Greeting everyone. It’s good to see you. Across much of the globe, the heat and dry conditions continue to take a heavy toll. The health hazards for all of us enduring this heat can’t be underestimated. This week, I will continue with heat safety infographics for you. As usual, we’ll also take a look at the latest update of the US Drought Monitor as well as heat safety information, so let’s get started.
- In the climate change denialism arena, the bizarre antics just got more weird. Unfortunately, students, who are beginning to learn about how our world works, are taking an intellectual hit.
- As of this post, wildfires in Hawaii have killed dozens of people. What causes these deadly wildfires in Maui and why were they so deadly?
- In spite of a relatively calm Atlantic season, the 2023 Atlantic hurricane outlook has been revised by NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center to an above average season in tropical cyclone activity.
- With the recent update to the Atlantic hurricane season in mind, now is the time to prepare for the storm you hope never impacts where you live.
- A report from the World Meteorological Organization confirms what many have suspected. July 2023 was the hottest month ever recorded.
- Here’s the latest update on the US Drought Monitor. Across much of the plains states and northwest, severe to exceptional drought conditions continue to spread.
HEAT SAFETY
- As heat waves have been in the headlines around the northern hemisphere, the human toll can’t be ignored. 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.
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. With Twitter (NOW OFFICIALLY KNOWN AS “X”) in disarray and automated posts now a thing of the past, warnings from your local National Weather Service office won’t be in your timeline. Now more than ever, you need a good quality NOAA weather radio.
