Washington's 250th Independence Day parade called off over heatwave
The major 250th Independence Day Parade in Washington, DC, originally set for 10:30 am, has been scrapped following an extreme heat alert. According to organizers, the choice was made to protect the well-being of the crowd, staff, and participants, as temperatures in the District of Columbia were expected to hit a heat index between 110°F and 115°F. There is currently no word on a rescheduled date.
