Although the level of moisture flowing through the sky doesn’t have a one-to-one relationship with rainfall amounts, having more moisture can boost the odds for rainfall extremes, if there’s a force to squeeze that moisture out, such as the cluster of thunderstorms that hit the #GrandCanyon. This weekend, there was an additional force at play. Moisture from the remnants of #TropicalStorm #Iselle was flowing across the West, siphoned inland by a #HeatDome & further waterlogging the atmosphere.

Bad News in Bad Times. Second Heat Wave 👈 ! Heading to Europe. 👈 ! Call out the armies. Europe is at War. The world is at war with collapse, crop loss, vast ongoing drought, forests burning on 6 continents. Exxon Heat killed 20,000 in Europe in June. SECOND EXXON HEAT DOME COMING TO EUROPE. And the first climate heat fires are not out. This is a crisis. WW3 is against Climate Collapse #climate #heatDome #wildfires #europe #war #news

“We are experiencing exactly what the climate models in the 1990s said we should experience now... ... more frequent, more severe #heatwaves, bigger temperature anomalies, more humidity, higher overnight temperatures... all part and parcel of the climate story" ~ #ClimateCentral org The 3rd major #HeatDome in a month is set to hit southern & central U.S.. Temperatures of 95-105F (35-40C) are expected -- potentially reaching 120F (48C) in some areas. #ClimateChange

@StaceyCornelius@zeroes.ca Apologies for the belated reply: No matter what settings I fiddle with, iOS refuses to give me notifications for Signal! 😡 I hope your temps dropped as expected. Here in AB we're suffering along the the edge of the larger #HeatDome in the US. Hellishly hot AND humid days with frequent high probability of tornado-spawning storms many nights. 😱 Thankfully family allowed me to have a portable AC from an elder who passed earlier in the year, so I am able to maintain my bedroom at manageable levels of heat (still above my personal sleep sweet-spot of 14°C but waaaaaaayyyyy better than 28° or higher!). Normally it's not especially humid here. I just discovered HOW humid (in practical terms) it is when I was trending low on blood sugars and grabbed the tin of hard candies I sometimes have for that. THE POWDERED SUGAR HAS MELTED INTO AN AMAZINGLY EFFECTIVE ADHESIVE! 😳😳😳 For a minute, I thought I was going to need a literal can opener to get to the contents! 😱

The #smoke is spreading so widely because the same #HeatDome that has led to brutally high temperatures in the #Midwest & the #Northeast has trapped the smoke close to the ground. By the weekend, as another weather system pushes the hottest #air away, the #heat & the smoke are expected to ease in the Northeast, forecasters said. But closer to the #wildfires, the smoke is likely to linger longer. #PublicHealth #pollution #ExtremeWeather #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis

Meanwhile, Environment and Climate Change Canada is forecasting 2026 to be one of the hottest years on record. Ontario and Quebec are currently roasting under a #heatdome. PM Carney "also admitted that in prioritizing oil production, Canada is moving further away from achieving its climate targets and that emissions would likely be higher than forecasted." 3/6 #CdnPoli #Climate #EnergySovereignty #Renewables

Being in #Lisbon during a #heatdome is less than ideal. We're mostly spending afternoons indoors with A/C. I am pretty impressed with this article and the instructions from the government. You wouldn't see this kind of detail in a lot of places in North America. https://theportugalpost.com/posts/portugals-heat-emergency-red-alerts-activated-cooling-centers-open-what-residents-must-know-now #heatwave

Alright friends, we worked to get this out today at what is for most of you the beginning of one of the hottest weeks in your region. We're used to living through temperatures sometimes as high as 126 F and often over 110 -- and we've learned a lot. Not a single one of these tips involves running your air conditioner or making expensive alterations to your home, because we understand that all of us are living through climate change with whatever resources we currently hold and nothing more. Stay cool and hydrated, friends! https://rancholibertad.com/how-to-live-garden-through-extreme-heat/ #Gardening #ClimateChange #ClimateJustice #ExtremeHeat #HeatDome #HeatWave #ClimateCrisis #CliimateAction

How to Live & Garden Through Extreme Heat

While our Ranch is located near Joshua Tree, our microclimate is definitively harsher than the town of the same name. Our temps can soar into the 120's fahrenheit during the summer, with a high UV index comparative to much of the US and very few shade opportunities. We're

Having worked in renewables, thinking about solar panel efficiency in the face of deadly #heatdome. Ideal temp for optimal efficiency /output is 25°C or 77°F. Noticeable efficiency losses happen above 35°C (95°F). ALL forms of energy production are stressed at these temps overtake the planet. = $$$. High pressure lowers wind output. Nuclear plants need cool H20. Each rise in °C above ambient 37 °C needed in a gas plant = 1.47 MW loss in output. #Climatechange Links following:

We have friends in Delhi, and they were very worried about us here at the weekend because of the heat, and now they’re sending us ceiling fans (the best ones), which have always served them well, and I’m grateful to have friends like that who know how to cope with such temperatures, because everyone here is at their wits’ end. #Delhi #Berlin #Hitze #HeatDome #ClimateDiary
