@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

This past week many many all time record high temperatures were registered across Europe (black dots with a white cross). You can see the #heatdome shifting to the north-east by tracking them. Source: https://coolwx.com/record/europemovie.week.php #climate

3 days during Maryland heat dome event. HVAC used 41kWh + 15kWh, so 56kWh with heat pumps keeping the house at 75f. My personal data center used 78kWh 😆 But it was all solar powered....and my neighbors too! #solar #heatdome #renewables #hvac #airconditioning #energy

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:

Next up - The Guardian references energy output in the face of rising temps and how this turns into higher bills for consumer. #Heatdome #ClimateChange https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/jun/23/electricity-prices-jump-in-europe-as-demands-soars-in-the-heatwave

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

WaPo: "...A dangerous heat dome is expected to intensify over the Eastern United States this week, pushing temperatures into the triple digits and probably breaking hundreds of records across three dozen states. The risk for heat-related impacts is forecast to reach major or extreme levels for more than 220 million Americans in total through Saturday, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration..." #heatwave #USwx #heatdome #climateemergency

#Hitze ist eine #naturkatastrophe und längst kein toller #sommer mehr. Aber sie ist eine #katastrophe mit dem Unterschied, dass bei Hochwasser jeder #politiker seine Gummistiefel rauskramt und betroffen in Kameras und Mikrophone spricht. Bei Hitze aber der angeblich wieder ins seriöse Fach gewechselte Markus #Soder ein Bild von sich im Freibad postet und sagt: "Bei Hitze hilft Schwimmengehen." Ernsthaft?“ 😟 #cdu #csu #spd #Politikversagen #heatdome #sondersendungen #merzleckeier #merz #kanzler #klimakatastrophe #deutschland https://www.tagesschau.de/kommentar/klima-hitze-bund-laender-100.html

Wer dachte, die Hitze wäre vorbei. In wenigen Tagen kommt schon die zweite Hitzewelle. Das doofe ist, sie könnte sogar noch länger dauern. Nach ECMWF-Angaben geht es etwa ab 6. Juli los und hält mindestens 1 Woche. 🇪🇸🇵🇹 Spanien & Portugal: Temperatur könnte Werte zwischen 44 und 46°C erreichen. 🇫🇷 Frankreich: Im Südwesten liegt wieder das Zentrum dieser neuen Hitzewelle. Temperaturen zwischen 43 und 45°C erwartet. 🇩🇪 Deutschland: Locker wieder 38 bis 41°C. 🇬🇧 Großbritannien: Auch über England rollt die Hitzewelle mit 34 bis 37°C hinweg. Europa brutzelt doppelt so schnell wie der globale Durchschnitt. Die erste Hitzewelle war nur der Auftakt. #hitze #Hitzewelle #HeatDome #Heatwave #ECMWF #ClimateCrisis #ExtremeWeather #klimakatastrophe

RE: https://assortedflotsam.com/@NewsBot/116826860785054747 Warum schaffen es die Leute in *Korea*, unsere Hitzewelle hier schon im Titel als "tödlich" zu benennen, aber die Medien hier bleiben selbst tief im Artikel allzu oft auf dem Niveau "Hurrah, Freibadwetter" stehen? Wo ist unser Framing? #Hitzewelle #DeadlyHeatwave #HitzeTötet #RaubErhitzerSindVerbrecher #HeatDome #BackofenEuropa
