It's about ten years old in popular usage and not really describing anything new https://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/23/us/23dome.html
Eli Jacks, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Silver Spring, Md., said that he had no idea where the term “heat dome” originated, and that while he prefers the term “heat wave,” the dome metaphor was “an apt way to describe this huge bubble of hot air.”
Apparently the government actually tracked down and killed all the murder hornets and that's why we don't hear about them anymore. It's been years since I read about it, I don't remember if it was state or federal, but some combination of agencies hunted them all down and exterminated them to the last murder hornet. Small win for ecology.
Remember two years ago when heat dome was a novel term?
