A big and brutal heatwave will smother the Eastern US next week! Highs 95-100. Heat index 100-115. What really makes

A big and brutal heatwave will smother the Eastern US next week! Highs 95-100. Heat index 100-115. What really makes the #heatwave standout… the size and longevity… covering half the nation and lasting a full week for many. Ironically #Florida will be cooler than most places next week. With all this said, the heat dome intensity will not be unprecedented like the Europe one.

I hope workers that have to be outside can take breaks out of the heat.
