The National Weather Service in the United States announced, Sunday, that it has monitored a very high temperature for nearly a quarter of the country’s population, while the New England region, which has already been subjected to heavy rain, is preparing for more of it.
Warnings of sweltering heat were issued for vast areas, stretching from the Pacific Northwest to California, across the southwest and into the far south, known as the Deep South, to Florida.
Temperatures are expected to exceed 46 degrees Celsius in parts of the southern California desert, as well as in Arizona and Nevada.
The weather service said the scorching heat prompted authorities to issue warnings to more than 80 million people.
Meanwhile, the National Weather Service reported that storms that may be accompanied by heavy rain will sweep parts of New England and regions of the Mid-Atlantic region.
Areas at risk include major cities, such as New York, Boston and Philadelphia.
In Pennsylvania, the police said in a statement that at least 3 people were swept away by torrential rains, Saturday, in a town in the state, and rescue workers said, on Sunday, that they were looking for 3 or 4 other people in the area.
