· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The central and southern United States is experiencing a second consecutive day of extreme heat and high humidity, with no short-term relief in sight. Temperatures are expected to exceed 100°F in several states, with heat indices surpassing 105°F from Memphis to Montana and Las Vegas. Some areas in the Southwest may reach up to 120°F, according to the National Weather Service. This heat wave is caused by a heat dome, which traps heat in the atmosphere. Authorities warn that children, the elderly, and those with certain medical conditions are at high risk for serious heat-related illnesses. Staying hydrated and seeking air conditioning is advised.
