What exactly is a heat dome and why does it cause temperatures to soar to historic breaking points? In this video, we break down the severe atmospheric phenomenon responsible for the most intense and prolonged heatwaves of the summer season.
A heat dome forms when a strong, deep zone of high pressure traps hot air over a region, forcing it downward and compressing it. This dynamic atmospheric squeezing overheats the air far beyond normal levels. Acting as a massive meteorological shield, these stubborn anticyclones block incoming weather fronts and storms, sealing in extreme temperatures during both daytime and nighttime. Discover how this dangerous cycle spikes electricity consumption, fuels catastrophic wildfires, and poses severe risks to human health.
