Why this matters: The National Weather Service said a “dangerous” heat wave began to scorch the Northeast and mid-Atlantic on Thursday and will continue into the weekend. Severe thunderstorms and flash floods are possible for parts of the Northeast and South, New England and South Florida. Meanwhile, the string of record-breaking temperatures will persist for the Southwest and Midwest. Scientists have long warned that climate change, driven by the burning of fossil fuels, will lead to more and prolonged bouts of extreme weather. The prediction for continued excessive heat comes a day after the World Meteorological Organization and the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Service declared July 2023 the hottest month on record. Due to the extreme heat, two of the nation’s largest power grids are under stress, which could affect Americans' ability to cool off. PJM Interconnection declared a level one energy emergency alert for its 13-state grid on Wednesday, meaning the company is concerned about its ability to provide enough electricity. The Midcontinent Independent System Operator, which mostly covers states in the Midwest and Northern Plains, issued a similar alert on Thursday.

Members phkrause Posted August 14, 2023 Author Members Share Posted August 14, 2023 Sun Belt = Heat Belt Illustration: Brendan Lynch/Axios The millions of Americans who migrated to the Sunbelt over the past decade are now stuck in the middle of this summer's brutal and record-breaking heat wave. Why it matters: The country's fastest-growing region is enduring some of the highest temperatures, threatening some of America's most vulnerable people and billions in economic activity, Axios' Sareen Habeshian reports. 🌴 What's happening: America's population — attracted by lower taxes, bigger homes and lower cost of living for retirees — is moving to more vulnerable locations, where the effects of climate change present huge risks. Phoenix set numerous all-time heat records in July. Miami experienced its worst heat wave on record. The big picture: Many of the fastest-growing U.S. metro areas have well-known risks. Some don't have enough water to support their big populations. Others are in the path of hurricanes and other natural disasters. The heat this year — and the prospect of hotter summers in the future — has made those risks ever more apparent. But it hasn't been enough to deter Americans from moving to the region. Over the past decade, the Sunbelt accounted for 75% of U.S. population growth. The region is now home to about 50% of the nation's population. What's next: The issue isn't just about how hot it is now — but about how much hotter it's going to get, and for how long each year, said Parag Khanna, CEO of Climate Alpha, a startup that uses AI to measure climate resilience. Khanna notes there are still climate-resilient options in the Sunbelt, including Raleigh, Charlotte and Dallas.

Members phkrause Posted August 29, 2023 Author Members Share Posted August 29, 2023 Workers exposed to extreme heat have no consistent protection in the US State and federal agencies are scrambling to find measures to combat what experts call one of the harshest and most neglected effects of climate change: heat deaths and injuries of people who work in triple-digit temperatures. These events can occur inside warehouses and kitchens or outside under the blazing sun. Complicating attempts to address the issue is the absence of a national standard for measuring heat deaths. Read more Why this matters: Historic heat waves blasting the U.S. are shining a spotlight on people who work in unforgiving weather. Many are migrants in low-wage jobs. There is no U.S. federal heat standard despite an ongoing push from President Joe Biden’s administration. Most of the hottest states also have failed to establish heat-specific standards. Heat protection laws have faced steady opposition from various industries and supporters such as chambers of commerce and business associations.

Members phkrause Posted September 6, 2023 Author Members Share Posted September 6, 2023 🌐 World's hottest summer Data: ECMWF/ERA5 via Brian Brettschneider. Chart: Axios Visuals The first of many batches of last month's temperature data is in, and it's official: This was likely the hottest August — and hottest summer — on record, Axios' Andrew Freedman writes. Why it matters: The unmistakably large jump in meteorological summer's global average surface temperature compared to past years is a telltale reflection of deadly heat waves and record-warm oceans. According to preliminary data from the Copernicus Climate Change Service's ERA5 data set, the global average surface temperature for June through August was about 1.17°F above the 1991-2020 average. This beat the previous record-hot summer of 2019 by nearly 0.54°F. June and July were each record-hot months. July ranked as the warmest month since the dawn of the instrument era in the 19th century. Zoom in: Numerous U.S. cities set records for hottest summers. Those include: New Orleans, Miami, Baton Rouge, Houston, Corpus Christi and Phoenix. Many others had top-10-warmest summers, including Dallas, Atlanta, Austin, Jacksonville, Albuquerque and Santa Fe. Cities in the Pacific Northwest also had top-10-warmest summers, including Portland and Seattle. Globally, Australia had its warmest winter since reliable records began there in 1910. All-time winter heat records were set in multiple locations in South America, from Brazil to Chile. Europe saw repeated, scorching heat waves that broke all-time seasonal records in Spain, France, Italy, Greece and Switzerland. In Tokyo, daytime highs rose above 86°F every day during August — a first for any month since data began there in 1875. In Japan, August was the hottest month on record.

