I don’t think any of us really understand how quickly collapse can happen:
> About 85% of the country expected to see highs of at least 40°C
> Almost 40% of the country’s dams below 20%
> 40% are between 20 and 50%.
> Mexico City (Population 22.51 million) forced to reduce water supply as reservoirs that feed city dry up.
> Stores running out of mineral water.
"Waters across the Atlantic’s tropical belt — extending from the coast of Africa through the Caribbean — are hotter now than in any other late May on record, with over 90% of the area’s sea surface engulfed in record or near-record warmth. The extent of marine heat has never been greater heading into a hurricane season, outpacing by wide margins the previous late May record-holder in 2005, a year remembered for one of the most active and destructive hurricane seasons in modern history." #climate#disasters#hurricanes
If you are in Florida, warning has been sounded on the massive heat issues that may be approaching. Banning mention of the cause will not keep bad things from happening... Be prepared! #FLwx#heatwaves
Delhi is facing severe heatwave during the voting day, which is impacting the health of the people. It is becoming a concerning issues now!
Our warnings show that temperatures are likely to be high in heat wave category but voting is important and as far as we understand, measures are being taken to prevent emergencies,” said a weather official.
@ai6yr that would definitely be smart. We have a leaky cellar we're going to improve in case we have an extended summer power outage. It stays nice and cool down there.
#Mexico, #Guatemala, #Belize all experiencing extreme record breaking heatwaves accompanied by widespread wildfires and smoke danger. (Image 1 showing increased risk of heat-humidity stress days as we continue to heat)
Instrument readings:
+1.63ºC 12-month running mean above preindustrial (Berkeley Earth/ERA5 datasets)
+1.3ºC latest 5-year average above preindustrial
#Heatwaves have long been known to impact children's learning. But the intensity & duration with which they strike now are leading to much greater cumulative impacts
#ClimateChange is directly causing educational gaps worth years across the world
For policy makers who care about GDP than #education, what happens to the economy when your workforce cant keep up?
This is as true in the west as in the #GlobalSouth
"As the county on Friday experienced searing temperatures, the Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) #Punjab issued an alert for #heatwave, #rains, and #storms expected this month."
Yup, thats THREE 'natural disasters' expected in the province this month.
Let that not distract you from the main headline - #schools will be closed because of them.
"Searing #heatwaves could be a common theme this summer in parts of the United States and might make it one of the hottest on record, according to an updated outlook released Thursday by The Weather Company and Atmospheric G2.
The West Coast, from California to southwest Washington, might be the exception. "
Early installment:
"Record-breaking heat has struck South #Florida this week and will persist into the weekend, bringing the heat index up to 109 degrees and unusually hot weather to parts of the state not usually seen until the summer months."
“Inconsistent or incomplete planning, a lack of funding, and the failure to make timely preparations to shield a population of 1.4 billion are leaving communities vulnerable as periods of extreme temperatures become more frequent, longer in duration and affect a wider sweep of country.”
While DeSantis removes climate change terminology from Florida state law...
"At this point, we're not even sampling from the same climate that we had in 2023 and before. This👇🏻would be as close to statistically impossible as it gets."—@bmcnoldy
