Excessive warmth has been ravaging North America, Europe, and Asia this summer season. We’re amassing information, but once more, and the worst factor is that we all know that is solely the start … summer season warmth of in the present day will seem like a cushty, cool breeze in a few many years. However, sure, let’s not even go there, as a result of this summer season has been unhealthy sufficient (and it’s not even midway over).

Already again in Might, Reuters reported, “Meteorologists say a weather phenomenon known as a ‘heat dome’ has trapped hot air over the southern Gulf of Mexico and northern Central America, causing temperatures to soar to 45 degrees Celsius (113 degrees Fahrenheit) in some areas. Between May 12 and May 21, authorities said 22 people died from heat-related causes, adding to a total of 48 deaths since March 17. In comparison, during the same period in 2022 and 2023, heat waves claimed the lives of two and three people, respectively.”

Mexico has been struggling by means of one of many worst heatwaves in its historical past during the last two weeks, shattering dozens of all-time information with no indicators of letting up.

Big hat tip to DailyKos for that assortment of tweets.

In the meantime, over in Delhi, India, the capital city of famously hot India set a new heat record in Might, earlier than summer season formally arrived, reaching 52.3 levels Celsius (Fahrentheit)! “The highest temperature ever recorded in India has been recorded. According to the national Indian meteorological authority IMD, 52.3 degrees Celsius were recorded on Wednesday afternoon in Mungeshpur, a suburb in the Indian capital region of Delhi, which has been hit by a heat wave. The previous record for India was 51 degrees: it was measured in 2016 in the desert region of Phalodi in the state of Rajasthan,” TA International writes.

And down in Venezuela, the country lost its last glacier — in early Might.

Then, this previous Sunday, the world — the Earth as an entire — reached its hottest day on record. However that was quick lived, as the record was broken again the next dayon Monday.

“According to preliminary data from the European Union’s Copernicus Climate Change Servicethe global average temperature reached 17.15 degrees Celsius (62.87 degrees Fahrenheit) on Monday, toppling the prior day’s record of 17.09 C.” So, not solely was it a brand new document, it was a reasonably sharp rise over the earlier document.

As I used to be going to get the graph for this, although, I seen one thing else. Tuesday’s knowledge is now in, and Tuesday was even hotter than Monday! So, for the third day in a row, it was the most well liked day on document.

Additionally, whereas these rises in document temperature could not seem to be loads on the floor, keep in mind that these symbolize international averages. The extra excessive circumstances in varied areas will probably be way more … excessive. Additionally, one metereologist defined it nicely with a very good old school metaphor: “Let’s say your body temperature went up half a degree, that wouldn’t worry you if you’re 98.6 F, but if you’re already 103 F, that extra half a degree is really unsettling,” meteorologist Bob Henson said.

Temperatures in Fairbanks, Alaska, have been forecast to hit 90 degrees Fahrenheit (32 levels Celsius) yesterday. Earlier in July, Las Vegas “saw five straight days with a high temperature of 115 degrees Fahrenheit or more, breaking the old record of four consecutive days set in July 2005, per The Guardian. It also hit a record high of 120 degrees on July 7.”

And if you happen to suppose warmth is one thing we are able to deal with with air-con and water, be aware that warmth kills extra folks within the US than each different catastrophe you may suppose up. “The National Weather Service reports that heat has been the leading cause of weather-related deaths in our country for at least 30 years. On average, heat has killed more people during the past three decades than floods, lightning, and hurricanes combined,” TCD writes.

June was the 13th month in a row to set a brand new warmth document for the month. We may be positive July would be the 14th month in a row.

I don’t know what tales we’re going to see in coming days about document human deaths, dying animals, and excessive climate occasions from this document warmth wave. However we may be positive they’re coming.

The planet, our residence, is getting cooked. And we’re clearly not doing sufficient to cease it.

World heating is right here. What are we going to do about it?
