BREAKING NEWS Jet stream 'bulge' to trigger sweltering heat dome that will bring triple digit temperatures to 85m Americans
A bulge in the jet stream across American skies is set to trigger an extreme heat dome this week - bringing triple-figure temperatures to large swathes of the country. Nearly 85 million Americans, from South Dakota to Texas and North Carolina to Florida, are already experiencing the extreme heat warnings. But the sweltering conditions are expected to intensify this week - bringing temperatures in the high 90s and surpassing 100s in some areas. Dallas and Kansas City are among the densely-populated urban areas where the heat index is expected to go above 100F, causing a drought due to the lack of rainfall. AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Chad Merrill said: 'This has the look of a long-lasting heat wave with limited rainfall. 'Drought will expand through the central Plains by mid-August and worsen in Kansas and Nebraska, where there are already pockets of moderate to extreme drought.' The heat wave could last until the last weekend of July in the Plains and South, before the rising temperatures move westward towards the Rockies. A heat dome is a high-pressure atmospheric system that cause warm air to be pushed to the Earth's surface - often becoming trapped for longer periods of time.

A powerful low-pressure system delivered heavy precipitation as it moved east into central Europe on Tuesday, after dumping a month's worth of rain across parts of England, according to Tom Morgan, a meteorologist with the UK Met Office.

UK weather: Brits brace for more thunder and heavy rain as 18 flood alerts and Met Office yellow warning still in place
Brits can expect even more thunder and heavy rain as 18 flood alerts and a Met Office yellow weather warning are still in place. It means heavy rain could cause flooding and travel disruption. 7 7 7 7 Yellow warnings for thunderstorms cover parts of Scotland today. The rest of the country will see a more mixed picture of sunny spells and scattered showers, with the rain continuing until the evening. Some 18 flood alerts are in place following the downpour. Most are in Birmingham, Derby, Leicester, and Nottingham. Meteorologist Tom Morgan suggested that temperatures will remain high in places despite the adverse weather conditions. He said: 'Tuesday is not looking as unsettled. The showers won't be quite as widespread or indeed as heavy as they have been. 'Nonetheless, there will be some showers or longer spells of rain for Scotland in particular, the west, (and) northwestern parts of England as well. 'But many parts of England and Wales (will be) actually getting away with a fairly reasonable day with some dry periods. 'And if the sunshine does break through that cloud at times, well, we might see temperatures reach 24C or 25C.' It comes after four weather warnings were in place across the country yesterday. This means the stormy weather is a "danger to life". Heavy rainfall means flooding could lead to difficult driving conditions and some road closures Homes and businesses are likely to be flooded, and some communities will be cut off by flooded roads. There may also be delays and some cancellations to train and bus services, along with power cuts. The forecaster added: "If you find yourself outside and hear thunder, protect yourself by finding a safe enclosed shelter(such as a car). Do not shelter under or near trees, or other structures which may be struck by lightning. If you are on an elevated area move to lower ground." Chief Meteorologist, Andy Page, said: 'A band of very heavy rain will pivot over Northern Ireland during Sunday night, bringing totals of possibly 50-75 mm in just a short period of time. "This high intensity rainfall can lead to flooding, with impacts on properties, transport networks and power outages. 'The heavy rain comes at the start of a new working week so expect disruption to the Monday morning commute and check the flood risk in your area to protect your property.' 7 7 7
