A blistering heat wave grips the central and southern U.S., with temperatures soaring past 105°F and some areas in the Southwest hitting 120°F — all trapped under a punishing heat dome that’s showing no signs of breaking. Experts warn this extreme heat will linger through the week, posing serious risks for vulnerable populations, urging everyone to seek air conditioning, stay hydrated, and avoid the sun. Even a potential reprieve next week may be fleeting, as the first half of 2024 already ranks as the second hottest on record for the continental U.S. — a chilling reminder of our rapidly warming climate.
