“Heat is no joke”: Warning of a week of dangerous temperatures in the U.S.
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Most of the contiguous 48 states in the United States are about to be engulfed by an unusually large, intense, and prolonged heat dome that the National Weather Service (NWS) describes as 'significant and dangerous.' Meteorologists indicated that the heat wave will begin this weekend and last at least a week, with some areas feeling its effects until the end of the month. They noted that in many regions, temperatures will be between 15 and 25 degrees Fahrenheit above normal, even at night. Higher nighttime temperatures are especially harmful to human health and to efforts to contain an active wildfire season. 'This upcoming heat wave does seem quite remarkable,' said Daniel Swain, a climatologist with the University of California's Agriculture and Natural Resources. 'It will be a prolonged, widespread, and high-intensity heat episode affecting millions of people for more than a week.'
