The East Coast experienced record-high temperatures this week, with cities in the Southeast reaching scorching temperatures of over 100 degrees. Meteorologists acknowledge that these upward trends of increasing temperatures during the summer are creating a phenomenon known as a ‘heat dome’. Heat domes occur when a high-pressure system essentially traps hot air over a region for a prolonged period of time.

These heat domes can cause extremely hot temperatures to last for days on end, with little to no reprieve. It is therefore essential that businesses stay prepared for these climate events by leveraging cooling devices, such as spot coolers, temporary air conditioners, and generators, to ensure their space stays at an optimal temperature for customers and staff.
