With respect to “heat dome“, they explained that “It is a high pressure system that traps hot air in a specific region, This prevents its dispersion and causes a prolonged heat wavethis phenomenon began on May 20 and generates strong temperatures in several regions of the Mexican Republic.

The heat dome is generated by a sudden change in ocean temperatures, so the increase in water temperature heats the air and the winds push that heat towards the land.

When hot air reaches the earth, it is trapped by a high pressure system, forming a flanked dome by low pressure systems on both sides, which is further heated by the air column compressing it, effectively acting as a dome.
