Meteorologists warn week ahead in US will have dangerous temps: ‘Heat is not to be played with’

A large, strong, and long-lasting heat dome will cause dangerous temperatures across most of the U.S. Lower 48 states, with temperatures 15–25°F above normal, including at night, posing risks to health and wildfire conditions. The heat wave, expected to last at least a week and potentially spread coast-to-coast, may break over 90 temperature records.
