US · Published Aug 12, 2026
Tulsa, Oklahoma, remains under the influence of a persistent heat dome, leading to hotter-than-normal conditions and triple-digit temperatures.
Morning lows are expected to hover in the upper 70s to lower 80s, while afternoon highs will likely exceed 100°F (37.8°C) through early next week.

Impact & Risks

The ongoing heat dome poses significant risks to residents in Tulsa and surrounding areas. Prolonged exposure to triple-digit temperatures increases the likelihood of heat-related illnesses such as heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The lack of rainfall exacerbates drought conditions, potentially impacting agriculture and water resources. Vulnerable populations, including the elderly, children, and those with pre-existing health conditions, are at heightened risk. Outdoor activities should be limited during peak heat hours to avoid health complications. (Source: NewsOn6)
