Scientists Just WARNED: This Heat Dome Is Only A Preview of Whats Coming [iL2HEebMIFr]
The heat dome trapping 200 million Americans just broke all-time records from Phoenix to Salt Lake City - and here is what the science actually says. A single high-pressure heat dome has parked over the eastern two-thirds of the United States, and it is the deadliest kind of weather there is. More than 200 million people have been under its influence, with the National Weather Service placing over 100 million under extreme heat warnings at the same time. Phoenix hit 118 degrees, Salt Lake City set an all-time record of 109, and cities from Washington to Chicago pushed heat index values past 110.
