4 days ago
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — It's another hot day across the eastern U.S. a day after several spots broke daily heat records. While students elsewhere sweated it out in unairconditioned classrooms, the Philadelphia school district shifted to remote learning Wednesday for students in 57 schools. The National Weather Service said another day of record heat was expected from the mid-Atlantic to New England before a cold front brings rain later in the week. A heat advisory was in effect for portions of Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island through Wednesday evening, with high temperatures and humidity making it feel like up to 96 degrees Fahrenheit.
