## Resource

A brutal heat dome is baking tens of millions across the central and southern U.S., with heat index temps soaring past 105°F and some spots in the Southwest hitting 120°F. Forecasters say this stubborn dome won’t break for the entire week, putting kids, seniors, and those with health issues at serious risk. Stay cool, hydrate, and avoid the sun—any relief on the horizon? Maybe a slight cooldown in the central U.S. by next week, but don’t count on it. This heat is just the latest layer on a year already tied for the second hottest on record. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
