Dozens of hospital, while the hot weather strikes North America

Dozens of people were transferred to the hospital due to heat -related diseases, as the first main heat wave in the summer in eastern North America descends.

More than 150 people were injured at a graduation ceremony in the outdoor schools in Patterson, New Jersey on Monday, according to the American media, where the city’s mayor announced the state of emergency.

In Washington, DC, six people needed a hospital treatment during a concert conducted by the South Korean “Stray Kids”, according to CBS News, the American PBC.

Heat warnings are valid from the American Middle West to the East Coast, as well as in parts of Ontario, Cubic and Nova Scotia in Canada, affecting more than 160 million people during the week.

To the south along the American eastern coast, dozens of North Carolina sought to treat heat -related injuries.

Local media reported that at least 41 people – including children – were transferred to the hospital in the center of North Carolina.

The local authorities in New Jersey have described diseases in a pair of graduation ceremony as a “collective victim” incident due to the number of patients. This led to the abolition of some graduation ceremonies in the area.

Patterson André Seg mayor announced the state of heat, canceled all recreational activities in the region and opened the refrigeration centers.

Experts warn that high temperatures in parts of North America can exacerbate the risk of heat -related disease, especially due to high humidity levels.

The doubling of the danger is the extended period of the event, with a little night relief – temperatures in some eastern cities may remain above 80f (27c) overnight.

Heatwave’s wave arrives less than a week after the official summer start. The predictors say that several places may face record levels.

The mid -Atlantic area is expected to face the most dense conditions by Thursday, followed by the eastern Ohio Valley until Friday. Several consecutive days of repressive heat in these areas can significantly increase health risks.

The US National Weather Service (NWS) warned people against “taking action when you see symptoms of heat exhaustion and stroke.”

People are advised to stay away from the sun during the most important times of the day, drink a lot of water, and check the weak individuals, including the elderly and those who suffer from previously present health conditions.

Although severe heat attacks affect many parts of North America every summer, this heat wave can exceed June records in places.

In New York, the highlands on Tuesday reach 101F (38 ° C) that would equal the highest June temperature that was ever registered in the city, which dates back to 1966.

Energy companies on the eastern coast appealed to customers to maintain energy, due to fears of power outages, as millions of air conditioning units increase.
