Extreme heat spreads in central US
Dangerous heat waves are expanding across much of the central United States, with temperatures exceeding 100°F from Dallas to North Dakota and around 70 million people under heat advisories. A heat dome is trapping heat, causing sustained high temperatures and high humidity, with overnight lows not providing relief, leading to increased heat stress. Temperatures are forecasted to remain extremely high through the week, especially in Texas and the Gulf Coast, while some regions like the Northeast and Pacific Northwest will be spared. Experts link the intensification of such heat events to climate change, which is making extreme and prolonged heat waves more frequent.
