Dangerously hot weather is affecting millions of people across the central part of the U.S. this weekend. As NPR's Avapu catch reports, these high temperatures can cause some serious health issues
for some of the nation's most vulnerable people. This heat dome stretches from Dallas to North Dakota, and is expected to linger into the coming days. A heat dome occurs when strong atmospheric pressure acts like a lid, trapping hot air
“and humidity over a region for days or weeks at a time.”
It's in part due to climate change. That's led to more heat waves and hotter nights. When the atmosphere retains more heat at night, the daytime temperature rises from a hotter baseline. The National Weather Service says high temperatures combined with high humidity can make
conditions feel worse. It can also be dangerous. Children, the elderly and people of medical conditions are most at risk of heat stroke. The temperatures in many areas are expected to push above one hundred degrees. You're listening to NPR News in Washington.

They say climb over the glass wall of the city's iconic space needle, flipped over the edge, and then parachute it down for more than 600 feet off the ground. Authorities say the jumpers who face trespassing charges, purchase tickets, and legally entered the space needle on Friday night. The popular attraction in Seattle has a round observation deck surrounded by high glass
windows that are open to the sky above. Police say the two men put on helmets in a restroom, then ran to the glass window, climbed over to the other side, and jumped off.
