Record-high temps in U.S. and Canada as 'heat dome' parks over Pacific Northwest

북미, 유럽 펄펄 끓이는 '열돔'…배후에는 기후변화 심화 In North America, much of the Pacific Northwest... and British Colombia... are seeing record-high temperatures caused by a so-called "heat dome" of high pressure that's parked over the region. On Monday, Portland got close to 47 degrees Celsius, a new record for a third day in a row,... while Seattle hit a new all-time high of 42 degrees. Canada saw the highest temperature it's ever recorded... at 46-point-6 degrees, in the town of Lytton, prompting schools and vaccination sites to close. The U.S. and Canada have both warned of an unprecedented and dangerous heatwave forecast to continue through this week. Climate scientists have warned for a long time that climate change would increase the frequency and intensity of such heat waves. #Heat #US #temperature 📣 Arirang News(Facebook) :   / arirangtvnews   📣 Arirang News(Twitter) :   / arirangtvnews   📣 News Center(YouTube) :    / newscenter_arirangtv   2021-06-29, 17:00 (KST)
