An early season heat wave is expected to bring summer-like temperatures to the Eastern United States this week, potentially breaking records and impacting millions. According to reports, temperatures are expected to soar into the 90s°F (32°C) across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions, while the Midwest and New England areas will experience temperatures around 80°F (27°C). This surge is predicted to exceed average June temperatures for approximately 160 million people, with forecasts indicating that nearly 600 locations from the Plains to the Northeast could tie, near, or break existing high-temperature records. This heat wave follows the warmest March on record for the U.S., a trend attributed to climate change.
