(NEW YORK) — The record heat that baked the West Coast for much of last week is arriving on the East Coast early this week and health departments are already preparing for heat-related emergencies.<\/p>\n

More than 100 million people in 33 states were under heat alerts Monday morning.<\/p>\n

In Philadelphia, where the heat index — what the temperature feels like with humidity — is forecast to reach 104 degrees on Monday, the city health department has issued a heat health emergency.<\/p>\n

“We’ll have over 150 cooling centers open for our residents who need them,” Mayor Cherelle Parker said in a statement. “Please call 311 to find a cooling center near you. Check on your older neighbors. Make sure they’re safe. If we care for one another, we’ll get through this heat wave together.”<\/p>\n

In addition to Philadelphia, major cities such as Washington, D.C., and Baltimore are under an excessive heat warning — the highest such alert for heat — on Monday.<\/p>\n

New York City and Boston are under a heat advisory through Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Record daily highs are possible in several cities Monday, including Raleigh, North Carolina (projected 101, record 99); Washington, D.C. (projected 100, record 100); Baltimore (projected 101, record 102); Reading, Pennsylvania (projected 100, record 100); Worcester, Massachusetts (projected 91, record 92); and Manchester, New Hampshire (projected 96, record 96).<\/p>\n

The record heat will concentrate on the East Coast on Tuesday and could last into Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Finally, a cold front will bring an end to the record heat in the East by Wednesday night into Thursday.<\/p>\n