Members phkrause Posted September 16, 2023 Author Members Share Posted September 16, 2023 😨 Hottest August in 174 years Data: NOAA. Map: Axios Visuals A month of sweltering conditions drove ocean and air temperatures to their hottest August in at least 174 years of record-keeping, Axios' Andrew Freedman reports. Why it matters: "I'm rarely stunned by our findings," Deke Arndt, who directs NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information and has worked on monthly global reports for more than a decade, wrote. "[W]hen the climate monitoring team briefed this, it took me five minutes just to process the magnitude." "It's common to dismiss 174-yr record as blip in geological time," he added. "Fact is, they are the most important, vital 174 yrs in the history of humanity's relationship with the Earth system, when almost everything we know about agriculture and infrastructure was found or refined." What's happening: The planet endured an onslaught of extreme weather and climate disasters this summer — from deadly flooding in Greece and Libya, to deadly heat waves in the U.S. and Europe. Four continents were hottest on record in August: Asia, Africa, North America and South America, NOAA says. 🧮 By the numbers: August data is replete with superlatives. Not only were the planet's oceans the hottest on record, but the margin of the record set a record for largest monthly sea surface temperature anomaly (1.85°F above average). Explore the data.

Members phkrause Posted September 25, 2023 Author Members Share Posted September 25, 2023 🌡️ Sun Belt's summer of records records Data: NOAA. (Summers are ranked by their average June-August temperature. Years in the top 33% are considered above average.) Map: Erin Davis/Axios Visuals Large swaths of the Sun Belt were hit by their hottest meteorological summer — June through August — on record, Axios' Erin Davis and Andrew Freedman rep0rt. Why it matters: The odds and severity of extreme heat events are rapidly increasing as the climate warms in response to human emissions of greenhouse gas. 🔭 Zoom out: This summer was the warmest on record for nearly 5% of the contiguous U.S. It was the hottest June, July and August on record globally. 🔬 Zoom in: The Gulf Coast and New Mexico were particularly hard hit by heat this year. Corpus Christi, Texas, tied or beat 28 daily temperature records. New Orleans and San Antonio each had 26.

Members phkrause Posted September 28, 2023 Author Members Share Posted September 28, 2023 September sets records Data: The Climate Brink via Zeke Hausfather. Chart: Tory Lysik/Axios Visuals This summer featured the hottest days yet recorded worldwide — and we're already seeing some of the hottest temperatures of any fall season, Axios extreme weather expert Andrew Freedman reports. Why it matters: There have been so many temperature records set this year that words we use to describe them — "unprecedented," "record" and "unusual" — are losing their punch. 💡 What's happening: Aided by human actions, Mother Nature appears to have stepped on the temperature accelerator, refusing to slow down. This is being felt by people and ecosystems worldwide, from rapidly bleaching corals in the Florida Keys to the deadly flooding in Libya. Yes, it's getting cooler as summer gives way to fall. But temperatures recently have still been much warmer than the historical average for the end of September. "What makes September so unusual is just how anomalously warm it is relative to what's usual [at] this time of year compared to any prior September or any other month since records began," climate scientist Zeke Hausfather tells Axios by email. 🔮 What's next: 2023 is on track to be the hottest year on record, aided by both human-caused global warming and an El Niño event in the tropical Pacific Ocean, which temporarily adds more heat to the climate. The huge temperature anomalies are likely to be a feature of the next several months as El Niño intensifies. Because El Niño's full effects tend to have a time delay, expect 2024 to be even warmer than this year.
