I more have a problem with this paragraph.
“The US will endure one of its most expansive heatwaves in history this week. Then another long lasting record breaking heat dome will plague #Europe again, back to back on its worst #heatwave in its history!”
Every anomalous outbreak doesn’t have to be dubbed “worst in history” .
As you stated earlier there have been higher temperatures recorded much more humid air masses and more dangerous/long lasting heat waves. Let’s see where this one ranks when all is said and done.
Now if we actually hit 100-104 over a large number of climo sites plus humidity that’s a different ball game. However it seems like we do 95-99 for a week stretch every year.
