Move over, summer—Mother Nature just hit fast-forward! 🚀 A massive heat dome is turning the eastern U.S. into an oven this week, shattering temperature records from Boston to Philly. Think of it as a giant atmospheric lid trapping heat like your phone on a 3-hour TikTok binge. 📱🔥
Why This Heat Wave Hits Different
Meteorologists say cities like NYC and Philly are facing their hottest early-summer temps in over a decade. 'People aren’t acclimated yet,' one expert warned. Translation: Your AC-less apartment might feel like a sauna challenge. 🧖♂️
Survival Mode Activated
Local officials are urging folks to hydrate (water > iced coffee, sorry) and check on vulnerable neighbors. Pro tip: Nighttime won’t save you—lows in the 80s mean even stars are sweating. 🌃💦
Climate Change’s Cameo
While heat domes aren’t new, scientists note these events are becoming more intense and frequent. Cue the 'this is fine' meme, but with melting ice cream. 🍦🔥
