Heat Dome Map US Corn Belt shows dangerous temperature in parts of the south

A High dome This week is trapping over 90 million Americans in excessive temperature. National weather service Issuing heat alert from Nebraska to Florida.

Dangerous heat Mississippi and parts of the south -east pose a threat to a temperature of above 100 degrees in some areas with a temperature of above 100 degrees. Some places can see heat index value from 110 to 115 degrees, or feel-like temperature.

While the record is not expected to reach the height, the temperature is still estimated to be about 10 to 15 degrees above the average, which they are usually compared to this time of the year.

Maps show July heat alert and forecast shows

Since the extreme heat hits parts of the corn belt, an area in the plains and part of the central Mississippi valley where the heat index value can reach between 105 and 110 °, high humidity is also expected. Known as a common phenomenon SweatWhich occurs when excessive heat beats on the corn crop and it causes humidity to sweat and increase the air.

Although the record high is not predicted this week, overnight climbing in the mid -80s in the mid -70s may probably break the record high minimums in states such as Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentaki, Louisiana, Missouri, South Carolina and Tennessee. Climate centralA non -profit that analyzes climate change data.

The high humidity coupled with extreme temperature is dangerous because the combination greatly increases the possibility of heat related diseases. The NWS Prediction Center says that overnight relief is also a major threat to health.

Climate change increases the heat waves rapidly

Climate change has created at least three times more heat for about 160 million people in the US in July, about half the population, a climate was found in central analysis.

Using data calculations and called Climate shift index ,

The CSI uses real -time data to estimate how climate change has increased the possibility of a special daily temperature, according to climate medium.

Last month, another heat dome exposed about half of the country dangerously for high temperatures. On 24 June, seven states tied or broken the monthly high temperature record, more than several triple points. One of those states, Maryland reported that during that time 472 people needed medical help for heat -related diseases, when the heat index was at the top of 110 degrees at some places.

With such incidents being more common, Democratic MPs proposed the law last week. Classify excessive heat as a disasterWhich will allow federal money to flow into areas where the warm temperature causes significant physical and economic crisis.
