Cúpula de calor obliga a tratamiento con agua fría a 70 millones

Los expertos en salud aconsejaron una inmersión inmediata en agua fría para los pacientes con golpe de calor mientras la cúpula de calor seguía afectando a cerca de 70 millones de estadounidenses el 29 de julio. El 23 de julio el Servicio Meteorológico Nacional de EE.  UU. emitió un aviso de calor para la zona de Washington, D. C.

, Maryland y Virginia, advirtiendo sobre tormentas severas y humo persistente de incendios forestales. La agencia también alertó sobre tormentas con riesgo de inundaciones repentinas en el Medio Oeste y la costa este, y pronosticó índices de calor de hasta 116 °F en partes del centro del país. Se esperaba que un sistema de alta presión mantuviera temperaturas superiores a 100 °F en el sur y centro, lo que provocó advertencias de calor extremo para aproximadamente 70 millones de personas, según informaron AP y The Guardian. Informes posteriores de ABC News y USA Today indicaron que las alertas de calor llegaron a más de 100 millones de personas y que una corriente atmosférica que se desplaza desde las llanuras hacia los Grandes Lagos y la zona I-95 produciría vientos fuertes, granizo y riesgo de inundaciones repentinas.
