Nearly 200M in U.S. under heat advisories, warnings as two heat domes form

The next decade we are going to see a lot more heat related deaths. And unfortunately, it will disproportionally affect the poorest/most vulnerable people.

It's a been pretty weird experience sitting comfortably here in the Mojave desert while my family in the PNW is suffering in the heat.

I’m in Oregon. After that lingering week of 110+ temperatures in June the temperature gauge at my house said it got to 119 one afternoon), these three days of about 100 degree temperatures seems downright cool in comparison.

Note, this article is from two days ago and references predictions made then for yesterday.

&gt; High temperatures in Portland, Ore., are forecast to reach 98°F Wednesday, and 100°F on Thursday and Friday before cooling down for the weekend. The typical high temperature in Portland at this time of year is 83°F.<p>What does &quot;typical high&quot; mean? Wikipedia says that the average high for August is 82°F, but the mean maximum is 97°F.

It&#x27;s crazy how hot Vancouver has been this summer. That and the smoke from wildfires. If this is a constant for every year I will seriously consider moving :&#x2F;

From the US, had anyone ever heard of <i>heat domes</i> during summer heat waves before

Becoming a common thing now, maybe people will finally believe something must be done, but it’s likely already too late.

I wonder if the reason the US elites are moving to NZ is these heat waves: perhaps modeling revealed that most of the US will become uncomfortably hot and humid in the next decade or so, while NZ will stay cool.
