Brace yourselves! A massive heat wave is sweeping across the U.S., putting about 130 million people under threat this weekend and into next week. 🌞
From the Pacific Northwest to the Northeast, temperatures are expected to soar above 38°C (100°F), breaking records and making it feel like you're walking inside an oven! 🔥
\"Oppressive heat and humidity are teaming up to create dangerously high temperatures,\" said Jacob Asherman, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. 🥵
In Oregon, cities like Eugene, Portland, and Salem are bracing for potential record-breaking heat. And it's not just there; dozens of other records throughout the U.S. could fall like dominoes. 🧊
Many are seeking relief in cooling centers from Bullhead City, Arizona, all the way to Norfolk, Virginia. If you're in these areas, make sure to stay hydrated and check on your friends and family! 💧
The National Weather Service has extended the excessive heat warning for much of the Southwest into Friday. So, it's time to dust off those fans and find the nearest pool! 🏖️
Stay cool out there, amigos! And don't forget to wear sunscreen! 😎
