STORYLINE:
A relentless heat wave continues to bake most of the United States, with numerous areas expected to see record-breaking temperatures.
Forecasters were also warning there would likely be little relief through the weekend for most areas.
The steamiest conditions on Friday were expected in parts of Ohio and Indiana, where heat indexes were expected to soar past 100 degrees Fahrenheit and remain there most of the day.
It was too hot for some people for kayaking, at least during peak temperatures. Chad Brennan, who operates Sunrise Kayaking just outside Columbus, Ohio, limited groups to morning and evening trips even though it meant turning away customers.
“If you’re doing anything physical like paddling a kayak, just even anything remotely strenuous on days like this, it’s pretty exhausting,” he said Friday.
But the Midwest was not the only area being baked, as heat and excessive heat warnings and advisories has been issued across the northeast, the mid-Atlantic and in some western states.
Millions of residents across the country have had their lives disrupted by the heat’s intensity.
