Millions of Americans Warned of 'Dangerous, Life-Threatening' Conditions
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. AccuWeather meteorologists are warning of "dangerous, life-threatening" conditions for millions of Americans as a heat wave is moving across large portions of the U.S. later this week, with temperatures expected to top 100 degrees Fahrenheit across several states. Millions of Americans are expected to face major or extreme heat risks in the coming days, with the National Weather Service projecting over 152 million affected on June 23. Why It Matters Extreme heat is the deadliest weather hazard in the United States, posing serious health risks nationwide. Over 200 people died of heat-related illnesses in the U.S. last year. Since 1979, more than 14,000 Americans have died from heat-related causes, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. A "heat dome" is moving through the U.S., later this week, with millions of Americans across a range of large cities to be impacted. Several extreme heat warnings and heat advisories have been issued across cities and states. The heat wave coincides with the longest days of the year, with Friday marking the summer solstice. What To Know "The highest temperatures so far this year will combine with increasing humidity and intense summer sunshine to create dangerous, life-threatening conditions for roughly 170 million people," AccuWeather meteorologists said about the upcoming heat wave. The NWS predicts that on June 21, 62.5 million will be under major or extreme heat risk, 141 million on June 22, 152 million on June 23, 144 million on June 24 and 105 million by June 25. The NWS Weather Prediction Center similarly warned that "extremely dangerous levels of heat" are likely over the Central and Eastern U.S. These levels "may exacerbate the heat health impacts, especially by midweek," a June 20 message from the center said.

The sun rises behind the skyline of midtown Manhattan and the Empire State Building in New York City, a day ahead of the summer solstice and an expected heatwave on June 19, 2025, as seen from Jersey City, New Jersey. More Photo byAreas of particular concern include the Ohio Valley, eastern Great Lakes, interior South and much of the East Coast, according to a warning from the NWS. In addition to record-high temperatures, those regions are expected to "lack overnight cooling," which will "significantly increase the danger." Heat index values—how the temperature feels to the body when humidity is factored in—were expected to reach triple digits in some areas that have Extreme Heat Warning issued by the NWS. Large U.S. cities have begun issuing warnings to residents ahead of the heat wave. In Annapolis, Maryland, officials posted an alert on the city's website and announced the activation of cooling centers "to provide temporary relief from extreme heat conditions and help prevent heat-related illnesses," as temperatures are expected to exceed 100 degrees and may reach 110. What People Are Saying AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter said: "Extreme heat is tragically the leading cause of weather-related fatalities in America. There is an amplified risk of heat-related illnesses because this is the first heat wave of the year for millions of people, and their bodies are not yet acclimated to this type of heat and humidity." Ben Noll, a meteorologist for The Washington Post, said on X, Wednesday: "A heat dome will form over central states on Friday before expanding and intensifying. Heat domes are large and strong heat-trapping lids of high atmospheric pressure. This one will last around a week, with numerous temperature records expected to fall." AccuWeather Chief On-Air Meteorologist Bernie Rayno said: "It will be exceptionally warm at night with little relief once the sun goes down. Many urban areas may struggle to drop below 80 at night, and that can take a toll on the body without air conditioning." Kevin J. Simmons, Director of the City of Annapolis Office of Emergency Management said in a Friday statement: "Heat waves like this one pose a serious risk, especially for our most vulnerable neighbors. We are asking all residents to take this heat seriously. Check on your neighbors, stay hydrated, limit outdoor activity, and know where to go if you need to cool down. Our goal is to keep everyone safe and informed throughout this dangerous weather event." National Weather Service wrote in an X, formerly Twitter, post on Wednesday: "Triple-digit heat indices will be common through next week, with oppressive humidity. Record-breaking heat will be dangerous to those working and playing outdoors so take precautions." What Happens Next The NWS warns, "This level of heat can be hazardous to anyone without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration, especially those engaging in lengthy outdoor activities."

Summer solstice 2025: 1st day of summer is here
Get ready for sun-soaked days and warmer weather, as the summer solstice 2025 is just around the corner. This year, the summer solstice falls on Friday, June 20. The astronomical event marks the official start of summer and the beginning of an extended period of daylight in the northern hemisphere as we transition out of the darker, colder months. The solstice occurs twice a year when one of Earth's poles reaches its maximum tilt toward the sun, according to NASA. The word "solstice" comes from the Latin solstitium, meaning "sun stands still," referring to the moment when the sun's apparent path pauses before reversing direction, according to Royal Museums Greenwich. Across the globe, cultures have long celebrated the summer solstice with unique traditions from watching the sunrise align with Stonehenge in England to dancing around maypoles in Sweden and lighting bonfires in Norway. Here's everything you need to know about the 2025 summer solstice. The 2025 summer solstice falls on Friday, June 20, at 10:42 p.m. ET, according to NASA and the Old Farmer's Almanac. This marks the longest day of the year in the northern hemisphere, when the Earth's tilt positions it closest to the Sun. June's full strawberry moon: See photos and what it means for your zodiac "The situation is reversed for the southern hemisphere, where it's the shortest day of the year," NASA states. The summer solstice occurs at the point in Earth's orbit when the sun shines most directly on the northern hemisphere, according to NASA. "Astronomers consider this the beginning of the Summer in the northern hemisphere," NASA states. While it marks the start of summer in the north, the event marks the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere, where sunlight is at its lowest angle. The longest day of the year in 2025 will occur on Friday, June 20, for those in the northern hemisphere. On this day, the sun reaches its highest point in the sky, resulting in the most daylight hours of the year. NASA notes this happens when "the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer," located at 23.5 degrees north latitude. Yes, astronomers recognize the summer solstice as the official first day of summer in the northern hemisphere, according to NASA. The National Centers for Environmental Information explains that solstices and equinoxes mark the start of the astronomical seasons. These events occur when the sun reaches its most extreme position relative to the equator, either directly overhead or crossing it. Meteorological seasons split the year into three-month groups based on temperature cycles and "are more closely tied to our monthly civil calendar than the astronomical seasons are," according to the agency. According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the summer solstice doesn't always occur on the same date. It can fall on June 20, 21, or 22, depending on the year. This is because the timing of the solstice isn't tied to a fixed calendar date. Instead, it's determined by the exact moment the sun reaches its northernmost point from the celestial equator during Earth's orbit. On the day of the summer solstice, the sun reaches its highest point in the sky at noon, and its position changes very little for several days before and after, according to the National Weather Service. This results in the longest day of the year and the shortest night. While the term "longest day" doesn't refer to the number of hours in the day, it does mean the day with the most sunlight.
