Many big cities from Washington, D.C., to Boston are under a heat advisory, while an excessive heat warning is in effect for the New York City metro area, where the temperature will feel over 100 degrees with the humidity combined.

Finally, parts of the Southwest are also getting some rain with cloud cover as the monsoon season kicks in, and that’s helping bring down the temperatures for this region.
