Hey there! Have you noticed how hot it is lately? 🌡️ Well, that’s because a massive Heat Dome is hovering over the eastern United States, causing temperatures to soar!
A Heat Dome happens when a high-pressure area traps hot air underneath it, like a big lid on a boiling pot. This means the heat can’t escape, and temperatures keep rising!
Because of this, many places in the eastern US are experiencing extreme heat and high humidity. People are being advised to stay cool, drink lots of water, and avoid going out during the hottest parts of the day.
For example, cities like New York 🗽 and Washington D.C. are seeing temperatures above 95°F (35°C)! That’s super hot!
Extreme heat can be dangerous, especially for kids, the elderly, and pets. It’s important to stay safe and help others stay cool too!
Remember to wear sunscreen if you go outside, find shade whenever you can, and maybe enjoy some ice cream to beat the heat! 🍦 Stay cool and take care!
