Forecasters predict #wildfires, #floods, severe #heatwaves from incoming #ElNiño
Ocean heat plus human-caused #globalwarming is a grim recipe for deadly #climate extremes.
El Niño is the warm phase of a semi-regular temperature oscillation in the tropical Pacific Ocean, during which massive amounts of heat stored in the ocean are released into the atmosphere, temporarily raising the average annual global surface temperature by as much as 0.3 Fahrenheit.

LA Times: Air conditioning battery program for renters could help cities manage heat waves

"...NEW YORK — When a heat wave hits, millions of air conditioners switch on at once, straining the electric grid and driving up the risk of outages — and residents’ power bills. To ease that strain, power companies may ask customers to do something many probably won’t: Set the air conditioner a few degrees higher....Now, a renter-friendly pilot program in New York City is testing a different approach: plug-in batteries that can power air conditioners during peak demand, helping ease pressure on the grid at its most stressed moments while still keeping residents cool....Every Electric’s program works specifically for people with window AC units, who are typically renters. It reduces demand by using stored battery power. ..."

European State of the Climate 2025 report published

Warming is reducing #snow and #ice cover, while dangerously high surface air temperatures, #drought, and #heatwaves, as well as record-high #ocean temperatures, are affecting regions across the continent, from the #Arctic to the #Mediterranean. The result is increasing impacts – from record heatwaves over land and at sea, to devastating #wildfires, and accelerating #biodiversity loss – with consequences for #societies and #ecosystems across #Europe.  

The #ESOTC report is produced by the #EU’s #Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), implemented by #ECMWF, and the World Meteorological Organization (#WMO), and brings together the work of around 100 scientific contributors.

The warming El Nino weather phenomenon, which pushed global temperatures to record highs the last time around, is expected to return in the middle of 2026. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/04/24/el-nino-warming-return/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #elnino #climatechange #heatwaves #un

The oceans are beginning to amplify the warming they once absorbed. 🧵

A stratified ocean implies:
• Hotter heatwaves and stronger storms, as trapped heat and increased evaporation fuels atmospheric extremes
• Collapsing marine productivity, from oxygen loss, acidification, and nutrient starvation
• Rising seas, through thermal expansion and ice melt
• Increasing rainfall intensity, reshaping food and water security
• Fueling tropical cyclones and hurricanes

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"

Starting this summer, Japan's weather agency will begin referring to days with temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius with a new name — "kokushobi," a description that translates as "severely hot day." https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/04/17/japan/japan-severely-hot-day/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #meteorologicalagency #heatwaves

#KnowledgeBit: #ClimateChange and #Heatwaves are increasing Incidents of Wet-bulb Temperatures.

The theoretical limit to human survival for more than a few hours in the shade, even with unlimited water, is a wet-bulb temperature of 35°C (95°F) - theoretically equivalent to a heat index of 70°C (160°F), though the heat index does not go that high.

Has the climate affected your health?

Have you been to a hospital for wildfire smoke inhalation? Have you experienced exhaustion or suffered from a heat wave? Have you or a loved one felt ill or experienced asthma from air pollution? Have you been evacuated from floods or fires and needed mental health support?

Ontario and climate investigations reporter Carl Meyer is looking to connect with people who have experienced health issues that may be related to a changing climate. If you’d like to share your story with Carl for potential inclusion in an upcoming feature, please get in touch with him at [email protected].

Australian governments subsidising fossil fuel use by more than $30,000 a minute, analysis finds

"Australian federal and state government subsidies that encourage fossil fuel use and help drive the climate crisis will reach $16.3bn this year after leaping by nearly 10%, according to a new analysis."

"It found federal and state governments will pay or forgo the equivalent of $31,020 each minute in 2025-26 to subsidise companies producing and using coal, gas and especially oil, mostly in the form of diesel." >>

Destroying Australia's biodiversity

"The decisions of our political leaders, who continue to approve fossil fuel project expansions and widespread land clearing and habitat destruction, are coming home to roost in ever more predictable, catastrophic and emotionally confronting ways. "

"There is a tragic inevitability about what ... bats – and, indeed, countless other species – confront in this “new normal”. If we continue to destroy their habitats, and politicians wave through yet more coal and gas approvals, even more mass mortality events could be a matter of when, not if."

"There was a time when the dire potential consequences of climate change and environmental destruction were warnings, calls from scientists and experts for increased and urgent action. Now an unsettling possibility feels like a disturbing reality...We must change course."
