Pet Warning Issued to Millions of Americans Across 29 States
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. Americans across 29 states have received heat-related warnings from the National Weather Service (NWS) as of early Monday, with the agency cautioning against leaving pets in cars amid "dangerously hot conditions" in some areas. Why It Matters The heat dome over the eastern U.S. originated in the Plains and Midwest, where temperatures in the 90s and above 100 degrees Fahrenheit have persisted since late last week, according to forecasters at AccuWeather. Authorities caution that spending prolonged periods outdoors without proper hydration or ways to stay cool may result in heat-related illnesses.

"Actions should be taken to lessen the impact of the extreme heat." The NWS warned of "dangerously hot conditions," adding that heat index levels—reflecting how hot it feels when humidity is included—were forecast to climb into the triple digits in these regions. "Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles," the agency said. "Car interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes," the NWS added. The service also advised drinking plenty of fluids, staying in an air-conditioned room, staying out of the sun, and checking on relatives and neighbors. Meanwhile, heat advisories, which the NWS issues "for dangerous heat conditions that are not expected to reach warning criteria," were also in place across parts of these states: Alabama Arkansas Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Mississippi South Carolina Tennessee Texas Wisconsin What People Are Saying The National Weather Service wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Friday: "Though record high temperatures are expected in the coming days, the duration of the heat as demonstrated by the numerous record warm morning lows will make this period especially oppressive. Couple this with the fact that this is the first major heat wave of the year—when our bodies aren't acclimated to the heat yet—will make for an especially dangerous period for many." AccuWeather meteorologist Adam Douty told Newsweek that temperatures would gradually lower toward the middle and end of the week, though he added that "highs will still remain above the historical average for many areas." NWS St. Louis, Missouri, wrote on X on Sunday: "After a hot weekend, there's not much relief in sight from the early summer heat. High temperatures will be in the 90s, with heat indices topping in the 100s each day with a chance of thunder by mid to late week." What Happens Next The NWS issues regular forecast updates on its website and social media channels.

Baltimore declares code red heat alert through Thursday, as Maryland sees near triple digit temps
A code red extreme heat alert has been declared for Baltimore City from Sunday, June 22, through Thursday, June 26, as Maryland is expected to see near triple digit heat and elevated humidity levels this week. What is a code red extreme heat alert? Code red extreme heat alerts are activated during periods of extreme heat. During this time, the city activates its cooling centers to help keep residents, particularly vulnerable adults, safe from heat illness. Cooling centers open in Baltimore City The city provides an interactive map of cooling centers online. A full list of the cooling centers is available here. How can you spot heat illness? According to the National Weather Service, symptoms such as dizziness, confusion, and fainting may indicate heat stroke. If someone appears to be suffering from heat stroke, it's critical to call 911 immediately. The agency advises removing excess clothing, loosening garments, and using water or ice to help cool the person down. Without proper treatment, heat stroke can cause permanent damage or even be fatal. Signs of heat exhaustion include dizziness, intense thirst, heavy sweating, nausea, and feeling weak. If you or someone else is showing these symptoms, move to a cooler place, loosen tight clothing, and slowly drink cool water. If the condition doesn't improve, seek medical help, as heat exhaustion can progress into heat stroke. Muscle cramps may also be an early warning sign of a heat-related illness. Tips for heat safety During extreme heat, the Baltimore City Health Department suggests staying well hydrated by drinking plenty of water while avoiding alcohol and caffeine. Limiting outdoor activities and spending time in air-conditioned spaces can help reduce the risk of heat-related illnesses. Residents are also urged never to leave children or pets unattended in closed vehicles, even for a short time, as temperatures inside can rise dangerously fast. Additionally, checking in on elderly or ill neighbors is encouraged, as they may need extra assistance coping with the heat.

Chicago weather: Saturday night's low of 78 breaks a record; Sunday night low could too
The multiday stretch of oppressive heat and humid conditions will continue into Monday, with at least one decades-old record broken over the weekend, experts said. Chicago's low temperature Saturday night was a stifling 78 degrees, breaking the June 21 record for minimum temperature. The low was 4 degrees higher than the previous record set in 1923, according to the National Weather Service. National Weather Service meteorologist Lee Carlaw said it was likely the June 22 record for minimum temperature would be toppled again Sunday night, with the temperature likely to drop just below 80, though the data will not be official until early Monday morning. The current record for that statistic for June 22 is 76, also recorded in 1923. 'If it doesn't dip below 76 prior to 1 a.m. Monday, then we will set a new record warm low based on the day,' Carlaw said. On Sunday, the weather service reported a high temperature of 94 at O'Hare International Airport and a heat index value, which is essentially how hot it actually feels, as high as 103. Sunday's wind gusts up to 35 mph were notably lower than those on Saturday, which contributed to dangerous water conditions and several water rescues — including at least one fatality — throughout the Chicago and surrounding areas. An extreme heat warning remained in effect across Cook County through Monday night, while heat advisories were issued for the surrounding collar counties. Monday may feel like the hottest day of the heat wave, with a high expected to reach 97 and 25 mph gusts, but experts say some relief is in sight as a potential for shower and thunderstorm conditions moves into the area late Monday and continues through the week. Human-made climate change is making Midwestern summers more humid overall, even as seasonal highs have rarely broken records in recent years. According to experts, sweltering summer nights, in particular, have become more common. In Chicago, overall summer average temperatures have warmed by 1.7 degrees between 1970 and 2024. Average lows on summer nights have increased by 2.5 degrees in that same time. Moist heat that persists over a long stretch can be particularly dangerous without access to air conditioning. In the last three years, the city has recorded 485 heat-related deaths and more than 700 heat-related emergency room visits in Chicago, according to public health officials. Public health data shows the 60620, 60623, 60628 and 60651 ZIP codes historically see more heat-related emergencies than other locations. Health and weather officials are urging people to stay indoors in air-conditioned rooms when possible and to stay hydrated. The sun's rays are usually most intense between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. 'The combination of warm air temperatures and building humidity has resulted in these heat index values where it feels like it's rising into the 100- to 110-degree range,' Carlaw said. 'If you have to be outside, make sure you take frequent breaks and cool down.'
