In the United States, heat advisories and excessive heat warnings are issued each day the temperature or heat index is forecast to rise above a specified value (which depends on the part of the country), or even when it is forecast to not dip below a level (such as 75 or 80) that will provide a sufficient level of relief at night. There is nothing specific to an entire heat wave, but this covers it sufficiently well.
