Bloomberg recently published an article arguing that Hurricane Berrier and other natural disasters that regularly hit the state are symptoms of climate change and that Texas’ pro-fossil fuel policies are partly to blame. [emphasis, links added] Bloomberg’s article is wrong and is a classic example of blaming the victim (like Texas residents) for something 100% beyond their control: the weather. Beryl was not the first hurricane or tropical storm to hit Texassome media reports are just the opposite. Although climate warming is moderate, The data shows there are no worsening trends in hurricanes or other extreme weather events in Texas…

A round of strong to severe storms in the Chicago area, along with extreme heat and flood watches, could affect some outdoor events Monday night, including a large concert planned at Wrigley Field. Journey, Steve Miller Band and Def Leopard are scheduled to perform at Wrigley Field in Chicago on Monday at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are still available, according to the website. Tickets for the event indicate that the show will go on “come rain or shine.” The entire Chicago area will face an “enhanced” severe weather risk Monday afternoon and evening, which is a level three on the Storm…

After the western United States experienced 10 consecutive days of record-breaking high temperatures, the core of extreme heat turned to the East Coast. The new week begins with about 100 million people from Florida to Maine under heat alerts, with relief not expected for several days.Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and much of eastern North Carolina and southeastern Virginia are under the highest heat warning level. In these areas, maximum temperatures are expected to rise to around 100, with heat indexes – a measure of humidity – reaching 105 to 110.Heat warnings (only for slightly less intense heat and humidity) apply to…

Heat isn't the only weather-related issue starting this week in central Iowa. High winds will be one of the main issues. Weather Alert Iowa Weather: Severe storm activity is likely to begin early Monday afternoon. KCCI meteorologist Jon Rivas said the threat of a supercell could cause a variety of severe weather, with damaging wind gusts of 60-80 mph being the main threat. But hail and flooding threats remain low. Will Derejo appear at Iowa State? Wind gusts must also reach 58 mph over much of the path, with gusts exceeding 75 mph. Dangerous heat expected to end Dangerous heat…

Article by Eric Worrell China reports economic growth during a period of declining CO2 emissions – but this is not the first time it has promoted this lie. 'This is good news': Scientists suspect China is about to make history Nick O'MalleyJuly 13, 2024 These reports have been emerging for months, and climate scientists and analysts have been poring over the data. Something unfamiliar is happening. This seems like good news. It may even have profound historical significance. Since the start of the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th century, humans have been emitting increasing amounts of global-warming greenhouse gases…

Live Interactive Radar | Weather Map | Camera | Fox 11 Weather Appwe are storm watch High temperatures and humidity across the state could lead to severe thunderstorms as a cold front approaches today. Right now it looks like the best chances for severe weather are in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois, but we have potential, especially with hot, humid air. A cold front passes through today This brings cool, moist air back to the area. it looks like a beautiful extension Tuesday to weekend.today It looks partly cloudy with scattered thundershowers.

Those scrolling through social media during a heat wave may have come across a tidbit often used to downplay human-caused climate change: Many U.S. states and cities experienced some of their hottest temperatures on record in the 1930s, setting records that remain today. The incredible heat mark that exists. The key context that is often overlooked is that the 1930s was the decade of the Dust Bowl, the horrific result of relentless overdevelopment of the Great Plains, followed by natural ocean circulation that favored years of drought, which coincided with the Great Depression. It was an American catastrophe that was…

A higher-end severe thunderstorm complex is possible somewhere in the Great Lakes region this evening and tonight. The track of this severe storm complex will be the difference between an outbreak of severe severe weather somewhere in Michigan and a big sky show over southern Michigan.The entire severe weather situation later today really comes down to where thunderstorms develop over our western states. The farther west the thunderstorms progress, the more vulnerable southern Michigan will be to severe weather.NOAA's Severe Weather Prediction Office's Storm Prediction Center remains unsure of the exact location of severe thunderstorms late this afternoon. They predict,…

PlayAt the height of the storm, more than 2.7 million power outages were reported.Most of the outages affected CenterPoint Energy customers in Houston and surrounding areas. Hurricane Beryl made landfall in Texas on July 8.Hundreds of thousands of Texans were still without power Monday morning, a week after Beryl made landfall in the state.As of Monday morning, more than 200,000 Texas homes, businesses and other utility customers were still without power, according to PowerOutage.us. Each outage may represent multiple people on an account.Most of the outages were caused by CenterPoint Energy customers. CenterPoint said in an update on Sunday that…

go through: Dr. Thomas Wilder The term “numerical gray zone” may seem abstract to many, but for those involved in atmospheric and ocean modelling, it represents a challenging dilemma. The numerical gray zone describes any numerical model that can resolve processes in some regions but not others, such as mesoscale eddies at low and high latitudes respectively. Mesoscale eddies are high-energy rotating currents with length scales of 10 – 100 kilometers found throughout the global ocean. Similar difficulties surrounding the gray zone arise in convection-permitting atmospheric models. Ocean patterns that allow eddies suffer from this numerical gray area, making accurate…
