The US is currently under a severe heat dome, resulting in unusually high temperatures, particularly in the Midwest and Northeast, where they may reach 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Health experts warn that exposure to such extreme temperatures can lead to critical health complications, including heat stroke within a short duration. Alongside temperature concerns, the ultraviolet index reveals the intensity of harmful UV radiation, indicating a growing risk for sunburn and advising precautionary measures for outdoor activities. As the summer progresses, all regions, including Alaska, are expected to face these extreme conditions, ensuring that sunlight exposure remains a significant health consideration.
The current heat dome affecting the Midwest and Northeast is causing temperatures to soar to 100 degrees Fahrenheit, leading to potential life-threatening health issues.
