Why won’t the heat let up? Europe and North America just lived through the answer. 🔥🌡️
In June 2025, a brutal heat dome scorched large parts of Europe and North America—trapping heat, straining power grids, and endangering lives.
But what exactly is a heat dome?
It’s when a high-pressure air system parks over a region, acting like a lid and locking in heat. When the jet stream stalls, extreme events like heatwaves, wildfires, or torrential rain can stay in place for days—or weeks.
💥 Climate change is making these stuck patterns more likely.
Now is the time to:
✅ Improve early warning systems
✅ Adapt cities for extreme heat
✅ Push for urgent climate action
The next heat dome is coming. Will we be ready?
