It’s a hot east where I live and for a few days. As much as the heat here in the north of New York State made me run inside with the air conditioner Explosion is nothing compared to the other parts of the United States now affected by one of the most bizarre weather conditions of summer: the Dome of heat.
If this is a new sentence for you, continue to read and I will break down what a heat dome is and what causes them, and for more help, read the list of Cnet de Cnet hacks to keep your house cool in summer.
What is a heat dome?
Consider a heat of heat similar to the installation of a lid on a pan or a frying pan while cooking something, Alex Lamers of the National Weather Service said NPR.
A heat dome is what happens when a high pressure system lingers, which tramps hot air, causing prolonged temperature tips. Just like the way in which the installation of a lid on a saucepan or a saucepan traps heat and cooks food faster. Except in this case, the food is you and me.
This is aggravated by the fact that high pressure systems are known to cause dry weather, which can also contribute to warmer temperatures.
According to The thermal card Supplied on the official website of the National Integrated Health Information System, the heat risks are raised for most of the country between the Midwest and Lower Mississippi Valley regions and the East Coast, with the east of North Carolina, the center of Virginia, the Pittsburgh region, the south-east of Pennsylvania, the south-east of Maryland, Most of the New Jersey and almost all of Delaware being under extreme thermal wars.
In the hardest affected areas, temperatures can go up to 115 degrees, while others will hover between 95 and 100 degrees. All around, it is the kind of time to make the prospect of A power outage a scenario of life or death.
How long does a heat dome last?
I would like to have better news for you.
Unfortunately, the heat domes are known to last a few days to a few weeks, all depend on the time it takes for the high pressure system in a given region to move or dissipate.
While ACCWEATHER reported On June 24, that the incoming rainst storms will offer certain areas relief, not all regions will have as lucky. Some areas will see the heat dome decompose more gradually. So if you hoped for things without putting ac, it is probably time to reconsider.
Does climate change aggravate heat domes?
Oh, absolutely.
Talk to Time Magazine For a report on the current heat wave, Bill Gallus, professor of meteorology at the State University of Iowa, said that the question of cause and effect was “one of the easiest to answer”.
Thermal domes, he explained, are one of the most likely consequences of the worsening of climate change, even more than other related meteorological events, such as the increase in tornadoes and stronger hurricanes.
“There are so many things that are complicated and we cannot say with certainty what climate change will do, like the number of hurricanes or tornadoes that we get,” said Gallus. “But it is likely that we will have more domes of heat and probably warmer temperatures in heat domes.”
How can I avoid a heat dome?
As you might be able to say from all these explanations so far, there is not much to do about a heat dome, except to move away from it.
This could mean staying inside where it is cool or to go to another place that does not suffer under a high pressure system. Maybe you are going to the west coast, where my other CNET colleagues – of which I am not jealous and that I have never been, promising – insist that time is positively tempered. I hope you have fun there, guys.
Or hey, maybe try the old summer wait and go see a film in a nice air-conditioned theater. That New F1 film It looks rather treated.
