Because of the mix of scorching afternoons and extremely warm nights, Oklahoma City is at the highest degree of extreme heat danger. What is a heat dome? A heat dome is a meteorological phenomena in which the atmosphere forms a high-pressure region that traps hot air underneath it, much like a pot lid does. The pressure stops the milder weather systems from passing through by forcing air into a hotter, dome-shaped mass. This heat dome intensifies a heat wave by producing extended bursts of uncomfortably high temperatures. In the country's western and southern regions, where temperatures are already high, heat domes are more prevalent. Although heat domes have been building over the US for many years, the term seems to have gained popularity recently. In March 2022, the American Meteorological Society included "heat dome" in its lexicon of words. (With inputs from agencies)
