More than 126 million were under excessive heat warnings and another 31 million were under heat advisories early Saturday, according to the National Weather Service.

ComEd, which serves Chicago, also said it was prepared to send out cooling buses and offer free water and charging stations should there be prolonged outages. More than 126 million were under excessive heat warnings and another 31 million were under heat advisories early Saturday,Relief will come for some by Sunday, but much of the East Coast will have to sweat through weekend, forecasters say.
Relief can't come soon enough for some New Yorkers. In New York City, a network communication issue delayed many subway lines Friday, which exacerbated the scorching conditions.Passengers were left waiting on crowded and hot platforms. After about an hour-and-a-half, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority said that the system was back and running,"It's ridiculous,” fumed one passenger to the station. “It’s 100 degrees out here. It’s hot, and it’s hot in the train station.
The city has declared a heat emergency, and many outdoor activities — including Sunday's New York City Triathlon and Saturday's Coney Island Music Festival —were called off because of the heat.
