A severe heatwave is affecting large portions of the central and eastern United States, with over 150 million people under heat alerts stretching from Kansas to Maine. The persistent heat dome has led to dangerously high temperatures, increasing health risks and placing significant pressure on power grids and emergency services. Meanwhile, the Western U.S. faces worsening wildfire conditions, with nearly 40 large fires active across nine states. Dry vegetation and strong winds have contributed to rapid fire spread, threatening communities and prompting evacuations in several regions.
