Why Was Maine Sweltering?
Briefly

The shift of an expansive band of heat toward New England and the coast, along with descending westerly winds and high-pressure systems, led to soaring temperatures. Climate change's impact on greenhouse gas emissions contributes to the severity of heatwaves.
High-pressure aloft systems can create heat domes leading to sustained heat and little cloud cover. Climate change causing increased atmospheric temperatures and moisture holds exacerbates the severity of heatwaves.
