Record Heat Waves Hit Southern U.S

The southern United States is enduring a severe and prolonged heat wave, driven by a persistent high-pressure system commonly referred to as a “heat dome.” This phenomenon has resulted in extreme temperatures across the region, with some areas in states like Texas, Arizona and New Mexico experiencing highs exceeding 110°F. Notably, temperatures in places such as Rio Grande Village, Texas have reached up to 119°F.

The intense heat has had significant repercussions on public health, causing numerous heat-related fatalities and hospitalizations. For instance, Phoenix has recorded 93 deaths due to the heat. Local authorities have responded by setting up cooling centers and providing shelters to aid those affected.

This pattern of heat waves is indicative of a larger trend towards more frequent and severe hot weather events globally, likely exacerbated by climate change. Communities are adapting by enhancing their support networks and adjusting public infrastructure to better cope with these extreme conditions.
