SOURCE: SOCIALPSYCHOLOGY.ORGTITLE: Poll Suggests U.S. Adults Are Facing Increased Strain From Extreme Heat
Source: Al Jazeera
A new poll of U.S. adults finds that more are feeling a personal impact from extreme heat, yet a smaller number believe in climate change. The poll, released Thursday by The Associated Press and NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, surveyed 1,165 Americans in late July. According to the survey, 66% of Americans believe climate change is happening, down from 73% last year, but more U.S. adults now say that extreme heat has affected their...

1 in 4 World Cup 2026 matches will occur under heat conditions the players' own union defines as dangerous. Fifteen researchers confirmed it. FIFA scheduled peak WBGT windows at midday — in direct contradiction of those guidelines. The earth doesn't care who won the bid.

NWS HeatRisk for California on July 4th... Mix of Major, Extreme, and if you are lucky just Moderate.
Dark Purple = Extreme
"Extreme - This level of rare and/or long-duration extreme heat with little to no overnight relief affects anyone without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration. Impacts likely in most health systems, heat-sensitive industries and infrastructure."Red = Major
"Major - This level of heat affects anyone without effective cooling and/or adequate hydration. Impacts likely in some health systems, heat-sensitive industries and infrastructure." -
"Over the last 12 months, human-caused #ClimateChange added an average of 26 days of #ExtremeHeat (on average, across all places in the world) than there would have been without a warmed planet.
This report also demonstrates the crucial role of tracking and reporting on impacts in extreme heat assessment, and offers actionable solutions to #HeatRisk."

Millions kept home from school as Southeast Asia swelters under weeks-long heat wave https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/southeast-asia-school-cancellations-philippines-myanmar-1.7187816
Temperature tops 48C in #Myanmar; dozens dead in #Philippines so far this year.
Millions of students in all public schools across the Philippines ordered to stay home after authorities cancelled classes for 2 days... avoid outdoor activities & drink plenty of water, but the young & the elderly were told to be especially careful.
#Cambodia this year is facing the highest temperatures in 170 years. #Thailand's Department of Disease Control said last week > 30 people have died from heat stroke, compared to 37 for all of last year.

UNRWA: Over the past few days, #Gaza has been undergoing an unusual #heatwave This made the already inhumane living conditions even worse for 1.5 million people, mostly living under plastic sheets in #Rafah. We received reports that at least two children died due to the heat.
What more to endure: death, hunger, disease, displacement, and now living in greenhouses-like structures under scorching heat. We cannot afford on top of this misery, a major military operation to go ahead.

AlJazeera: Gaza Civil Defence issues #HeatRisk warning to displaced Palestinians
As temperatures soar in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Civil Defence has warned that conditions are ripe for “the expansion of the spread of epidemics & diseases among [displaced Palestinians], especially among children & pregnant women”.
“Drink plenty of water, try to ventilate the place, keep children away from the sun’s rays, especially at peak heat times, & be sure to wipe their bodies with cold water constantly”, spokesperson Basal said in a statement on Telegram, speaking to the thousands of displaced Palestinians currently sheltering in tents.

NOAA HeatRisk is a new, experimental color coded scheme showing:
How unusual the heat is for the time of the year
The duration of the heat including both daytime and nighttime temperatures
If those temperatures pose an elevated risk of heat-related impacts based on data from the CDC -

The National Weather Service Unveils New 'HeatRisk' Forecasts To Highlight Dangers Of Extreme Heat https://www.damweather.com/2024/04/nws-unveils-new-heatrisk-forecasts-to.html
Heat kills more Americans every year than tornadoes, hurricanes, lightning, & flash floods combined. A new product released by the NWS aims to cut down the tremendous number of heat-related illnesses & fatalities we see across the country every year.
#HeatRisk is the culmination of a joint effort by the NWS & health experts with the Centers for Disease Control...
A widespread heat wave can kill dozens & even hundreds of people without ever making the news.

"The Heat-Health Risk Index is an approach and evidence base that helps us understand the ways that health-risk varies socially and spatially across #Australia.
It uses the latest data and thinking on the social, economic, built, and natural environments to create indicators of how communities are at risk to adverse heat-health outcomes."
