Heat wave is expected to bring high temperatures to parts of the South and Midwest
A new 'heat dome' is forecast to bring triple-digit temperatures to over 100 million Americans in the coming days.
The severe heat will primarily affect the Midwest and Southern US, including parts of Nebraska, Missouri, Texas, and Louisiana, with daytime temperatures expected to exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
This weather phenomenon, caused by a high-pressure area trapping warm air, is anticipated to persist through the end of July.
The current heatwave follows similar extreme conditions experienced on the East Coast last month, where cities like New York and Boston recorded triple-digit temperatures.
The intense heat is expected to hinder manual labor jobs and impact athletic training, while the Northeast will experience a temporary respite.
