A potentially deadly combination of heat, humidity and stagnant, polluted air has engulfed more than half of the Lower 48 states, with air temperatures climbing toward the century mark everywhere from the Plains to the Midwest, Mississippi River Valley, and eastward to the heavily populated Washington to Boston corridor.
The trigger for this heat wave is a sprawling, strong high pressure area, also known as a “Heat Dome,” building across the U.S. Another high pressure area in the Western Atlantic, which is known as the “Bermuda High,” is also a key player, since the circulation around these weather features is pumping hot and humid air from south to north.
The most memorable aspect of this heat wave will be the lack of relief at night, especially in urban areas where the urban heat island prevents temperatures from falling quickly overnight. Most vulnerable groups to heat-related illnesses include the elderly, chronically ill, children, and outdoor workers.
Good thing they put the border where they did, huh.
Wrong. Meteorologists are just part of the climate change hoax

Yeah, it's the frigging middle of July, Philips!! We have A/C, except for tiny fraction of population (not like 60's). It's all fine. And we pay big bucks to go to Mexico in winter to get even hotter. Are there warnings for us to travel there in January? Think!! There is a heat wave in Eastern Canada, thank goodness CTV arranged to have a video shot with an expert, who can explain to me what it is like when it is hot outside.

Netflix's 2Q dud rattles investors as competition heats upNetflix's video streaming service suffered a dramatic slowdown in growth during its traditionally sluggish spring season, a drop-off coming as the company boosts its prices and girds for even stiffer competition. Not enough episodes and not enough English speaking new shows .That could be why in North America. Amazon Prime is the way to go. It's cheaper than Netflix and, with the fire stick, the possibilities are endless. That's why I just cancelled Netflix. The new pricing will slowly end them.
