Humanity will likely experience new record-breaking extreme heat across the world this year due to the combination of cliamte change and the strong El Niño forming. This is our heatshed moment to act!

📢 This is our “heatshed” moment. Check out my new commentary with @SaraMeerow in the Journal of Urban Affairs' special issue on Extreme Heat in Cities. We argue that we are in a critical moment in history where heat mitigation, management, and governance should be an urgent priority to ensure thriving communities in the face of an overheating world.

Global heatwaves are intensifying due to climate change, causing extreme temperatures, droughts, wildfires, and health risks, affecting ecosystems, economies, and daily life across the world, demanding urgent global action now.

#ExtremeHeat is cutting the time people can safely be active #outdoors
Using #globalheat, #humidity and demographic data, scientists found that sweltry conditions now limit light physical activity for #adults ages 18 to 40 for about 50 hours a year, on average. That’s double what young adults faced from 1950 to 1979. Meanwhile, adults over 65 now experience an average of about 900 hours of activity-limiting conditions each year.

Climate Extremes: A Divergent Picture Emerges

Are hot and cold extremes declining in the US? See regional data and scientific debate on temperature changes since 1899.

#ClimateData, #USWeather, #ExtremeHeat, #ColdSnap, #ClimateScience

https://newsletter.tf/us-heat-cold-extremes-mixed-regional-trends/

New data shows mixed trends for US temperature extremes. While some regions see fewer heatwaves, others experience more, and cold snaps are less frequent than in the past.

BBC: Japan reveals new name for 40C-and-hotter days after blistering summer

Japan has unveiled a new name for days that reach 40C (104F) or above, after the country experienced its hottest summer on record last year.

The term - kokushobi - has been translated as "cruelly hot", "brutally hot" or "severely hot"
