Cities like Chicago and New York may see temperatures approaching or exceeding 100°F. Areas are experiencing their hottest days on record, with humidity levels causing heat indices to feel even hotter, potentially hitting 115°F in parts of the central US. Night-time lows provide little relief, increasing health risks, prompting officials to urge residents to take precautions against heat-related illnesses.
