Þjóðhátíðardagur í hitabylgju

Today marks Independence Day in the United States, celebrating the country's 250th anniversary. However, a heatwave has disrupted event schedules, leading to postponements of several activities. The heatwave affects approximately 160 million Americans, with temperatures reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius in Washington, causing the cancellation of parades. Despite this, some events such as a fly-over demonstration in the evening are still proceeding. People have been advised not to attend events until the temperature drops later in the day.
