Half of the United States is like a "steamer". 13 people died from the heat. Most of the people in the United States feel like they are in a steamer.

(Associated Press) The central United States (mainly the plains and the northern parts of the Midwest) was hit by a dangerous heat wave over the weekend, which was like being in a steamer. Now this heat wave is moving eastward. The National Weather Service said on the 18th that in the next week, "half of the United States" covering most of the eastern United States will be shrouded in a heat wave, suffering "suffering" from high temperatures above 100 degrees Fahrenheit and high humidity, posing dangers to people. The National Weather Service has issued heat warnings for 18 states, and two heat wave-related deaths have been confirmed in Missouri, and nine people may have died from heat in the Kansas City area. The number of heat-related deaths in the Midwest may have reached 13. Bill Deger, a weather forecaster at the AccuWeather weather website, said that large cities in the "corridor" along Interstate 95 in the east are expected to experience the highest temperatures so far this summer this week. Temperatures in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington may reach 100 degrees, and it will feel even hotter. The heat wave will not subside in the short term, and the abnormally high temperatures are expected to continue for another week or two. More than 40 states will see temperatures in the 90s this week. The National Weather Service said the culprit was high pressure over a wide area, which blanketed much of the central and eastern regions with hot and humid air. The high temperatures have made it sweltering for residents in the Plains and the upper Midwest, but further south in Oklahoma, the situation is even worse. The temperature in Oklahoma City has reached triple digits for 28 days in a row. The heat has caused bumps on the road, damaged vehicles, and forced the closure of two lanes of an important interstate highway. Poultry farmers are busy protecting their birds, placing fans or watering their roofs to combat the heat. The eastern state of New Jersey in the United States already felt the heat wave on the 18th. The temperature in Newark reached 97 degrees in the afternoon, and the temperature in North Arlington reached 103 degrees at 1:30 p.m. Temperatures have been above 90 degrees in many places for three consecutive days.
