Summary
A deadly heat dome is baking the western U.S., with cities like Las Vegas, Phoenix, and even Montana hitting record-breaking temperatures near 47°C — and no relief at night, as lows stay in the 20s to 30s. With humidity dropping into single digits and wildfires looming, officials urge everyone to stay indoors and hydrate. Scientists link this extreme weather to climate change fueled by fossil fuels, while El Niño amplifies the crisis. Though this wave may be short-lived, it’s a chilling preview of what’s to come.
