PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- You won't need a calendar to mark the start of summer in the northeastern U.S.
The National Weather Service forecast potentially record-breaking hot temperatures just as the season officially begins Wednesday, the summer solstice and longest day of the year.
Readings are expected to approach or top 100 degrees Wednesday and Thursday in cities including Philadelphia, New York and Boston. Health officials warned residents to drink water, stay out of the sun and in air conditioning, and to check on elderly neighbors and pets.
