"Searing heat and fire danger will quickly ramp up in #California and the West this week as a summerlike #HeatDome parks over the region. Thermometers will top triple digits for the first time this year in some locations as the early season heat wave sends daily records tumbling."
A Massive #HeatDome Develops over #Europe, Spreading Significant Warmth over the Continent
This weekend, a large blocking pattern developed across western and southern Europe, resulting in a significantly warmer and much drier air mass. Temperature is forecast to be much higher again, especially in elevated areas, while strong temperature inversion will engulf the lowlands.
It's official, red alerts have gone out across the entire country of Brazil as the heat index hits 137F. The high temperature combined with humidity has made it impossible for most people to carry out their normal lives. There's already reports of power outages. People can't work. They can't run errands. They can barely sleep. It's not even summer there yet
"Brazil is bracing for a heat wave that could see temperatures rise to 113 degrees Fahrenheit (45 degrees Celsius) during the Southern Hemisphere's final days of winter. That temperature would reportedly break a record in the country -- not just for winter, but for any time of year."
Performed inspection on our original #beehive. Lots of stored pollen, very little nectar/honey, & a few capped drone cells. #Bees must have eaten their stores during the #HeatDome. Put a trough of nectar in. Pondering putting a frame of eggs in from swarm hive.🤔 #Beekeeping
I moved into this house in Feb. 1991 & it never once reached a temperature of 102 deg. F. in all those years... This week, it has reached that temperature on two separate days... including today
My wife is crestfallen by the trauma of the #HeatDome - no animal presence, no cars, no people, just 121° Heat index aka 49.x°C, and frankly, I cant comfort her or reframe it or etc
We arent doing shit about our own fucking extinction & until the oligarchs are slayed, that isnt changing.
I cant even begin to fucking absorb/digest/process it.
We are in a Climate War for our lives & the lives of thousands of species & most people pretend otherwise.
I guess I need to water the #garden... The bottoms of the tomato plants are drying out. Most of the tomatoes harvested. Not sure if they will even put on any more blossoms? 🤔 The rest of the garden could really use a 💧💦🌊🌧🌦🌩💧🌊🪣🚿💦 since we are still stuck in this #HeatDome.
If you see a mental health provider or are a provider, be sure to feel free to share the impact of #ClimateChange & #HeatDome on mental health, stroke risk, cognitive dysfunction, and domestic violence with patients and other providers alike.
@w7voa I took a look. Looks like it is for wedneday. Of you tap on the alert you will see a start time. Parts of WI could see triple digits, and heat index values will most certainly be in the triple digits.
The #heatdome, Day 2. I'm on my way out to give the ram-lambs 🐏🐏🐏🐏 some cold water as their trough gets heated by the sun this time of day and they need cold water to try to stay cool.
Day 3: I'm starting to wonder if we can all make it to Friday. It's only noon and we are already at feels like 122°F with practically no wind. #HeatDome#KsWx#ExcessiveHeat#ExtremeWeather
Day 7: This had better be the last day of these #HeatDome shenanigans! 😤 Grass and plants fairly torched at this point. It's trying to conjure up a t-storm out there, but it's just hot, hot, hot! 🥵 Humans and animals are just exhausted! #KsWx#ExcessiveHeat#ExtremeWeather
Extreme heat returns to Europe as well this week. Even Greenland.
Temperatures close to 45 °C in parts of the Iberian peninsula, low 40s in southern France and North-central Italy, and high 30s to low 40s across south-central Balkans.
No, this is not normal. Or is this the new normal?
