Europe’s hottest ever temperature recorded on Italy’s largest island – Sicily
Climate Change | Mediterranean | Italy | Sicily
Fact Box: Wild Fires are common in the Mediterranean, yet summer 2021 has seen record high temperatures and the most intense fires on record spreading from Turkey, across Greece, the Balkan States, North Africa and Italy and the Italian islands.
Siracusa (also called Syracuse in some countries), a large city on the southeast coast of Italy’s infamous southern island Sicily (Sicilia/Isula di Sicula) recorded Europe’s highest ever air temperature on Wednesday. The temperature of 48.8 C has now been recorded as the highest air temperature ever formally recorded in Europe.
The record breaks the 1977 record of 48.0 recorded in Greece’s Athens.
The record currently being verified by the (WMO) World Meteorological Organisation comes as Italy, Algeria, the Balkans, Greece and Turkey are experiencing the most intense wild fires in recorded history.
Fact Box: Air Temperature is the temperature thermometers usually record and is what it sounds like, the temperature of the air itself. Real Feel or Human Perceived temperature is the temperature experienced by human skin when taking the air temperature, humidity and wind speed into consideration. iPhones’ weather applications often give the Real Feel temperature along side or under neither the air temperature. In cold conditions this is colloquially known as the ‘wind chill’. In hotter conditions the Real Feel is typically higher than the air temperature and can be significantly so. Oman for example frequently sees Real Feel temperatures in access of 14-20 C higher than the air temperature.
Randy Cerveny, a representative from the WMO initially told Sky news that the recording didn’t sound realistic and was suspicious requiring investigation. However it is now looking likely that this is Europe’s new highest ever recorded temperature.
The high pressure system currently over the Mediterranean is near the all time recorded high levels, causing unprecedented heat and wild fires.
Jeff Masters of Yale Climate Connections said the near-record strength high pressure system is likely to produce unprecedented heat somewhere in the Mediterranean, with North Africa’s temperatures nearing all time recorded highs.
Francesco Italia, the mayor of Siracusa told La Repubblica that the record:
“worries us. We are devastated by the fires and our ecosystem, one of the richest and more precious in Europe, is at risk. We are in full emergency.”
More than 3’000 fire fighting operations involving multiple fighter fighting aircraft have been conducted just in Sicily and Calabria is the last 12 hours alone.

It’s not really springtime in Nebraska until you’ve had your first big night of severe weather, and Wayne County residents experienced an extended shot of it Monday.
Early in the afternoon, heavy rains and hail pelted the Wakefield area, a precursor to what would happen later in the evening as severe thunderstorms rolled through the area, dropping heavy rains and pea-to-nickel size hail throughout the area.
Winside firefighters had just finished their monthly meeting Monday evening when they turned to the south and saw a tail dancing off in the distance. The tornado appeared to have touched down in northeastern Stanton County about six miles south of town, according to Winside firefighter Brian Petzoldt.
“We had just finished our meeting and a couple of the guys were leaving and they looked out and saw the funnel cloud,” he said. “Don Skokan and I went south and they said it stalled out somewhere near Maskenthine Lake.”
Petzoldt said there had been no indication on radar that a tornado was forming, and he said they were fortunate that the one they were watching ran out of energy.
“As soon as we got to the curve (south of Winside on Highway 35), we could see it forming and searching for some instability in the air, and it was a good thing it didn’t happen.”
Severe thunderstorms were the only thing Wayne residents experienced, as heavy rains and pea-sized hail fell on the city over about a 90-minute period, prompting two severe thunderstorm warnings by the National Weather Service.

As global warming intensifies, polar ice caps are melting more rapidly. This is causing average sea levels to rise dramatically.
The Earth’s climate has changed drastically over millions of years but today, human activity is accelerating global warming at an unprecedented rate.
Sea levels continue to rise due to these three primary factors directly related to the warming of the earth:
Continuing sea level rise poses a significant threat to land and humankind as this can lead to:
• Intense cyclonic storm surges
• Damage to coastal infrastructure and assets
• Land loss particularly in low-lying coastal areas due to frequent and intense floods
• Loss of critical wetlands such as mangroves, and their biodiversity
• Escalating salinization leading to harmful soil and water
The year 2018 brings us closer to this scenario. It was one of the hottest years on record, as global emissions hit an all-time high of 37.1 billion tonnes.
Apart from that, the unfaltering sea level rise is made more evident considering:
The numbers do not lie; this is our call to embark on a cleaner, low-carbon path.
With the Paris Agreement, the Philippines has committed to help reduce carbon emissions to 70.0 percent by 2030 and to keep the global temperature from rising above 1.5 degrees Celsius.
Curbing global temperatures now will redound to benefits as far as 2100: at 1.5 degrees Celsius, the sea level may rise to 0.40 meters only, versus at 2 degrees Celsius, where the sea level may rise to 0.46 meters. Even a half-degree change in temperature makes a world of difference in
To support this ambition, First Gen has initiated the shift to clean and renewable energy and urges all businesses to make the clean energy transition—before it gets worse.


