Thermal dome intensifies in the east
The heat wave is powered by the persistent high -pressure high -pressure system, commonly referred to as thermal dome, anchored over the Eastern USA. NWS warns that this dome is pushing heat indexes between 100 ° F and 105 ° F, with some areas in the lower Mississippi valley reaching 110 ° F or higher. Extreme thermal warnings were released in these areas, including parts of Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana.
“The daily heat recovery is almost impossible, especially for those who do not have air conditioning,” said Alex Dasilva Newsweek meteorologist, stressing an increased risk of dehydration and heat -related diseases.
