Record Heatwave Grips Nation
A massive heat dome originating in the Southwest is expanding eastward, shattering March temperature records across 14 states and the U.S. as a whole. This expansive heat wave is expected to persist into the following week, with much of the nation experiencing unseasonably high temperatures. Meteorologists note that while this event is geographically vast, its intensity is somewhat tempered by lower humidity compared to summer heat waves. Climate scientists attribute the record heat to human-caused climate change, estimating that it made the event significantly more likely.
