A massive, stubborn heat dome is blanketing the central U.S., pushing temperatures above 100°F from Texas to North Dakota and threatening 70 million people under heat advisories. Nights aren’t cooling enough, trapping heat and making conditions feel even more brutal with high humidity. Record highs are expected in places like Denver, with some areas seeing temperatures 10–15°F above normal. This extreme heat, stretching from the Southwest to the Gulf Coast and Midwest, is especially dangerous for the elderly, kids, and those with health issues—officials urge hydration, air conditioning, and sun avoidance. While the worst may shift slightly toward Texas by Wednesday, the heat is expected to remain stationary through the week, with only a slim chance of relief next weekend. Meanwhile, the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and Pacific Northwest stay relatively spared. Scientists confirm this is exactly the kind of extreme weather climate models predicted—more frequent, intense, and prolonged heat waves are now our new normal.
