A fierce heatwave is sweeping across southern Europe, with warnings of record-breaking temperatures

Temperatures are expected to surpass 40C (104F) in parts of Spain, France, Greece, Croatia and Turkey.

In Italy, temperatures could reach as high as 48.8C (119.8F). A red alert warning has been issued for 10 cities, including Rome, Bologna and Florence.

The Cerberus heatwave – named by the Italian Meteorological Society after the three-headed monster that features in Dante’s Inferno – is expected to bring more extreme conditions in the next few days.

It isn’t just Europe that is hot. This summer has seen temperature records smashed in parts of Canada and the US as well as across a swathe of Asia including in India and China.

Sea temperatures in the Atlantic have hit record highs while Antarctic sea ice is at the lowest extent ever recorded.
And it is going to get hotter.

A weather pattern called El Niño is developing in the tropical Pacific. It tends to drive up temperatures by around 0.2C on average.

Add in the roughly 1.1C that climate change has pushed average temperatures up by worldwide and it’s perilously close to the 1.5C threshold the world has agreed to try and keep global temperatures below.

Too HOT and HUMID to Live: Extreme Wet Bulb Events Are on the Rise https://paranormalactivity.org/too-hot-and-humid-to-live-extreme-wet-bulb-events-are-on-the-rise/ https://paranormalactivity.org/too-hot-and-humid-to-live-extreme-wet-bulb-events-are-on-the-rise/#comments Tue, 09 May 2023 18:01:18 +0000 https://paranormalactivity.org/too-hot-and-humid-to-live-extreme-wet-bulb-events-are-on-the-rise/

As climate change continues warming the planet, a new and invisible killer is emerging: extreme wet bulb temperatures. This refers to a potentially lethal combination of heat and humidity that, until now, have appeared somewhat infrequently around the world. But models predict that they are likely to become an increasingly big problem in the coming years.

In this episode we explore the intersection between climate science and meteorology to tell you where in the world is most at risk of these increasingly dangerous conditions.

Weathered is a show hosted by weather expert Maiya May and produced by Balance Media that helps explain the most common natural disasters, what causes them, how they’re changing, and what we can do to prepare.

Climate Change, Chaos, and The Little Ice Age – Crash Course World History 206 https://paranormalactivity.org/climate-change-chaos-and-the-little-ice-age-crash-course-world-history-206/ https://paranormalactivity.org/climate-change-chaos-and-the-little-ice-age-crash-course-world-history-206/#comments Thu, 21 Aug 2014 23:29:57 +0000 http://paranormalactivity.org/climate-change-chaos-and-the-little-ice-age-crash-course-world-history-206/

In which John Green teaches you about the Little Ice Age. The Little Ice Age was a period of global cooling that occurred from the 13th to the 19th centuries. This cooling was likely caused by a number of factors, including unusual solar activity and volcanic eruptions. The Little Ice Age greatly impacted human social orders, especially during the 17th century. When the climate changed, and the weather became unpredictable, the world changed profoundly. Poor harvests led to hunger, which led to even less productivity, which even resulted in violent upheaval in a lot of places. All this from a little change in the temperature? Definitely.
