Heatwave grips US too, ‘excessive heat warning’ for some areas

A dangerous heatwave has gripped the United States, with some parts recording temperatures beyond 38°C.

Parts of southwestern, south-central and eastern United States have been particularly impacted, according to National Weather Service. The federal agency forecasts weather in the US. 

Widespread high temperatures, ranging from 32-38°C, will cover most of the country from July 21-22, said experts. 

“Above-normal temperatures will continue to prevail across much of the US through the end of the week, with a significant portion of the population remaining under heat-related advisories and warnings,” the National Weather Service stated.
