It's getting really....REALLY HOT! You might wanna stay hydrated.

From the early morning hours of yesterday (Thursday, July 19, 2019), The National Weather Service has issued an Excessive Heat Watch and Excessive Heat Warning across several states meaning over two hundred million Americans will be dealing with EXTREME HEAT!

States include: Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Mane, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Vermont, South Dakota, Ohio, West Virginia and Maryland (if there's a state did I missed, please let me know).

Though, I posted it there to imagine what Washington,
D.C is like during a heat wave.

Washington, D.C. is not really a state but it's also included in this swarm of these EXTREME HEAT temperatures with temperatures like 108 degrees. Let me repeat that temperature in all capital letters and with an exclamation point: ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHT DEGREES! That's a life-threatening temperature.
Though it's not just Washington, D.C. is getting this temperature; New York City, Chicago, and Detroit are also getting the hottest temperatures the same level as Washington, D.C.. In fact, The National's Capital isn't the hottest city of the pack; according to sources, Richmond, Virginia is THE HOTTEST with 111 degrees. Let me repeat that number and the last word in all caps: ONE HUNDRED ELEVEN DEGREES!

Even Canada is feeling the heat. Most Canadians are feeling temperatures ranging in the mid-40s. You might think that's a low temperature but actually Canada's weather system is different from America; when you feeling a temperature like 40C in Canada it really means that you really feeling like 104 degrees (104F). Like I did with the Richmond and Washington temperatures, let me repeat the last sentence with the last two parts of that last sentence in all CAPS: Canadians are feeling in the mid-40s meaning that they're feeling ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR DEGREE TEMPERATURES.

The Blog from Planet Neptune has some advice for your health:

1. Drink plenty out of water
2. Stay out of the sun as possible
3. Go to a cooling center near you if your air condition isn't working or your use of your A/C has been restrict for the time being.

STAY COOL AND STAY HYDRATED!
