Officials Raise Health Concerns as Heatwave Intensifies Over Central, Eastern
US

VOANews

   The National Weather Service warned that dangerously high temperatures
   and humidity in the United States over the weekend could quickly cause
   heat stress or heat stroke, if precautions are not taken. The NWS
   advises people to check in on relatives and friends, especially the
   elderly.

   Temperatures have been rising in cities from the Midwest to the East
   Coast because of a high pressure system that has trapped the warm air.
   City officials are allowing public pools to stay open longer and
   municipalities are issuing advisories to inform the public about how
   best to deal with the heat.

   Forecasters say temperatures in New York City will reach 33 degrees
   Celsius Saturday, but with the humidity, it will feel like 43 degrees
   Celsius.
