“We are experiencing exactly what the climate models in the 1990s said we should experience now...
... more frequent, more severe #heatwaves, bigger temperature anomalies, more humidity, higher overnight temperatures... all part and parcel of the climate story" ~ #ClimateCentral org
The 3rd major #HeatDome in a month is set to hit southern & central U.S.. Temperatures of 95-105F (35-40C) are expected -- potentially reaching 120F (48C) in some areas.

Was that #ClimateChange ? Scientists ponder a deadly July 4 weekend
by Dinah Voyles Pulver, USA TODAY Jul 8, 2026
"Early July brought historic #ExtremeWeather for the fourth year in a row, and scientists again see the 'fingerprints' of climate change in a deadly Fourth of July.
"In 2023, it was a record-smashing #HeatWave. In 2024, history-making #HurricaneBeryl ripped through the Caribbean. In 2025, a shockingly deadly #flood. And in 2026? Another deadly #heatwave.
"Days later, the heat warnings have finally faded for much of the eastern United States, but the grim number of heat-related deaths continues to rise.
"At least 44 deaths have been reported as a result of the July 1 to July 4 heat wave, but it will be weeks or months before researchers finalize an estimate of the number of people who died or suffered injuries as a result of the extreme heat.
"More than 1,300 heat records were matched or broken for maximum high temperatures and warm overnight lows across 40 states and territories over the four days.
"Though summer heat isn't new, the heat wave of July 2026 is something different.
"From June 29 to July 5, 201 million Americans experienced at least one day when climate change made high temperatures at least three times more likely, #ShelWinkley, chief meteorologist at #ClimateCentral, told USA TODAY. Temperatures on July 3 had 'a very strong fingerprint of climate change,' he said, affecting 136 million Americans."

July is the hottest month for the U.S. — and it's getting hotter. Since 1970, July has warmed by 2.6°F on average in 94% of 243 U.S. cities analyzed.

Winter getting shorter in 80% of major US cities, new data shows
Researchers find that across 195 US cities, winters are on average nine days shorter than they were in 1970-1997 according to
new data released by #ClimateCentral, an independent #climatescience & communication group
“A shorter winter doesn’t mean no winter,” #MathewBarlow professor of climate science at the #University of #Massachusetts Lowell

Trump killed a crucial disaster database.
#ClimateCentral resurrected one of the most prominent of those lost records: #NOAA’s billion-dollar disaster database. The tool allowed policymakers, insurers, and regular people to track how hurricanes, floods, and other catastrophes are growing more expensive — until the agency said in May that it would no longer update the database “in alignment with evolving priorities, statutory mandates, and staffing changes.”

#Climate disasters in first half of 2025 costliest ever on record, research shows
#LA #wildfires and storms cost $101bn, new study by non-profit resurrecting work axed by Trump says
In first 6mo of #2025, 14 separate #weather disasters each caused at least $1bn in damage hit #US, #ClimateCentral calculated. In total, these events cost $101bn – lost homes, businesses, highways and other infrastructure – higher than any other first half of year since records began in 1980.

Urban Heat Hot Spots in 65 Cities
"Six cities had at least 1 million people exposed to an UHI index of 8°F or higher — meaning that those neighborhoods feel at least 8°F more heat because of the local built environment."

#SeaLevelRise with annual flooding will impact residents in the Vancouver area by year 2100. A 10% increase from previous estimates.
UN #IPCC projects 0.5 metre sea level rise by 2050.
#ClimateCentral reports: nearly all of Richmond (including YVR airport) and large parts of Delta and Surrey B.C. will lie below land flood levels. Even below existing dikes.

Add another heat record to the pile: Earth is historically and alarmingly hot. Now what?
Story by Dinah Voyles Pulver, USA TODAY
November 13, 2023"Global average temperatures reached new highs over the past 10-12 months, notching new records in the steady march of a warming climate, two national groups announced last week.
"It's been warmer than at any time in recorded history and was likely warmer than any other time in 125,000 years, an analysis by #ClimateCentral concluded. The #Copernicus Climate Change said it's also 'virtually certain' that 2023 will be the hottest year in recorded history.
"If these and other announcements detailed below sound familiar, it’s because heat-related records are being set and broken, over and over again, month after month and year after year in cities, states and countries around the world.
"None of this should be surprising, said Andrew Pershing, vice president for science at Climate Central, a nonprofit that reports climate change news. 'We should expect to set records because we live on a warming planet. We have too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.'
"Heat – and cold – records have been set since people first started keeping track of temperatures, but today warm records occur far more often than cold records, and in dizzying variety. Individually they're not always attention-grabbing, but considered en masse, they present a piercing look at how steadily rising temperatures affect how we live, work and play.
"All of the warming is 'in line with earlier predictions,' says #MichaelMann, author of the new book '#OurFragileMoment' and a professor of Earth and environmental science at the University of Pennsylvania. 'Some of the impacts however, such as #ExtremeWeather events, are exceeding the predictions."

Humanity just lived through the hottest 12 months in at least 125,000 years
The period from Nov 2022 to end of Oct 2023 was the hottest 12 months, with an average temperature of 1.32 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, according to an analysis of international data, published Thursday by the nonprofit research group #ClimateCentral. The strong, long-term trend of #globalwarming is primarily driven by the burning of #fossilfuels.

[Slideshow] A look at Earth in 2050 if #ClimateChange isn't stopped
Story by Zeleb.es
"Many scientific reports estimate that temperatures could rise by 3°C in the next thirty years, which would cause sea levels to rise all over the world. To make us aware of the #ClimateEmergency we find ourselves in, scientists at #ClimateCentral have imagined what some iconic places on our planet could look like if we do not act."
