Heat Dome Hits 70 Million | Global News

A massive heat dome is baking the central U.S., pushing temps above 100°F from Texas to North Dakota and exposing 70 million under heat advisories. Nights aren’t cooling enough, making heat stress worse day by day — and humidity is turning it into a suffocating slog. From the Southwest to the Gulf Coast and Midwest, even normally cooler spots like Montana and Wyoming could hit 100°F. Daily life is already feeling the pinch: museums see fewer visitors, reenactors swap wool for linen, and the summer’s brutal heat waves keep piling up. Relief may arrive by next week — but it’s fleeting. The Pacific Northwest and Mid-Atlantic might dodge the worst, but for most, officials urge staying cool, hydrating, and shielding vulnerable groups. Scientists confirm this is climate change in action — hotter, stickier, and more frequent heat waves than ever before.
