Where the heat is worst
The most intense and long -term heat is expected in the Tennessee Valley, Southeast and Carolinas, with the lowest levels of the morning in the mid -70s. Further north, the Middle West will reach the 90s until the beginning of the next week.
An expanding heat dome, which has a high -pressure back of the hot air, fueled excessive conditions, while plenty of moisture makes you feel a few degrees warmer. The estimation maps show the US in red and purple deep tones.
A cold façade is expected to bring some relief to the Ohio Valley, but most of the South will be at a great risk of heat until 30 or 31 July.
The latest analysis of Climate Central found that human -induced climate change made this extreme temperature three times more likely for almost half of the US population. June 2025, the record -breaking seventh hottest June and July is even hotter.
The average July temperatures in 48 states have increased to 2.7 ° F since 1950. Scientists now warn that a permanent night temperature prevents the cooling of houses, streets and trees at record levels and increases stress on the human body.
Health Risks and Safety Tips
