The national weather service said that almost 75 million Americans in the east and south were under heat advice on July 17, as the intensive summer weather experienced a large part of the nation.

New York City was under a heat resistance for a second day in a row, and the residents were asked to find 311 for the help to find cooling centers and to receive “Beat the Heat” security tips.

The national weather service warned that seniors and people with chronic health problems or mental illnesses were exposed to increased risk. According to a study published last year in the American Medical Association Journal Jama, the planet is increasing in the USA. In the study in which the data has reported on the federal duration since 1999, more than 2,000 deaths in connection with heat -resistant deaths have been reported annually.

“We're not ready with this heat yet!” The Mayor of New York, Eric Adams, said in a social media contribution. “Make sure that you hydrate, use one of our cooling centers and check your pets and vulnerable neighbors. Together we can all hit the heat!”

Sturm tracker: Prognostics warn of the rainy tropical system along the golf coast

A dangerous weather system that hovers over the north grill will probably not develop into a tropical depression, but could still generate fall floods in the region, the National Hurricane Center said in a forecast on July 17.

Prognostics had previously warned that the system could get stronger than the Louisiana coast approached, and New Orleans could soon be in the crosshair of the storm. Mayor Latoya Cantrell ordered that the city buildings were closed to the public on July 17, 2025, although the city's services are still available.

However, the latest wind data as well as the observations of surface and rays indicate that the swath of low pressure “remains quite disorganized”, wrote the senior hurricane specialist Philippe Papin.

“While an additional development of this system is still possible in the next 12 to 24 hours, the current structure suggests developing into a tropical depression before reaching the Louisiana coast today,” Papin wrote.

One person was killed and 14 injured – including children – in a lightning strike in an archery in New Jersey on July 16, said the authorities in Jackson. The lightning strike killed a 61-year-old trainer, said city officials.

“Eight of the victims were young people,” said Jackson Mayor Michael Reina. “It looks like the victims were with (scouting America) or scouts. Unfortunately, each of the 14 were taken to the hospital.”

According to Joseph Candido, Director of Jackson Public Safety, the strike occurred within the reach of Black Knight Bowbenders for the area, shortly before a serious thunderstorm was exhibited for the area. The club organized a competition for the scouts, said Candido.

In St. Charles Parish, 20 miles west of New Orleans, Mayor Matthew Jewell said that the emergency provision staff had carefully monitored the storm. He warned the residents that 3-5 inch rain could be expected by July 19, and in some areas there is potential for up to 10 inches. Sand for sand bags was provided in several places. It was instructed by the residents to bring their own shovels and their place of residence.

Amanda Babbin, one of the first in line, has already flooded in her community at home.

“This heavy rain, my garden, flooded two weeks ago,” Babbin told wwltv.com. “The water came into the back half of my house, in my garage and everything in the back half of my house.”

In the municipality of Plaucke, 60 miles south of New Orleans, Joanne McClelland in Breaux Mart was up to date. McClelland, who said she was also bought for her mother in her 90s, told WDSU.com that she lived numerous storms, including hurricane Katrina. This storm of category 5 was based on a path of destruction in 2005, on which more than 1,300 people were killed, and was held responsible for damage of more than 100 billion US dollars.

“Hopefully it won't be bad,” said McClelland about the storms this week. “But as soon as it goes into the Golf, warm water, you can't take any risk.”

Papin also said that the region's storm would bring strong rainfall, regardless of how well it is organized, and a flood guard was in force for the region until Friday evening.

The National Weather Service in New Orleans said that several rounds with strong rainfalls were forecast at least Friday evening. Up to 2 inches and some isolated higher quantities had already fallen in early July, and another 2 to 4 inches were forecast. Locally higher amounts of up to 8 inches were possible. The precipitation rates of more than 2 to 4 inches per hour are probably with a few storms.

Some thunderstorm clusters over warm sea waters develop well -defined centers and thus become tropical cyclones. Tropical depression is a tropical cylcon with maximum persistent surface winds of average of less than 39 miles per hour.

Tropical depression becomes a mentioned tropical storm when persistent wind speeds reach 39 miles per hour. When winds reach 74 miles per hour, the storm officially becomes a hurricane.
