An intensifying heat wave descended on the eastern United States, prompting warnings about the dangers presented by the sweltering heat and humidity in the final days of a record-smashing July around the world
temperatures and heat index values across the United States were forecast to soar above 100 degrees Fahrenheit until at least Saturday, the National Weather Service said.
Biden instructed the Department of Labor to ramp up enforcement of on-the-job heat hazards, for example by increasing inspections at construction and agriculture sites, and to issue Hazard Alerts that inform employers of their responsibilities and employees of their rights during extreme heat. While the mayor visited the White House, city officials and non-profit partners back in Phoenix unveiled air-conditioned, solar-powered homes converted from shipping containers on Thursday that they hope can provide relief for the homeless.
Meanwhile, officials in other big cities such as New York, Washington and Philadelphia urged people to avoid working or playing outside, to drink plenty of fluids and to check on loved ones and neighbors.
