DoomsdaysCW<p>Heat wave to push temps near 100 F across central, eastern US</p><p>A surging heat wave will be a shock for millions in the central and eastern United States with the highest temperatures since last summer and perhaps several years in terms of longevity and factoring in humidity.</p><p>By Alex Sosnowski<br>Published Jun 17, 2025 </p><p>" A large bubble of heat will drift slowly across the United States into next week, shifting out of the West and into the Central States and finally the East. The heat wave will bring the highest temperatures of the year so far, with some areas possibly reaching triple digits, AccuWeather meteorologists warn.</p><p>"With limited days of warmth over much of the northern Plains, Midwest and Northeast so far this year, the surging heat could catch people off guard as it will be accompanied by some of the most intense sunshine of the year along with high humidity levels.</p><p>"Because of the high humidity and intense heating during the day, many urban areas will fail to cool down much at night, with temperatures only dipping into the 70s for a brief time. This will make rest and recovery from the heat difficult for those who do not have air conditioning, AccuWeather meteorologist Danielle Ehresman said.

As of Nov. 1, NOAA had tallied a total of 24 weather disasters that each caused at least $1 billion in damage. Of those events, six were tornado outbreaks, including a cluster of storms over three days in July that produced more than 79 tornadoes across Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and New York.