Raytheon to design weather satellite prototype for US Space Force – C4ISRNet
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Space Force has selected Raytheon Intelligence & Space to build an advanced weather satellite prototype that can provide the military with theater weather imaging and cloud characterization, the company announced July 22.
The Next Generation Electro-Optical Infrared Weather Satellite is intended to replace the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program, or DMSP, a series of satellites that have provided weather data for military operations since the 1960s.
In 2015, Congress directed the Air Force to replace DMSP with a new weather system. As of last year, the satellites in the DMSP constellation were reaching the end of their service life, and the Pentagon expressed concerns that they may not last until a new satellite is launched in 2024.
ORS-8, a planned replacement slated to launch in 2020 in partnership with NASA, was canceled by the space agency following protests. A free-flying spacecraft that could help provide weather data in the interim was scrapped by the Pentagon last year in favor of a distributed low-Earth orbit architecture.

What is Doppler radar Why is it important?
The Doppler radar used in weather forecasting measures the direction and speed, or velocity, of objects such as drops of precipitation. This is called the Doppler Effect and is used to determine whether movement in the atmosphere is horizontally toward or away from the radar, which aides in weather forecasting.
Why did they invent the radar?
Radar (for RAdio Detection And Ranging) was developed over the years with input from many sources, but it was Robert Watson-Watt, a Scottish physicist looking for a reliable method to help airmen locate and avoid approaching thunderstorms, who designed the first set put into practical use.2008-02-26
How is a Doppler radar used?
Weather radar (also known as Doppler weather radar) is an instrument that sends pulses of electromagnetic energy into the atmosphere to find precipitation, determine its motion and intensity, and identify the precipitation type such as rain, snow or hail.2020-10-13
Can radar detect precipitation?
Radar can decipher how far away precipitation is, its speed and how big droplets or snowflakes are. This data can then be used in computer forecasting models to predict future weather trends, while alerting meteorologists to upcoming precipitation, storms or severe weather.2020-10-13
How does a Doppler radar work?
Doppler radar works by sending a beam of electromagnetic radiation waves from the transmitter (TX Antenna), with a precise frequency, at a moving object. Once the electromagnetic radiation wave comes in contact with an object, it travels back towards the receiver (RX Antenna).2020-06-12
What is a Doppler radar used for?
Doppler weather radars are remote sensing instruments and are capable of detecting particle type (rain, snow, hail, insects, etc), intensity, and motion. Radar data can be used to determine the structure of storms and to help with predicting severity of storms.
Why was the Doppler radar invented?
Doppler radars were used as a navigation aid for aircraft and spacecraft. By directly measuring the movement of the ground with the radar, and then comparing this to the airspeed returned from the aircraft instruments, the wind speed could be accurately determined for the first time.
What is precipitation in radar?
The Precipitation Radar was the first spaceborne instrument designed to provide three-dimensional maps of storm structure. These measurements yield invaluable information on the intensity and distribution of the rain, on the rain type, on the storm depth and on the height at which the snow melts into rain.2011-03-11
How does Doppler radar measure speed?
Doppler effect is used to measure speed in RADAR sensors. When the fixed-frequency radio wave sent from the sender continuously strikes an object that is moving towards or away from the sender, the frequency of the reflected radio wave will be changed. This frequency shift is known as Doppler effect, as shown in Fig.
What was the Doppler radar used for?
Doppler radar is specifically radar used to figure out the speed of an object’. Doppler radar works using the knowledge that waves produced by an object will be squashed closer together if it’s moving towards you, or spread further apart if it’s moving away.
What is an example of Doppler radar?
An example of Doppler radar is what a weatherman uses at a local TV news station to forecast storms. An example of Doppler radar is what a policeman would use to evaluate the speed of an oncoming vehicle. An example of Doppler radar is what an astronomer would use to measure the speed of a moving star.
How does a Doppler radar see storms?
Doppler radar can see not only the precipitation in a thunderstorm (through its ability to reflect microwave energy, or reflectivity), but motion of the precipitation along the radar beam. In other words, it can measure how fast rain or hail is moving toward or away from the radar.
What is an example of radar waves?
A continuous-wave version called Doppler radar is often used to track storms and hurricanes. Probes launched into space have used radar to map the surfaces of other planets.
What are some real life examples of the Doppler effect?
So, what is the Doppler effect? One of the most common examples is that of the pitch of a siren on an ambulance or a fire engine. You may have noticed that as a fast moving siren passes by you, the pitch of the siren abruptly drops in pitch. At first, the siren is coming towards you, when the pitch is higher.
What is a Doppler radar simple definition?
Doppler radar is a specific type of radar that uses the Doppler effect to gather velocity data from the particles that are being measured. For example, a Doppler radar transmits a signal that gets reflected off raindrops within a storm.
When was the Doppler radar first used?
The initial design and development of Doppler radars, which provide accurate ground velocity measurement for dead reckoning navigation of aircraft, began around 1945. In 1992, Doppler radars are still used worldwide on helicopters for navigation and hovering, as well as on military aircraft and drones.
What is the advantage of Doppler radar?
1. High-quality data: Doppler radar provides high-quality data compared to standard radars. Doppler radar is used by a meteorologist to diagnose rainfall as well as provide data on the flow of wind in the atmosphere.
How does a radar measure precipitation?
Ground-based radars send out pulses of microwave energy in narrow beams that scan in a circular pattern. When the microwave pulse encounters precipitation particles in the atmosphere, the energy is scattered in all directions, sending some energy back to the radar.
How does a precipitation radar work?
Radars send out electromagnetic waves similar to wireless computer networks and mobile phones. The signals are sent out as short pulses which may be reflected by objects in their path, in part reflecting back to the radar. When these pulses intercept precipitation, part of the energy is scattered back to the radar.

