Europe's Sizzling September: A Heat Dome of Concern As the calendar flips to September, a sizzling heat dome is set to envelop southern Europe, casting a long shadow over the region's parched landscapes.
Temperatures are expected to soar into the high 30s and even touch 40C in some areas, a phenomenon that has left experts pondering its implications for the UK and beyond.
The heat dome, a term coined by meteorologists to describe an area of persistent high pressure, originates from North Africa.
