Record-breaking heat to stick around through weekend for Northeast

The oppressive hot weather and humidity that's been felt across much of the country this month will settle in for the weekend in the Northeast United States with millions still under extreme heat advisories and warnings. CBS News congressional correspondent Scott MacFarlane has more on precautions underway to protect people from the heat dome. And Doug Parker, an assistant secretary for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, joined CBS News to discuss the dangers of working in these temperatures.

[@iketinknocker5033]

WTF are these people talking about???? LMAO....😂😂😂😂😂 What's the record-breaking heat?? If this was over 100 degrees for the next 2 weeks, then okay, I could at least understand this better. But this state run media BS has to stop....

[@Spacemonkeymojo]

Did you not listen? The humidity is making temperatures feel like they're over 100c. Don't you know that if the air is humid that it feels a lot hotter?

[@iketinknocker5033]

@Spacemonkeymojo
And this is new???? Can you not see the blatant manipulation that is being attempted here? This is not record breaking, this is not a "heat dome" as the newest climate change buzz word of the day....This is manipulation at its finest. Pick up the farmers almanac if you need more evidence. This "heat wave" is nothing new whatsoever. This is being done to eventually add a carbon tax to every person in Western culture so they can steal more of our $$$$$.....Wake up, please.

It’s summer, it’s hot. 🥱

IT is a great job in this weather if you can pop down to the extremely conditioned server rooms.

If OSHA doesn’t get you, Nature will. If not, Lady Luck got your back.
