WMO warns El Nino will intensify as Europe faces extreme weather

Urban areas are hotter than forests. EU’s Copernicus satellites recorded a difference of about 23°C on land surfaces in the most affected areas of Europe during last week’s heatwave. We’re committed to planting 3 billion trees by 2030 and promoting sustainable living through the European Bauhaus.

Breaking News! Code Yikes! The June Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature anomaly came in at 1.59°C above the 1991-2020 baseline, so we're already in a strong El Nino. The latest CFSv2 model runs now show the Nino 3.4 SST anomaly forecast peaking at 4.10°C in November.

Humans need food, water, air, and a moderate climate to survive. "Barrett said the global food industry is facing a "really unpleasant layer cake" of pressures, from tariffs and extreme weather to higher prices on labor, fuel and fertilizer." This is a big problem. 🧵

Europe's brutal heatwave wreaks havoc: Roads & traffic lights melt, schools shut, rail tracks buckle | Watch (Europe needs to use products that we in Canada use, this does not happen here during our heatwaves) www.cnbctv18.com/world/europe...

⚰️Five years ago a #heatwave in BC *killed over 600 people*. The recent heatwave in Europe may have killed 20,000. Power has gone out for thousands during a heatwave in Eastern Canada. And today Canadian politicians are announcing yet more subsidies for fossil fuel extraction 🤮😠 #cdnpoli #bcpoli

El Niño : l’ONU alerte sur un épisode de forte intensité augmentant les risques de phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes dans le monde

Europe's most extreme heatwave so far - there will be worse - has been estimated by @ccallahan45.bsky.social to have killed 20,000 🧪 This estimate is based on past studies of the relation between heat and deaths in Europe #climate www.newscientist.com/article/2532...

France records 2,025 excess deaths at peak of heatwave as Europe braces for more extreme weather . This is the new normal, folks www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Their analysis uses Wet Bulb Global Temperature which helps measure the strain on the human body through a combination of heat, humidity, sunlight, and wind. It matters because heat is the leading weather killer. Just last week 1000s of people died in #Europe due to the #heatwave #climatechange 3/

Europe record-breaking June heatwave killed at least 2000 people in France and Spain alone #climatecrisis www.theguardian.com/environment/...

“climate change may make El Niño events stronger when they do take place” My Bouviers don’t know how much is El Niño or climate change, but they’re dying to go for long walks until they get outside and then, they’re dying to come back to the artificial AC weather in our home. Same, pups. Same.

Climate denial often exploits the line that “weather isn’t climate.” True, but climate change is shifting the odds, intensity and frequency of extreme weather. What term best captures this link between long-term climate change and today’s weather extremes? 1/2

Philly has canceled today’s parade b/c of the extreme heat. It’s no surprise, our elected leaders refuse to connect all this extreme weather to the climate crisis. White Baby Boomers elected these people, in part, due to their refusal to take climate change seriously. White Boomers did all this.

“The extreme heat currently being felt in Europe isn’t the new normal – much worse is to come, and we are doing far too little to adapt, says Michael Le Page" "If you aren't terrified by this heatwave, you should be" www.newscientist.com/article/2531...

Here’s the updatet overview of the #temperature extremes during the historic June #heatwave. According to the data (use with caution), new all-time extremes appear to have been reached across much of Central #Europe, while the highest temperatures were recorded across Western Europe.
