Shafaqna English- On Saturday(11 Jul 2026), a dangerous and expansive heat wave began intensifying across the U.S., with temperatures exceeding 100°F forecast for the Southwest and Great Plains over the weekend. This extreme heat is expected to push eastward, trapped beneath a high-pressure dome that, according to meteorologists, could lock in sweltering conditions for a week or longer.
Authorities urged the public to drink plenty of fluids and seek out air-conditioned spaces, noting that temperatures could soar 15 to 25°F (8–14°C) above seasonal norms across many regions, even during nighttime hours. This nocturnal heat is particularly dangerous, as it prevents the human body from cooling down and recovering overnight.