Online data feeds can be used to dynamically add content to a website. RSS feeds are often used to provide a listing of the latest news or postings from other websites, but there are many other types of data feed, some of which can be presented graphically.
ElectricityInfo uses live data about UK electricity supply to display Britain’s current fuel mix and carbon intensity – the average amount of CO2 being produced per unit of electricity from the current mix of power stations.
The website reads a data feed from Elexon which provides live data, updated every 5 minutes, for the National Grid and the Electricity Supply Industry.
The site then calculates the current carbon intensity level using the fuel mix and its own data on the carbon intensity of different energy sources.
Our client, Environmental Protection Scotland, wanted to include a live data map of air pollution levels in Scottish regions on their Breathe Scotland website.
The data was available from Air Quality Scotland’s website as a json feed. As well as current pollution levels, the feed includes data (svg paths) which can be used to draw the map.
The data is read from Air Quality Scotland’s website and decoded from json into a php array. Custom php code then extracts the required data and outputs a colour coded vector map of Scotland.
These are just two examples of how data feeds available online can be used to provide real-time graphical data on a website.


WHEREAS, the scientific consensus worldwide is that any warming above a 2°C (3.6°F) rise would be unsafe; and we have already raised the temperature 0.8°C (1.4F), and that has caused far more damage than most scientists expected – a third of summer sea ice in the Arctic is gone, the oceans are 30 percent more acidic, and, since warm air holds more water vapor than cold, the climate has produced both devastating floods and drought; and
WHEREAS, scientists estimate that humans can release roughly 565 more gigatons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and still have some reasonable hope of staying below two degrees, while proven coal, oil, and gas reserves equal about 2,795 gigatons of CO2, or five times the amount we can release to maintain 2 degrees of warming; and
WHEREAS, California’s institutions of higher education and pension funds should encourage only those investments that allow students and retirees to live healthy lives without the impact of a warming planet, and campaigns to divest from fossil fuels have already begun at campuses within both the University of California and California State University systems;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Democratic Party of the San Fernando Valley calls upon the University of California and California State University endowments, CALPERS, CALSTRS, and Los Angeles City and County retirement to immediately stop new investments in fossil fuel companies within five years, to take steps to divest all holdings from the top 200 fossil fuel companies, as determined by the Carbon Tracker list, and to release updates available to the public, detailing progress made toward full divestment;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Democratic Party of the San Fernando Valley send a copy of this resolution to the Governor of the State of California, Board of Regents of the University of California, Chancellor of the California State University system, CALPERS, CALSTRS, Mayor of Los Angeles, Los Angeles City Council and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors.

Power outages soar in South Carolina
Hurricane Ian is expected to make landfall in South Carolina soon.
Coastal areas are already feeling the effects of the storm, as roads are inundated by storm surges and heavy rains.
A storm surge of two to seven feet is expected along the entire South Carolina coast and authorities expect flooding to worsen this afternoon, making roads impassable.
High winds and strong currents are trapping storm surge waters inland, Gov. Henry McMaster said during a Friday press briefing.
High winds of 50 to 80 mph have already been reported, but gusts of up to 90 mph are expected, the National Weather Service said during the briefing.
A tornado watch has been issued for parts of northeastern South Carolina, as well as much of eastern North Carolina.
The winds have already downed several trees and power lines. The South Carolina Department of Transportation said 200 downed trees have already been felled.
Power outages continue to increase across the state. As of 10:30 a.m. this morning, there were 32,927 outages. That number rose to more than 69,000 by noon. Crews are ready to restore power lines when conditions allow it safely.
According to PowerOutage.us, there were 118,546 customers without power in eastern South Carolina as of 1:22 p.m.
Although there is water on the roads, there are no major closures yet.
The state’s Emergency Management Division has already responded to some mission requests that include debris clearance, deep-sea vehicle requests and rescues.
No fatalities have been reported at this point, but McMaster is urging all residents to stay safe and avoid leaving their homes or driving during the storm.
McMaster said human error is the “deadliest thing we have”, warning miscalculations and carelessness could lead to deaths during and after the storm.
Five shelters have been opened across the state. There are currently 119 people in the shelters, about 15% of their capacity.


