The heat dome is expected to expand to other parts of the U.S. during the coming week.
Jairianna Stennis, 10, cools off at the Rosewood splash pad in East Austin, Texas, Monday, June 26, 2023. DALLAS — Scorching temperatures brought on by a “heat dome” have taxed the Texas power grid and threaten to bring record highs to the state before they are expected to expand to other parts of the U.S. during the coming week, putting even more people at risk.
“By the time we get into the middle of summer, it’s hard to get the hot air aloft,” said Nielsen-Gammon, a professor at Texas A&M’s College of Atmospheric Sciences. “If it’s going to happen, this is the time of year it will.” High heat continues this week after it prompted Texas’ power grid operator, the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, to ask residents last week to voluntarily cut back on power usage because of anticipated record demand on the system.reports more than 46 million people from west Texas and southeastern New Mexico to the western Florida Panhandle are under heat alerts.
