Summary
A brutal heat wave is gripping much of the U.S., with triple-digit temps forecasted across the Southwest and Great Plains — and it’s far from over. A stubborn high-pressure system could lock in this oppressive heat for days or even a week, affecting up to two-thirds of the country. Nighttime lows are soaring 15–25 degrees above normal, leaving no chance to cool down — and over 90 local records, including overnight highs, could fall by Wednesday. Places like the Dakotas are facing a heat system this strong for the first time in 25 years, while even heat-hardened states like Nevada are buckling under record-breaking temperatures. Experts urge hydration and shelter from the sun, while scientists warn this extreme heat is fueled by climate change — and compounded by an emerging, record-strength El Niño that’s altering global weather patterns and pushing temperatures even higher.
