Heat Dome Lurks, Putting More Than 130M in US in Dangerous Heat
The Messenger ^ | 23 Aug 2023 | Luke Funk

Roughly 130 million people in 22 states are under various heat warnings, watches and advisories as a dangerous heat dome settles over a huge section of the county.

The searing August heat wave is forecast to continue through at least the end of this week.

The National Weather Service says a potent upper-level ridge is anchored over the Mid-Mississippi Valley, trapping the hot air.

It is bringing oppressive heat from the central U.S. to the Gulf Coast. High temperatures throughout these areas are forecast to reach into the upper 90s and low 100s through Thursday.

“Heat Dome” another BS made-up weather term.

“It’s called Summer”

It never ceases to amaze me the ululations from every corner of the climate-change world of never ending lunacy.

In Aztec times, I imagine we would be lobbing off heads and bouncing them down the temple steps to appease the angry climate Gods with how this groupthink craziness operates.

Consider, last year the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano erupted spewing TRILLIONS of tons of water vapor into the stratosphere, so the rains and other storm activity are likely exacerbated by that single event: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/tonga-eruption-blasted-unprecedented-amount-of-water-into-stratosphere

Now we also have massive solar flares that could exacerbate far more than the rains and storms, this could lead to intense heat, power outages and increased death: https://www.livescience.com/space/the-sun/sunspot-numbers-hit-20-year-high-indicating-the-sun-is-fast-approaching-its-explosive-peak

I have no doubt that our government, who compiles all of this data, has plans to create a narrative that these normal and naturally occurring climate events are caused by you, your hamburger eating, your SUV driving, and your incandescent light bulb-using energy consumption, along with you just breathing.

None of what we are experiencing has anything to do with human activity, outside of the politics we’re made to endure.

The BEST time to push Climate Change/Manmade Global Warming is in Summer, or when the weather is unseasonably warm, which can even happen in winter from time to time...

Think of these forecasts and articles as advertising for the agenda.

People in charge tell the media what stories to write. They write, people read or listen to news readers, and it becomes fact. HEAT DOME.... ?????? ROFLMAO. . . Humans are like sheep, easily controlled once you get them in a flock.

I’m sorry you people don’t understand weather but the heat dome is a good description of what is happening for a select portion of central us until it moves back west. It prevents any jet stream or even wind much less rain

You need to experience what 105+ degrees with a dew point of mid 70’s + actually feels like. (120 degrees)

I’ll see your heat dome and raise you a bomb cyclone and an arctic river.

Don't forget the Polar Vortex.

Our overnight lows are higher than some people’s daytime highs. (Like Seattle)

In Alaska it’s the summer that never was. 60° will be the high today. This the first year ever that my furnace will have run at some time in every month. Normally it stops in May and starts up again in September.

You get 15 minutes exertion in the heat we’ve had before heat stress sets in leading to death if no measures are taken

Who is taking it lightly? But I have to laugh that I’ve lived here in Texas for about 30 years now, every summer the temperature is 105-110 degrees for the better part of August, and until this year, I never once saw an “Extreme Heat Warning”. It was just a given that it was hot this time of year.

I saw this on the evening news last night. Guess what — the big numbers they put up on the map for all to see? They were “heat index” numbers, not temperatures. The graphic actually said that, in small print, but the talker only spoke about temperature.

They are sneaky and dishonest and you have to pay attention to the details.
