Are you ready to feel the heat? What about some nice entertainment? Join us in this sizzling episode of Weather with Enthusiasm, where we explore soaring temperatures across the northern hemisphere, from Canada and the U.S. reaching into the 90s, to Russia getting up to the low 100s. We'll discuss wildfires, smoke, and the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality's ozone alert – along with simple measures you can take to keep ozone levels healthy. But it's not all about the heat; we've got floods to talk about too. Discover warnings across the U.S. (from Reno, Nevada due to snowmelt and increased reservoir releases to Amarillo, Texas as a result of excessive rainfall), and the potential impact of high elevation snowmelt in the Salt Lake City, Utah region. We'll share crucial advice from local officials to keep you safe during these natural disasters, so remember our mantra: "turn around, don't drown" when facing flooded roads. Finally, we'll take you to the Midwest, where an Omega block is forming a dome of heat and affecting drought areas, increasing the potential for dust storms. We'll also dive into how the high-pressure system in Canada is pushing the heat westward.  Join us on this wild weather journey, and stay informed about the extreme conditions happening across the globe.
