Record heat: in 18 US states, temperatures will rise above 100F
Record high temperatures continue to plague America, with 18 states set to soar above 100ºF (38ºC) this July holiday week. Tens of millions of Americans already felt the heat last weekend, and forecasters are not yet encouraging.

Extreme temperatures will persist in most parts of the country in the next few days: warnings of exceptional heat are spreading everywhere, from Memphis to Michigan, as well as to areas of the Middle Atlantic and to northern England, writes The Daily Mail.

Temperatures of 90 to 100 degrees (32 to 38 Celsius) combined with high dew points will likely push heat indices to 100 to 110 degrees (38 to 43 Celsius) for many regions, according to the National Weather Service. Heat index is how a person feels the air temperature, regardless of the actual thermometer readings. It is always influenced by the environment, humidity and other factors.
At night, the minimum temperature is unlikely to drop below 80 degrees (26-27 Celsius) in some major cities. Daily highs may exceed the summer norm by 10-20 degrees. The heat will last at least until Independence Day.

Extreme heat makes people change their plans and cancel events. For example, NASCAR closed its annual weekend on Chicagoland Speedway. The air temperature outside reached 90 degrees (32 Celsius), and inside the racing cars grew three times. Drivers put bags with ice into suits and poured cold water on their faces during pit stops.
And in Wisconsin at this time, the journalist put the raw cookie dough on the dashboard of his car to see if the treat would be baked. The temperature in the car reached 170 degrees (almost 77 Celsius). Of course, for baking this is not enough, but for a child or an animal abound: parents and owners, pay attention!

The heat has already led to the fact that in some cities in Ohio they refused to hold a firework show in honor of the Fourth of July, and in Minnesota, a concert organized by schools in one of the districts was canceled.
The authorities in New York have warned that the heat wave is expected to be the longest in the last two years: over five days in a row the streets will be more than 90 degrees (32 Celsius). There are also unexpected warnings for city dwellers: the number of cockroaches that will try to climb from the streets into houses to escape the heat may increase.
The Kansas City Meteorological Service published a call on Twitter: "Limit your time on the street, wear light and light clothing, rest more often, preferably in the shade, drink plenty of water."
Syracuse, Buffalo and cities in the New York and Vermont areas could experience record heat on Sunday (Syracuse, for example, has seen temperatures of 100 degrees — almost 38 Celsius — only 10 times since 1902). From Texas to Wisconsin, heat index increases to more than 100 degrees are reported, with select cities such as Des Moines, Chicago and St. Louis reporting temperatures of 110 or higher. But areas from the Plains to the Upper Great Lakes are expected to experience flash flooding and severe weather deterioration.

If you plan to spend time this week in the fresh air, it is very important to drink enough clean water and limit alcohol consumption depending on your health and physical activity. Most likely, it will be very difficult to fall asleep without air conditioning, since the houses and streets will get very hot.
Forecasts show that the wave will peak at the weekend and early next week, and then decline.
