A relentless heat dome is currently affecting over 125 million people across the United States, with temperatures soaring 10 to 15 degrees above average for June. This extreme weather phenomenon, characterized by stagnant and oppressive heat, is likened to conditions typically found in the Bahamas. Cities from New York to Nashville are experiencing heat indices over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, leading to hospitalizations and emergency responses. As conditions linger, much of the eastern U.S. remains under an 'extreme' heat risk warning, driving temperatures dangerously high and exceeding seasonal norms.
You're talking about some places that could be 40 degrees warmer than last week. So that's a big deal.
In cities from the Ohio Valley to the Mid-Atlantic, Thursday will mark the seventh consecutive day of triple-digit "feels like" temperatures when you factor in the humidity, making it feel nearly 20 degrees hotter than the Caribbean.