Agnes: Flood of ’72, is a WSKG original documentary that explores a significant event that greatly shaped the Southern Tier of New York and Northern Pennsylvania. Join us on Wednesday, June 29 from 6 – 7:30 pm for a viewing of this documentary, commemorating the 50th anniversary of Agnes, the first hurricane of the 1972 season. By June 22nd, the remnants of Agnes stalled over the northeastern United States, dumping up to 22 inches of rain in some areas, including the Elmira/Corning region of New York. The devastating flooding resulted in one of the worst natural disasters in the region’s history.
June 29, 2022 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm


The season has the potential to be extremely active, NOAA said Wednesday, and could be the most active since 2010.
This week Tropical Storm Franklin sparked minor changes to a couple cruise itineraries as it cut across Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula then intensified into the season's first hurricane before making a second landfall last night north of Veracruz.
NOAA forecasters now say there is a 60% chance of an above-normal season, compared to their May prediction of 45% chance, with 14 to 19 named storms (up from 11-17 earlier predicted) and two to five major hurricanes (increased from the May forecast of two to four). The prediction for five to nine hurricanes remains unchanged from the May outlook.
'We’re now entering the peak of the season when the bulk of the storms usually form,' said Gerry Bell, lead seasonal hurricane forecaster at NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center. 'The wind and air patterns in the area of the tropical Atlantic and Caribbean where many storms develop are very conducive to an above-normal season. This is in part because the chance of an El Niño forming, which tends to prevent storms from strengthening, has dropped significantly from May.'
Bell noted other factors that point to an above-normal season include warmer waters across the tropical Atlantic than models previously predicted and higher predicted activity from available models.
In just the first nine weeks of this season there have been six named storms, half the number of storms during an average six-month season and double the number of storms that would typically form by early August. An average Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1 to Nov. 30, produces 12 named storms, of which six become hurricanes, including three major hurricanes.


The temperature at which the water vapor contained in a volume of air at a given atmospheric pressure reaches saturation and condenses to form dew. The dew point varies depending on how much water vapor the air contains, with humid air having a higher dew point than dry air. If the dew point temperature is reached within the wall, condensation occurs, wetting the walls resulting in insulation ineffectiveness and deterioration of moisture sensitive materials.
Because conditions on the interior of a building are typically different from the exterior conditions, temperature and saturated and partial vapor pressure gradients across the wall from the interior to the exterior will occur. The dew points within a wall happen most often where the temperature drop is the greatest and thus occurs across materials that have good insulating properties.
The proper placement of the air/vapor/water resistive barrier and the exterior insulation is critical in keeping the wall assembly above the dew point.


We are processing a large variety of top grade air pollution control systems that are designed for eliminating gaseous pollutants from industrial facilities and power plants. These are eminent in cleaning the air and making it breathable for living beings as air pollution can cause cardiovascular as well as respiratory problems. In addition to this, the said products also protect the building, plants etc. from haze or smoke. Air pollution control systems prevent pollution in the air for the protection of natural resources. These are also utilized for improving as well as strengthening economic growth, enhancing productivity, and handling waste.

GENEVA: This year’s Atlantic hurricane season has been so busy that meteorologists will soon have exhausted all the designated storm names.
So for just the second time in history, the Greek alphabet will be used, the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said.
Arthur was the first storm on the 21-name list prepared for the 2020 season, which ends on Nov. 30.
Hurricanes Paulette and Sally and Tropical Storms Teddy and Vicky are still active, and a low pressure system off West Africa could develop into a cyclone and would be christened Wilfred.
“Once we exhaust the last name on the list, which is Wilfred, we then have to switch to the Greek alphabet and you will start to see names such as Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, Zeta etc,” the WMO’s Clare Nullis told reporters.
This year’s season is set to be the busiest ever with the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasting a record 25 storms which it attributes to warm sea temperatures and low wind-shear. Climate change is thought to be increasing their intensity.
As of Monday, there were advisories for five cyclones swirling in the Atlantic for only the second time in history. However one of them, Rene, has since dissipated but it still means the ‘R’ name choice had gone.
No names have been prepared X, Y or Z this year because there are few appropriate names that begin with them, WMO said.
Since, 1953, tropical storms have been named for ease of communication with mariners and the public and were initially only female. Historical storms were identified by their coordinates or the things they destroyed.
Meteorologists now rotate through six, alphabetical stock lists of alternating male and female names maintained by a WMO committee. The last time it resorted to Greek names was in the busy 2005 season which included Hurricane Katrina.
Occasionally, a storm name is “retired” by the committee if it proves to be very destructive, such as Mitch which struck Honduras in 1998.
Nullis said the WMO is then bombarded with replacement requests. “Either people are outraged that a storm has their name or they say: please name it after my husband or wife.”

February 1st 2018 was pretty intense. Anna had her first day at High School, the hottest week of the year (we had around 30°C for several days!) finally ended with the remnants of a tropical storm that swept over both islands, and a ‘super blood moon’ (the first since 1866), which wasn’t visible to us because of the clouds, triggered a massive king tide. As the storm approached from the North and peaked just shortly before noon, the combined tide was the highest most people here can remember. Several blocks in the lower regions of Mapua were evacuated and dozens if not hundreds of houses were flooded with debris. Climate change and rising sea levels have arrived.


