UNITED STATES FACES FIRST MAJOR HEATWAVE OF 2025 AMID 'HEAT DOME' PHENOMENON

Washington D.C. – The United States has issued its first significant heat wave advisory of 2025, starting June 20, as a powerful "heat dome" impacts central and eastern regions. This atmospheric event, driven by a persistent high-pressure system, traps hot, humid air, leading to prolonged and dangerously high temperatures.

The National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts record-breaking heat, beginning in the Central Plains and spreading across the Midwest, Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, and East Coast through next week. Temperatures are anticipated to be at least 8°C (14.4°F) above average. High humidity will push "RealFeel" temperatures well over 38°C (100°F).

Major cities anticipate extreme conditions. New York City, for instance, expects actual temperatures around 34°C, but RealFeel could hit 40°C (103°F) in areas like the Bronx by early next week. Philadelphia anticipates a peak of 38°C (101°F) on June 24, while Washington D.C. may reach 37°C (99°F). Nighttime lows will offer minimal relief.

Meteorologists attribute the heat dome to an Atlantic high-pressure system drawing moist Caribbean air, creating an "oven-like" effect.

Heat waves are America's deadliest weather-related hazard. A 2023 study reported over 21,500 heat-related deaths between 1999 and 2023, a 117% increase. 2023 alone saw a record 2,325 fatalities. Vulnerable populations—elderly, children, and those with pre-existing conditions—face heightened risks. Public officials urge extreme caution.
