A dangerous heatwave reached the Midwest on Friday as it makes its way east, promising a long stretch of sweltering temperatures leading up to the Fourth of July next week.
The ‘heat dome’ is expected to cover much of the US over the weekend and into next week, spanning from Arizona to Maine.
Denver reached 105 degrees on Thursday, marking an all-time high that has only occurred once in 2012.
Up to 18 states have already issued heat advisories, according to the National Weather Service.
From Texas to Wisconsin, states are reporting heat index values of over 100 degrees. Cities such as Des Moines, Chicago and St. Louis will even see 110degrees heat index values.
The heat will be so ghastly in New York City that residents could expect an increase in the number of cockroaches that make their way inside apartments.
The heat wave is a result of surges in heat and humidity combining with light winds, according to Accuweather.
Forecasts indicate that the wave will reach its peak over the weekend and into the beginning of next week.
Officials have warned that the hot and human weather is expected to persist during and after the Fourth of July holiday on Wednesday.
Those who plan to spend time outdoors are advised to stay hydrated and limit intake of alcoholic beverages, regardless of their health and physical activity.
The Weather Channel added that strong upper-level ridges of high pressures – or ‘heat domes’ – contribute to the hot temperatures.
Cooling stations have been requested for urban cities like St. Louis, Chicago and Detroit, AccuWeather stated.
Sleeping will be extremely difficult without air conditioning as heat from the pavement will be ruthless, USA Today reports.
