive storms were recorded on the territory of the Plains and Great Lakes.

In addition to the heat in the Northeast, a cold front is expected to continue moving east. This could cause severe weather between Iowa and Michigan. The most likely threats are gale force winds, hail and isolated tornadoes.

There is also a chance of heavy rainfall in Wisconsin and parts of the Midwest. These hazards will affect the area between Kansas and Michigan on Tuesday as the cold front slows. The most serious threat is gale force winds, hail and possible rare tornadoes.
