Sahara

A severe heat dome is expected to cause dangerously high temperatures in the United States, surpassing the heat levels typically found in the Sahara Desert. The event poses significant risks due to extreme weather conditions.

A heatwave driven by Saharan air is causing temperatures to rise across Europe, with parts of the Iberian peninsula and France experiencing temperatures in the low- to mid-30s Celsius. Meanwhile, Australia is experiencing a mild start to winter.

Europe is experiencing record-breaking heat in May due to a heat dome from the Sahara, exacerbating an ongoing energy crisis. Politicians face pressure to address the dual challenges of high energy costs and climate-driven heatwaves.
