The Fourth of July parade in Washington has been canceled due to extreme heat.

The Independence Day parade in Washington, D.C., was canceled due to extreme heat conditions, which have caused significant challenges for outdoor events. The National Park Service, along with local authorities and the Trump administration, made the decision after receiving warnings from the National Weather Service about dangerously high temperatures. Temperatures were expected to reach up to 39°C, with humidity making the feel like between 43 and 46°C. This cancellation followed similar issues at the Great American State Fair, where 44 visitors experienced health problems linked to the heat, leading to hospitalizations. Organizers urged attendees to take precautions, including staying hydrated and avoiding direct sunlight. Despite the heat, President Donald Trump was still scheduled to speak at the event later in the day.
