Heat Dome to Hit US: A dangerous heat wave propelled by a massive heat dome will blanket much of the central and eastern United States this week, exposing up to two‑thirds of the population to extreme temperatures and prompting health warnings and cooling advice through the Fourth of July.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/weather/2026/06/29/record-smashing-heat-wave/90737724007/
What is a Heat Dome?: Oppressive high-pressure atmospheric systems that cause warm air to be pushed to the surface and retained there for long periods of time. The dome traps high-pressure air in one place, like the lid on a pot. These large zones of hot air result in a combination of blistering temperatures, devastating wildfires, and drought conditions.
