Midwest Heatwave Sweeps Across the Country | San Antonio News

The Midwest is in a full-blown heat emergency, with temps hitting 90s and soaring toward 100 in cities like Detroit, and the humidity makes it feel even worse. Millions across Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Iowa are under extreme heat warnings, with relief nowhere in sight. The heatwave is on the move — by July 4th, the Northeast, including New York and Boston, will feel the burn, so much so that a parade in Norristown, PA, was canceled for safety. Cities are responding by opening cooling centers late into the night and offering free museum admission to keep people cool. Roads are buckling, and some, like a 72-year-old window washer, are starting their day at dawn to dodge the worst heat. Meanwhile, firefighters battled a school blaze in Milwaukee under brutal conditions, while in Detroit, a 64-year-old man gave away an air conditioner for free on Facebook to someone in need — a powerful mix of struggle and compassion. Stay hydrated, stay cool, and look out for each other as this dangerous heat sweeps across the country.
