REUTERS/David SwansonJuly 21 - A unrelenting heat wave on Thursday was expected to scorch the U.S. East Coast and South for the third day as dangerously high temperatures had forecasters warning about the dangers of dehydration and exposure.
The U.S. heat wave follows conditions in Europe this week that have touched off wildfires and set record temperatures in the kind of weather event that scientists say will become more frequent with climate change.The NWS and local officials urged people to stay indoors, avoid strenuous activities and stay hydrated.
The heat was expect to stifle the East Coast through the weekend as daily highs were forecast to remain in the 100s across the region, the NWS said. The continued heat wave also was to stretch from Eastern Texas through Louisiana and Arkansas and into Central Alabama, where the temperature could soar above 110 degrees on Thursday afternoon, the NWS said.
