Overview

June 2024 Heat Waves refers to a series of long-lasting and expansive heat waves across the United States, United Kingdom and India in June 2024 with multiple days of record-breaking high temperatures. The event, similar to other viral weather occurrences like the 2022 European Heatwave, spawned numerous memes about the weather, global warming and climate change, with a prevalent viral topic about the possible June Heat Dome hitting the Northeast and Midwest region of the U.S., causing the hottest stretch of weather in 30 years.

Background

On June 16th, 2024, the United States National Weather Service Weather Prediction Center[1] reported that a possible record-breaking heat wave is forecast to expand from the Midwest and Great Lakes to the Northeast into the following weeks of June. The tweet (seen below) also detailed that the extreme temperatures could be "the longest experienced in decades for some locations." The post amassed roughly 820 likes and 460 reposts in a day.
