Extreme Heat Threatens US July 4th Holiday Celebrations

Central and eastern US regions are experiencing record-breaking extreme heat. Many July 4th holiday celebrations have been cancelled due to the dangerous conditions.

The central and eastern United States are experiencing record-breaking extreme heat. During July 3-4, temperatures in most regions will exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Many communities have cancelled or postponed their July 4th holiday celebrations. The National Mall in Washington has added extra security measures and health resources. Portions of the Potomac River have been closed to prevent boat passage. The National Weather Service urges the public to stay hydrated and avoid prolonged outdoor activities during this extreme heat period.
