Heat wave is expected to bring high temperatures to parts of the South and Midwest

• A new “heat dome” is forecast to bring triple-digit temperatures to over 100 million Americans in the coming days.
• The severe heat will primarily affect the Midwest and Southern US, including parts of Nebraska, Missouri, Texas, and Louisiana, with daytime temperatures expected to exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
• This weather phenomenon, caused by a high-pressure area trapping warm air, is anticipated to persist through the end of July.
• The current heatwave follows similar extreme conditions experienced on the East Coast last month, where cities like New York and Boston recorded triple-digit temperatures.
• The intense heat is expected to hinder manual labor jobs and impact athletic training, while the Northeast will experience a temporary respite.
