Almost 150 million people were under heat advisories and warnings Wednesday morning, as the extreme heat wave that has brought sweltering conditions to the eastern half of the country and smashed dozens of temperature records showed no sign of ending.

The National Weather Service said the conditions remain "extremely dangerous" as the Ohio Valley is set to feel the heat through Friday, with more daily and monthly record temperatures expected to be broken.

New York City, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Boston all hit 100 degrees Fahrenheit on Tuesday, as did parts of Maine. Dozens of heat records have been broken this week in the eastern half of the continental United States.

Tuesday was New York's hottest day since 2012, as voters lined up for the Democratic primary election. Wednesday will see another day in the upper-90s with overnight temperatures in the low-70s.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul warned in a statement Tuesday that the electricity grid downstate was approaching "peak capacity" as people cranked up their air conditioners.
