Summary

Description
English: Formation of a heat wave : a high-pressure circulation in the atmosphere acts like a dome or cap, trapping heat at the surface.
Français : Un anticyclone, s'étendant de la surface jusqu'en altitude, agit comme un couvercle qui retient la chaleur formant un dôme plus chaud que les régions environnantes et produisant une canicule.
Nederlands: Ontstaan van een hittekoepel tijdens een hittegolf: een hogedrukcirculatie in de atmosfeer werkt als een koepel of deksel, waardoor hete lucht wordt opgesloten.
