(Bloomberg) – More than 132 million people across the middle and Eastern US face blisters to start a week, with increasing humidity, which makes them feel even worse and burden the energy grid because air conditioning and fans get exercises.
According to the National Meteorological Service, thermal counseling or excessive warnings were issued to Heats from Nebraska to Massachusetts and Northern Dakota to Florida, covering all or part of 29 countries and more than 38% of the American population. The conditions of reduction will culminate today and Monday before the gradual release. The American southeast will be the last to get some relief, later in the week or the next.
“It’s unfortunate, but the end is close,” said Brian Hurley, a preliminary branch at the US prediction center. “A few days, maybe more than a few days if you are in the southeast.”
Heat threatens human life and also emphasizes electrical networks and transport networks. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency from 1979 to 2022, more than 14,000 Americans died of causes related to heat related to heat.
The wide area of the US faces Sunday’s slight thermal risk, with up to 88.4 million people below a high threat and 10.8 million lasting extreme conditions, mainly along the east coast of Washington to Florida, said the meteorological service.
High temperatures, impaired with humidity, created fragmentation of records, especially in the southeast. Charlotte, North Carolina, hit Saturday 101F (38 ° C). In the coming days, sixty other records may be violated or tied up.
In New York, temperatures are likely to culminate on Tuesday at 94F, but with humidity may feel closer to 105 ° C, the meteorological service said. In Washington, it is predicted that reading will reach 98F Tuesday and 99F on Wednesday.
The tools are preparing for continuing high demand. PJM Interconnection LLC, a grid operator, which moves electricity in 13 countries and the Columbia district, published on Sunday and Monday on Monday alerts of hot weather for its Central Atlantic and southern regions.
The heat begins to alleviate the front of the weather pushes south and leaves lower temperatures and milder humidity after its furrow, Hurley said. According to the US Climate Prediction Center in a week, a large part of the middle and Eastern US is likely to be cooler in a week than usual in early August.
In addition to heat, the ozone parts of Ozone in New York and New Jersey can make breathing more difficult for young people, seniors and people with respiratory or cardiac conditions, the meteorological service said. Further north, across the Poststate New York and New England, the smoke from Canadian forest fires also damages air quality. Much of this threat should start to reduce in the coming days, Hurley said.
