Texas Braces for Record-Breaking Heat Wave

A heat wave in Texas has entered its third week, with temperatures expected to rise further and expand north and east over the next week. The National Weather Service has expressed concern about the dangerous and deadly consequences of the heat, with numerous records already broken. The heat dome responsible for the heat wave is expected to persist through at least next week and possibly into the following week, with climate change making such events more probable. The warm nighttime temperatures make it especially dangerous, and it is essential to have a way to cool down and interrupt heat exposure.
