**Heatwave Grips North America, Affecting Millions Amidst Rising Temperatures**

**Record highs forecast as heat alerts blanket eastern regions, prompting health warnings**


**A significant heatwave envelops North America, with temperatures soaring and health advisories issued for millions.**

The first major heatwave of the summer has enveloped the eastern United States and parts of Canada, affecting over 160 million people with its sweltering temperatures and high humidity levels. Heat warnings are currently in effect across the Midwest to the East Coast, extending into regions like Ontario, Quebec, and Nova Scotia. Experts emphasize that these oppressive conditions increase the likelihood of heat-related illnesses, particularly during the night when temperatures are expected to remain above 80°F (27°C) in some cities.

This heatwave commenced shortly after the official onset of summer, with forecasts predicting potential record-breaking high temperatures. The Mid-Atlantic area is slated to experience the most severe conditions by Thursday, while the eastern Ohio Valley faces similarly intense heat into Friday. The continuous days of extreme heat significantly heighten health risks, placing vulnerable populations, including the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions, at higher danger.

The National Weather Service (NWS) warns residents to remain vigilant for signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Safety precautions encourage individuals to stay out of direct sunlight, remain hydrated, and check on those who may be more susceptible to the heat. Notably, New York City could see temperatures reach 101°F (38°C) Tuesday, potentially matching the city's highest recorded June temperature since 1966.

Energy companies along the East Coast are urging consumers to conserve electricity to minimize the risk of blackouts, as many struggle to stay cool by increasing their air conditioning usage amid the scorching heat.
