Half of the U.S. population was urged on Friday to take precautions when they are outdoors, either due to a relentless heat wave or poor air quality caused by Canadian wildfires ahead of the long Fourth of July weekend.

Some 80 million people living in California, the Deep South and the lower Mississippi Valley were under excessive heat warnings and heat advisories through the day and into the weekend, before Tuesday’s holiday, the National Weather Service said.Heat indexes – a measure that combines temperature and humidity – were expected to soar well past 100 degrees Fahrenheit in many parts of California and the two regions on Friday.

To the north, across the Midwest and East, another 100 million Americans faced another day of smoky skies and poor air quality alerts due to raging wildfires in Canada.
