A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Organizers canceled America’s Independence Day Parade in Washington, D.C., scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Saturday, after the National Weather Service issued an Extreme Heat Warning with heat index values expected at 110°F to 115°F. The heat wave also forced cancellations or delays of July 4 celebrations across the Midwest and East Coast, including closures or changes in Washington and Philadelphia. More than 842,000 homes were without power across multiple states, while a grid operator ordered emergency power curbs amid the strain.
