From the southern plains to the Northeast, Sunday's heat will feel “extremely oppressive,” the National Weather Service says.
“Stifling heat is also on tap from central Kansas and Oklahoma to the Middle Mississippi Valley, where a large swath of heat advisories and a few excessive heat warnings are in place,” said the NWS.
The latest weather warning came after multiple heat emergencies were declared earlier this week, including in Philadelphia, where air-conditioned cooling buses have been parked and public libraries have extended hours so residents can cool off from the heat. Boston and Washington enacted similar plans.
Alex Ruane, a researcher at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, told Reuters that as the world warms, “it takes less of a natural anomaly to push us into the extreme heat categories.”“Because we’re closer to those thresholds, it’s more likely that you’ll get more than one heat wave at the same time. We’re seeing this in the United States,” she said.
