The extreme heat poses significant health risks, particularly for vulnerable populations such as the elderly, children, and those working outdoors. Prolonged exposure to high temperatures and humidity can lead to heat-related illnesses. In addition, the storms around the heat dome's perimeter may cause flash flooding, especially in urban areas, low-lying regions, and near small streams. Texas faces an elevated flood risk due to heavy rainfall from Tropical Storm Edouard, which could disrupt transportation and damage property.
