Heatwave prompts alerts for millions in US
A severe heatwave continues to sweep large parts of the United States, with temperatures surpassing 100°F (38°C) in areas from Minnesota to Mississippi, and reaching as high as 120°F (49°C) in the Southwest. These conditions pose serious health risks, especially for children and the elderly. The phenomenon, known as a heat dome, traps hot air and prolongs periods of high temperatures, leading to record-breaking numbers such as 112°F in Rapid City and the cancellation of events like horse races in Minnesota. Weather forecasts predict that the high temperatures will persist amid risks of thunderstorms and flooding, with warnings about health complications and the importance of following protective measures. This escalation in both the frequency and severity of heatwaves is attributed to climate change.
