Instead of letting hot air rise and disperse, the high pressure pushes it back down, compressing and warming it further, while also blocking clouds and storms that might otherwise bring relief. The result: day after day of intensifying heat with little to break the cycle. L74fvEkvkx8 1voa4a1mxqb xfdEqLitr78 kJTjEhBunUV S3VZhYd2oiz
