Interesting Things with JC #692: "Heat Dome" - It's a weather phenomenon characterized by a prolonged period of intense heat and stagnant conditions.

It forms when a high-pressure system traps hot air near the surface, leading to extreme temperatures and heatwaves, as seen in record-breaking events like the 2021 Canadian heatwave and the historic Middle Eastern heat dome of 2016.
