Summary
A brutal heat dome is gripping the U.S., with triple-digit temps scorching the Southwest and Great Plains—and it’s not going anywhere soon. Over two-thirds of the country is in the crosshairs, where daytime heat is brutal and nights won’t cool below 80°F, leaving bodies with no chance to recover. Cities from Florida to Texas are breaking records—especially overnight ones—with some areas like North Dakota facing temperatures over 100°F for days. Experts warn this is one of the strongest heat domes in the Dakotas in 25 years, fueled by climate change and amplified by a developing El Niño. Fire risk is rising in dry regions, and staying hydrated and finding shade is critical—this isn’t just uncomfortable, it’s dangerous.
