(The Guardian) Nearly 40m people warned over dangerous heat wave in US south
Nearly 40 million people could be affected by a dangerous heatwave over a wide swath of the south central part of the United States, the National Weather Service has warned.
The agency has urged people from Texas to Florida to limit time outdoors over the long Juneteenth weekend, and issued excessive heat warnings and advisories in southern and eastern Texas, Louisiana and along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico through the holiday weekend.
Record-high temperatures are possible over the next few days in Houston, San Antonio, Dallas and Louisiana. Temperatures could reach well into the triple digits in these over the weekend, the agency told the Guardian. - If you factor in the humidity, it’s going to feel as hot as 120 degrees in some places.
