Unprecedented Heatwave Sweeps Across Central and Northeastern States
TL;DR
Central states in the U.S., including parts of the Plains and Upper Midwest, are experiencing a second summer with record-setting high temperatures in the 90s. This abnormally hot weather, which has already broken numerous records, is expected to persist for a few more days before cooler weather moves in. The heatwave has also affected Europe, with countries like Spain, Portugal, Morocco, and France experiencing record-setting temperatures. The hot weather is attributed to a weather pattern known as an "omega block," which is expected to break down as a strong cold front moves across the northern and central U.S., bringing cooler temperatures and the possibility of severe thunderstorms.