BRAGGING RIGHTS FOR (BRIEF) SHOT OF WARMTH
Monday brought some of the warmest temperatures in months back to southern Ontario, as Windsor topped 22ºC and highs edged into the teens as far east as the GTA and Niagara. That's as buses were pulled from the roads amid icy conditions across eastern Ontario Monday morning and up to 20 cm of snow piled up in areas of the north. While the mild weather continues into Tuesday for the southwest, those high teens will be a thing of the past -- at least for now -- as a stormy, snowy system sweeps in.
WATCH BELOW: MESSY TUESDAY STORM, TIMING
'LOOKING MORE LIKE THE MIDDLE OF JANUARY' ON TUESDAY
The next disturbance comes in the form of an Alberta clipper, which brings both the threat for thunderstorms and another swath of snow through parts of the province on Tuesday.
"Some dynamics are in place for areas along the Bruce Peninsula and over towards cottage country to squeeze out a thunderstorm or two through the morning hours and early afternoon on Tuesday," says Weather Network meteorologist Kelly Sonnenburg, adding that these storms would be non-severe in nature.
Rain showers tracked across southwestern and south-central Ontario through Tuesday morning, with clear breaks moving in for the afternoon.
"We will have a gusty northwest wind however, and temperatures will be noticeably cooler than on Monday," says Weather Network meteorologist Dr. Doug Gillham.
A much wintrier scene will play out across eastern Ontario Tuesday with special weather statements and freezing rain warnings issued for the region. Slippery road conditions were reported amid a swath of icy precipitation in the Ottawa area early Tuesday with even heavier snow moving in through the afternoon hours.
"Ottawa, you may be looking more like the middle of January than the start of April by Tuesday afternoon," Sonnenburg warns, with about 5-10 cm of snow on the way to help extend your record-setting season.
The rest of southern Ontario isn't entirely in the clear, however, as cooler air drops in behind the clipper and rain showers turn to wet snow east of Lake Huron and Georgian Bay by Tuesday evening.
NOT DONE YET, WIDESPREAD WINTRY CONDITIONS BY THURSDAY
While most of southern Ontario escapes the wintry wrath of Tuesday's system, the clipper will bring temperatures down through mid-week, and that leaves conditions primed for a more-widespread shot of snow as the next system approaches.
While this next system -- a Colorado low -- will ultimately bring warmer temperatures back into southern Ontario, as the system first edges in and moisture collides with the colder air expected to be in place through early Thursday morning.
It won't be long-lived, but it's not out of the question that a swath of wet snow will fall from London to Niagara and north to Georgian Bay early Thursday morning, with some mixed precipitation or ice pellets also on the menu before temperatures climb again for a rainy Friday.
WATCH BELOW: ANOTHER COLORADO LOW FOR ONTARIO
Northern Ontario will once again bear the brunt of this system with moderate snow and strong winds expected for areas north of Lake Superior to James Bay, including Thunder Bay and Timmins.
"There will be major impacts to travel along the Trans-Canada," warns Gillham. "A period of freezing rain is likely east of Lake Superior and across the Nickel Belt as well."
Stay with us here at the Weather Network this week as we track this potential winter weather-maker.
COOLER PATTERN DOMINATES WELL INTO APRIL
Despite some glimmers of hope that see temperatures rising well above the freezing mark, the back and forth swings in daytime highs are expected for the foreseeable future, with "no sustained warmth in sight."
"During the next two weeks a persistent blocking pattern will continue to send shots of colder weather into the Great Lakes region. This makes consistent warmth unlikely through at least April 24th, though we can still get mild days at times," says Gillham.


After warning residents for days that another public safety power shut-off would affect San Mateo County’s coast last week, PG&E decided to cancel the outage in the county citing improved weather conditions. Data from the National Weather Service, however, indicates there were wind gusts of up to 40 mph and sustained winds from 25 to 28 mph with 8 to 13 percent humidity on the morning of Oct. 30, when PG&E and local officials warned a shutdown was imminent.
Those conditions were worse on the coast than in previous shut-offs PG&E implemented for the Coastside in October, according to data from the National Weather Service and the National Centers for Environmental Information.
To compare, a little after 6 p.m. on Oct. 26, only hours before the power was turned off, sustained winds on the coast were calm at 5 mph, and relative humidity was at 82 percent. During the Oct. 9 shut-off, the highest wind gusts were 28 mph with sustained wind speeds that reached 18 to 20 mph.
A press release from PG&E released at 10 a.m. the morning of Oct. 30 reads, “For the Oct. 29 PSPS, the number of impacted counties was decreased from original estimates, as weather conditions changed and as PG&E was able to sectionalize parts of its grid to allow for greater precision in the shut-offs.” San Mateo County was removed along with other counties.
PG&E officials did not respond for comment to this article. They have said previously that local conditions are only one consideration for the shut-offs. They also take into account the entire grid and noted that areas of the coast might be connected to other areas that faced a greater or lesser risk of wildfire.
Meanwhile, the National Weather Service’s red flag warning remained in effect for the Santa Cruz Mountains and the Peninsula for much of last week, warning locals of extreme fire behavior, gusty winds and low relative humidity. A frost advisory was issued for a few hours on Thursday for other portions of the Bay Area.
Meteorologist David King with the National Weather Service noted as winds calmed and the red flag warning was set to expire that the risk of wildfire remains high in the region.
“We haven’t had rain in the longest time and fuels are still dry,” he said last week.
PG&E announced that those affected by the Oct. 9 shut-off would receive a one-time rebate amid pressure from Gov. Gavin Newsom. Specific details about the rebates have yet to be released.
“We have carefully considered the governor’s request to provide reimbursement for our customers impacted by the Oct. 9 PSPS and we have agreed to move forward with a one-time bill credit for customers impacted by that event,” PG&E CEO and President Bill Johnson said in a prepared statement.


