What is the Heat Dome Causing Europe’s Record Temperatures?

A heat dome is currently causing near-record high temperatures across Britain, Spain, and France. These weather patterns occur globally, locking in extreme heat for several days. According to Freddy Vela, this heat is expected to persist through the end of June, as temperatures continue to climb and the chances for rain do not return. The phenomenon is responsible for the record-breaking warmth currently being experienced across various regions of Europe during this period.
