According to the National Weather Service (NWS) on July 2, a heat advisory is in effect for the Washington, D.C. area until July 4. On Independence Day, the heat index could exceed 104 degrees.
During a speech in North Dakota the day before, Trump stated, "The temperature on July 4 is expected to reach about 107 degrees, and I will give a very long speech to show that I can do anything." A temperature of 107 degrees Fahrenheit is approximately 41.7 degrees Celsius.
Trump is scheduled to deliver the keynote address at the "Salute to America" event on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on the evening of July 4. This large-scale event commemorating the 250th anniversary of the United States will feature military flyovers, performances, a parade, and fireworks.
Organizers plan to start the fireworks around 10:30 p.m. Trump has previously referred to this event as a "Trump rally" and has promoted it extensively.
The combination of extreme heat, a late-night schedule, and large crowds raises safety concerns for the event. Local authorities and organizers are advising attendees to use public transportation and arrive early.
