Great start to the week in Bangkok at the Global Heat Health Information Network Global Heat Forum. Yesterday kicked off with a full day alongside my fellow GHHIN Management Committee members and the Regional Steering Committees, discussing where the network goes next. Today we officially kicked off the full Forum, and I had the honor of presenting the results of our chapter on long-term planning and governance from the WMO Heat Health Synthesis Report.

It's incredible to see how much the global heat community has grown and inspiring to be with so many people from around the world working to protect communities from extreme heat. Looking forward to the conversations and collaborations the rest of the week will bring!

Yikes! Maybe shut down those #Datacenters, eh?

"Extreme October heat is straining Southern California’s power system as thousands of customers face outages and firefighters battle a wildfire in #LosAngelesCounty.

Southern California Edison and other power providers urged customers to conserve electricity as triple-digit temperatures increase demand for air conditioning. Edison warned that extreme heat could increase the likelihood of temporary outages.

About 23,000 customers were without power in Los Angeles County at the peak of outages from Sunday into Monday morning. That number fell below 11,000 by midmorning Monday. Outages were also reported in Orange and San Bernardino counties.

Edison’s outage map listed fire, weather and other causes for service disruptions."
