Greeting everyone and thanks for stopping by. Across the Northern Hemisphere, summer heat continues to take its toll around the globe. The health hazards for all of us enduring this heat can’t be underestimated. This week, I’ll have heat safety infographics and the heat index for you. Heat is the leading weather related killer that isn’t associated with thunderstorms. We’ll also take a look at the latest update of the US Drought Monitor. This week’s focus will be on heat safety.
- The daytime isn’t the only time when heat is dangerous. Nighttime heat can have substantial effects.
- Here is this weeks update on the USA Drought Monitor. Conditions east of the Mississippi river have improved a great deal. Extreme drought conditions continue for several areas in the midwest and central plains.
HEAT SAFETY
- As the severe weather season in 2023 continues, heat waves have settles in across much of North America and Europe. Heat is a highly underrated killer that is responsible for more fatalities in the USA every year than tornadoes, hurricanes, flooding, winter cold, and lightning. I will also continue to share an essential read on severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and related hazards in an excellent 20 page PDF file from the National Weather Service…”Thunderstorms, Tornadoes, and Lightning. Nature’s Most Violent Storms.”
This important infographic focuses on winter weather and social media. However, it also applies to ANY weather conditions that occur years round regardless of where you live. Remember that your NOAA weather radio, local NWS Office, and the broadcast meteorologists of your choice are always the best choices for all types of weather…from clement to life threatening situations.