Confirming it will support the Clean Air Day again next year
Children attend event in Southside Shopping Centre
This year’s Clean Air Day events successfully raised awareness of the measures individuals can take to reduce air pollution, and the council this week confirmed it will support the day again next year.
Wandsworth recently set itself ambitious targets to tackle pollution and climate change. This was the third year it supported Clean Air Day, and the council is also supporting next month’s Car Free Day.
Clean Air Day on June 20 2020 is a nation-wide series of events to raise awareness of air pollution issues, supporting people to reduce the amount of air pollution they create and helping them work together to improve air quality.
This year, two clean air day events were held in Wandsworth, at Southside Shopping Centre and St George’s Hospital. The council’s air quality officers were present, as well as volunteer Air Quality Champions and a team from Rollapaluza bikes to provide some fun.
Clean Air Day event at St George's Hospital 2019
St George’s Hospital has confirmed it would like to host an event next year, after a huge amount of interest from patients, visitors and staff. At Southside children from The Roche primary played a game of air quality snakes and ladders and learnt about air pollution. The six pupils were tasked with passing on what they learnt to the rest of the school and to their families.
“We’re delighted to confirm that the council will support Clean Air Day 2020 as part of our pledge to become inner London’s greenest borough Together we can tackle air pollution and reduce carbon emissions,” said the council’s air quality spokesman Cllr Paul Ellis.
Measures taken by the council to improve air quality include working with contractors to reduce pollution from building, lobbying for cleaner buses, installing an extensive network of car charging points and anti-idling campaigns outside schools. This autumn it will consult on a School Streets scheme at five borough primaries to see if parents and local people back proposals to close roads outside schools to traffic at drop-off and pick-up time.
In addition, Wandsworth has set out ambitious goals to become carbon neutral by 2030 and a zero-emission council by 2015. Find out more.

Northern Lights in Iceland
What time of year is best to see the Northern Lights in Iceland? Where is the best places to look for the aurora borealis in Iceland? In this blog, you will find everything you need to know!
The scientific name for the Northern lights is aurora borealis and are shafts or curtains of colored lights only sometimes visible in the night sky. They are a natural phenomenon that may be found in both the northern and southern hemispheres that can be truly breathtaking and inspiring.
The origin of the aurora begins on the surface of the sun when solar activity ejects a cloud of gas. If one of these clouds reaches the earth it collides with the earth's magnetic field. The field is invisible, but if you could see its shape, it would make the earth look like a comet with a long magnetic tail. The auroras can be seen anywhere and have been spotted as far south as Mexico, however, they are more frequent at higher latitudes in places like Iceland, Alaska, and Canada.
The Northern Lights are one of Iceland's biggest draws for visitors in the winter. The only downside is that the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and thus elusive and unpredictable. If you manage to see them on your visit to Iceland, some people have described it as a life-changing event. Seeing them twirling and dancing before your eyes is truly magnificent.
How to see the Aurora Borealis
Darkness is required when looking to see the Northern Lights and as Iceland is at high latitude there is almost no darkness from mid-April until mid-August. So in that period of time, no Northern lights can be seen. The best time to see them is from late September until late March with their peak in September and March. At this time it is dark after 18:00 (6 pm) so there maximum chances of spotting one.
In order to get the best visual of the Northern Lights, we would recommend going out of the city as the lights all around, do affect their visual.
Witnessing the northern lights in Iceland also requires clear skies, solar activity, patience, and luck. All of the required conditions may also be in your favor and you still might not see the lights so luck is also an important factor.
You can find the official aurora forecast here, it does not show where exactly you may see them but you can see the cloud activity as well as how likely it is to see them that night.
When hunting the Northern lights we also recommend making sure to bring enough of warm clothes. It will make you more patient if you are not shivering in the cold and also crucial when shooting the northern lights. Also if possible to bring a travel chair with you, just for extra comfort.
What we think are the top 5 places to watch or photograph the northern lights are:
Ásbyrgi Canyon in the north of Iceland
Seltjarnarnes lighthouse (If you want to find one while in the city)
Þingvellir national park


Spring Weather – late April thru June
Rain and sometimes snow accompany mild days and cold nights throughout spring in Jackson Hole. Area lakes have usually thawed by late May. Depending on the previous winter’s snow accumulations, snow pack will exist just above the valley floor until around mid-June. Wildflowers start to bloom once the snow has melted, and are especially abundant in the valley during June and July.
Summer Weather – July and August
Days become warm, but nights are still cool. Rain usually comes in the form of brief thundershowers, which are common in the afternoon. By August, snow in the mountain canyons and divides has mostly disappeared. The number of wildflowers in the Jackson Hole valley declines, while they reach their peak higher up in the mountains.
Fall Weather – September thru November
Nights become cold. Days are generally sunny with occasional rain and some snow. Fall colors are highlighted by golden aspen trees and cottonwoods from late September into early October. Snow becomes more regular in late fall. Elk and other wildlife move out of the higher elevations and into the valleys.
Winter Weather (Late November thru early April)
Snow depths will commonly reach up to ten feet in the upper mountain areas with two to five feet of snow piling up in the valley. Jackson Hole’s average yearly snowfall is 150 inches. Humidity is generally quite low, so snow is usually light and powdery. Air feels warmer without much moisture. Temperature “inversions” often take place, causing temperatures to be 15-20 degrees warmer halfway up the ski mountain than on the valley floor.

