A June heat wave for the record booksis set to send temperatures soaring from the Midwest to the mid-Atlantic and Northeast beginning Sunday. It'll continue into the coming weeks, Axios' Andrew Freedman writes.

  • Why it matters: This is the first heat wave of the summer for millions of Americans, and its extended duration heightens the public health threat.
?? Threat level: By next Friday, more than 260 million people in the U.S. are forecast to see air temperatures reach or exceed 90°F, with many experiencing heat indices at or above 100°F.

  • Affected big cities include Chicago, Washington, D.C., New York City, and Boston.
  • Even northern Maine is likely to see temperatures soar into the upper 90s.
