Record Heat Grips East Coast

An unusual April heat wave is currently impacting over 130 million Americans as scorching temperatures move from the Plains to the Northeast.

Forecasters warn that the record-breaking heat could last through the weekend, potentially hitting 88 degrees in New York City—the hottest April 15 since 1941.

This extreme weather follows a series of severe storms and tornadoes that devastated parts of Kansas and Minnesota.

While residents are enjoying the temporary sunshine, experts note that such early spikes in temperature are becoming increasingly frequent due to shifting climate patterns.