In a jar, sure. Have I persuaded you the climate is a lot more complicated than a jar?
I was hoping for a little more than that, but if John's willing to say that CO2 in a jar traps heat, I suppose that's progress. It's pretty simple: CO2 is transparent to visible light, but blocks thermal radiation. This is a physical property of CO2 as a gas. It doesn't matter whether it's in a jar or in the earth's atmosphere (or Venus's atmosphere, or wherever), it's going to behave the same way.
Okay, let's move on to climate. What do we know about the earth's climate?
Thermal radiation and equilibrium temperature
Like the other planets in our solar system, the earth receives a continuous flow of energy from the sun, as visible light. Why doesn't the earth just keep heating up until it's as hot as the sun? Fourier asked and answered this question back in 1824: a warm object emits invisible (infrared) thermal radiation. The planet emits thermal radiation into space which is equal to the incoming solar energy, so the planet neither warms up nor cools down.
What happens if the incoming solar energy increases? The key principle is that a warmer object emits more thermal radiation. The planet will gradually warm up until the outgoing radiation balances the incoming solar energy again. Conversely, if the incoming solar energy decreases, the planet will gradually cool down, and its outgoing radiation will decrease.
For a given level of solar energy, we can calculate the equilibrium temperature at which the incoming and outgoing energy will balance. An example calculation. The key factors in the calculation are:
- The temperature of the sun.
- The distance from the sun to the earth.
- The size of the earth.
- The reflectiveness of the earth's surface ("albedo").
Finally, there's the composition of the earth's atmosphere. Without the atmosphere, the earth would be much colder than it actually is. Because the earth's atmosphere blocks some of the outgoing thermal radiation, the temperature where the earth emits enough thermal radiation to balance the incoming solar energy is higher than with no atmosphere (by about 33 degrees Celsius, assuming the earth reflects 30% of incoming light).
If these factors (including atmospheric composition) are stable, then the average temperature of the earth must also be stable. Heat can be redistributed within the system (for example, the oceans can absorb heat or release it, as in El Nino years), but because of the law of conservation of energy, we know that the overall amount of energy in the system can't change.
Changes in the energy balance
What can cause the energy balance to change?
Variations in the sun's output. For example, astronomers have monitored sunspots for a long time, so we know that there was a period from about 1645 to 1715 when sunspots (correlated with solar output) were very rare; it's called the Maunder Minimum. This was also the middle of the Little Ice Age. Now we use satellites to measure solar output, and we can see that there's a variation of about 0.1% in solar energy over an 11-year cycle.
Very slow and regular variations in the amount of solar energy reaching the earth's surface due to variations in the earth's orbit ("Milankovitch cycles"), over tens of thousands of years.
Changes in the reflectiveness of the earth's surface, e.g. as glacial ice sheets grow or melt over long periods of time. As ice sheets grow, the earth reflects more light back into space instead of absorbing it, causing cooling.
Changes in the composition of the atmosphere, which blocks outgoing thermal radiation. Volcanic activity releases CO2 from molten rock, raising the equilibrium temperature. (Volcanic eruptions also cause short- term cooling by injecting sulfates into the air.) This is balanced by a very slow process called rock weathering, which takes place over millions of years and turns CO2 into limestone.
Over very long periods of time in the past, we can see that these factors have resulted in dramatic changes in the earth's climate; this is the field of paleoclimate, and it's a fascinating story. (If you're interested, Spencer Weart describes the major discoveries. Lectures from the University of Michigan summarizing what we know about paleoclimate.)
But over the next century or so, a geologically short period of time, we're not going to see sudden changes caused by variations in the sun's output, or by Milankovitch cycles, or by changes in the reflectiveness of the earth's surface, because these factors aren't changing rapidly.
Of course, what is changing rapidly is the composition of the atmosphere. We're currently digging up and burning fossil fuels, releasing huge quantities of CO2 into the atmosphere, exactly as if we were a super-volcano. Since 1750, we've released over 300 billion metric tons of carbon into the atmosphere, and we're still going. We know that CO2 blocks outgoing thermal radiation (traps heat), and therefore the earth's temperature must rise in order to emit more thermal radiation. Until it reaches equilibrium again, there will be more energy coming in than going out.
For a given increase in the level of CO2, what will the equilibrium temperature be? Skeptical Science summarizes the multiple lines of evidence:
Climate sensitivity [the change in equilibrium temperature resulting from doubling CO2, or equivalently from increasing solar energy by 3.7 watts per square metre] can be calculated empirically by comparing past temperature change to natural forcings at the time. Various periods of Earth's past have been examined in this manner and find broad agreement of a climate sensitivity of around 3°C.
How stable is the earth's climate?
John argues at length that the earth's climate is not stable, and can change abruptly and unpredictably:
I have never said the climate is stable. On the contrary, in writing about global warming over more than a decade I have insisted that the climate is so remarkably unstable that it cannot be mathematically modeled at all. It is, technically, "non-linear" and in an age committed to the proposition that linear algebra can explain everything from chemistry (mostly true) to economics (wildly false) we generally assume without reflection that it can also explain climate.
Not so. And it is not me, but the alarmists with their “hockey stick” that shows a very stable global temperature until the 20th century, who would have you believe everything was orderly and harmonious until human wrongdoing expelled us from a temperate Eden into a lake of fire.
... [The alarmists] cannot even explain what has caused dramatic swings in the Earth’s climate in the past when increasing CO2 concentrations appear to be an effect not a cause. Nor can they explain why in the past once CO2 levels had risen we did not get a "greenhouse" effect instead of warming trends suddenly and unpredictably reversing and resuming despite the alarmists’ models suggesting bleak stability.
... look again at his chart of temperature changes over the past 400,000 years. Notice the endless abrupt changes.
What makes him think we're not just in one of those now? Again, it is not science to suggest that although the Earth’s climate has witnessed an uncountable number of sudden drops or rises in temperature for natural reasons, the one we're now in, if we are, cannot be of that sort and must be an entirely new kind where CO2 is suddenly and unaccountably driver not passenger.
My response is simple: no matter what we know or don't know about past changes in the earth's climate (and we actually know quite a lot), we know for certain that the earth's climate cannot violate the law of conservation of energy! We know that CO2 traps heat, so we know that there's more solar energy coming in than thermal radiation going out, and therefore there's more energy being trapped in the system as a whole.
That's why scientists were able to predict back in the late 1980s that temperatures would rise. And that's also why scientists are so alarmed about our inaction on global warming. This tweet summarizes it perfectly:
Scientists: Don't freak out about Ebola. Everyone: *Panic!* Scientists: Freak out about climate change. Everyone: LOL! Pass me some coal.— Emm Kay (@emmkaff) August 7, 2014
I don't expect my argument to convince John that global warming is a real problem, but I'm interested in seeing how he reconciles the law of conservation of energy with his belief that the earth's climate is unstable and unpredictable. (No matter how unstable and unpredictable it is, it can't destroy incoming energy!) If he responds, I'll add a link to his reply.
Next: How do we deal with the collective action problem? (As I've said before, fossil fuels are awesome; if they weren't, it'd be a lot easier to stop using them.) And if the scientists really do know what they're talking about, how bad do they think it's going to get?


