## Resource

Record-breaking heat is turning the East Coast into a sauna, with temps hitting 90s and climbing into 100s — especially in Boston and Philly — as the Fourth of July weekend looms. Cities are scrambling to keep people safe: Boston’s delaying fireworks, Philly’s cutting its parade short, and smaller towns are rescheduling events. Even historic sites like Gettysburg are moving outdoors indoors, and Amtrak’s canceling routes due to overheated tracks. A “heat dome” is to blame, prompting cooling centers, free museum access, and extended pools — while New York’s mayor urges folks to crank up thermostats to save power, sparking online backlash. Grids are bracing for a massive energy spike but are confident they’ve got the capacity to avoid blackouts as Americans try to stay cool and celebrate.
