More smoke, more storms, and more heat: Big 3
It will destroy the top weather on the third floor that day.
The Pacific Northwest is set to burn under record-breaking potential temperatures as heat domes remain parked in the region and powerful storms are predicted to bring about another heavy rain in the US southern part.
According to the National Weather Service, high temperatures were lower in parts of Washington, Oregon and Idaho on June 10th in the 90s and 100s.
In addition to the risk of fever disease, suffocating temperatures coincide with low humidity and gusts of wind, with gusts up to 30 mph, which can quickly spread wild fires that ignite.
Meanwhile, across the plains and southeastern parts of the Southern United States, weather services say it will continue to rain through rainy areas, from New Mexico and Texas to parts of North Florida and Georgia, which will be another wet, rainy day.
The harshest weather – poses the risk of flash floods and damages the wind – could break out in Texas and have been abused by a relentless storm since last week, leading to at least one death and an urgent national resource revitalization by Gov. Greg Abbott.
The looming storm is not as severe as the storm that broke out last week and over the weekend. This spun tornadoes in the plains and caused floods in Texas.
Record-time temperatures will ease by mid-week
The heat dome, which releases stifling stifling fever across the Pacific Northwest, is expected to be easier by Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.
The heat was first set for the weekend, leading to a record 90-degree height at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the Weather Service said. That temperature on June 8th destroyed a previous record of 87 degrees set in 1948.
With temperatures expected to reach triple digits in some internal areas, predictors expect more daily temperature records to break on June 10th.
High fever is the most deadly weather condition
The heat takes into account the deadliest and quietest extreme weather conditions. Between 2018 and 2020, more than 3,000 people died from fever-related causes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Scientists say exposure to a heat index above 80 degrees can lead to fatigue, and the risk continues to increase as temperatures increase. Elderly people, children and outdoor workers are generally at a higher risk of fever-related illnesses.
What exacerbates the problem is the fact that extreme heat is becoming more severe and frequent. Last year was the hottest on record, and predictors were hoping this trend would continue.
On June 10, the Weather Service in Spokane, Washington, urged residents to take precautions from the heat. “Drinking lots of liquids, staying in an air-conditioned room, staying away from the sun, checking out your relatives and neighbors.”
