Heat Dome Shatters Records Across Midwest | Business and Finance News

A blistering heat dome blankets the central U.S., scorching over 100 million people with temperatures hitting 112°F amid oppressive humidity, straining power grids as AC use surges. From the Canadian border to Dallas, heat advisories and warnings cover vast swaths, with record highs and dangerously warm nights expected — a public health and infrastructure nightmare. Meanwhile, Hurricane Fausto weakens harmlessly north of Hawaii, while Hurricane Genevieve intensifies off Mexico’s Baja coast, signaling an early-season hurricane surge. Along the heat dome’s edges, severe storms and high winds threaten the upper Midwest, adding chaos to the already punishing heat. The dome’s grip will hold through the week, drifting westward, with Southern California and the Southwest bracing for heat well into early August — a wild, dangerous weather rollercoaster across the nation.
