Extreme heatwave is sweeping across most of the U.S. from Ohio to Washington D.C., with temperatures reaching up to 100-110 degrees, including high humidity. This heat will be especially dangerous for people with respiratory issues and the elderly, with potential health impacts. Heat exhaustion, heat rash, and heat stroke are common heat-related illnesses, and people should prepare and limit time outdoors during the July 4 weekend and beyond.