After record-breaking rains swamped the subway, grounded flights and flooded streets in New York City and the surrounding region on Friday, New Yorkers resumed their routines the next morning. Rain showers continued on Saturday, putting some areas at risk of further flooding, but they were expected to taper off by the evening.
On Saturday morning, the New York City metropolitan area was no longer under a flood watch, the alert that indicates that flooding is possible, according to the National Weather Service. A flood watch remained in effect until Sunday afternoon around New Haven, Conn.
At a news conference on Saturday morning, Gov. Kathy Hochul thanked New Yorkers for heeding official warnings. There were no storm-related fatalities, she said, adding that emergency teams had made 28 rescues from “raging waters” in the Hudson Valley and Long Island.
“I want to emphasize how serious this event was,” the governor said, adding that climate change was making such storms “a new normal.”
As of 9:30 p.m. Friday, rainfall in parts of Nassau County on Long Island had reached slightly above nine inches, while the area near Kennedy International Airport it hit 8.6 inches — the most recorded in a single day, according to the Weather Service.
The downpour shut down half of the city’s subway lines on Friday and suspended service on the Metro-North Railroad traveling in and out of the Grand Central Terminal. Service on the Long Island Rail Road was also significantly affected. Flights were delayed or canceled at the city’s airports, with travelers evacuated from one La Guardia terminal as floodwaters rose.
Ms. Hochul and Janno Lieber, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority chief, emphasized the need to improve city infrastructure to handle increasingly frequent and severe storms.
“We keep talking about the fact that the system was designed long ago for a rainfall at the rate of 1.75 inches per hour, and we are consistently getting more than that, so we need additional outflow,” Mr. Lieber said at the news conference.
The subway was up and running as of Saturday morning, though some Metro-North branches were still experiencing weather-related delays, according to the M.T.A. The L.I.R.R. and airports had resumed regular service.
The thoroughfares that had been closed as the storm swept through the city, like Franklin D. Roosevelt Drive and the Belt Parkway, had reopened by Saturday morning.
The rainfall on Friday made this the second-wettest September in New York City history, according to Weather Service statistics. More than 14 inches has fallen this month, the most since September 1882, when the city logged 16.85 inches.
A combination of factors, including heavy rain showers that grew as they slowly moved through the metropolitan area, provided the right environment for flash floods, said John Murray, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service.
Mr. Murray said that rain showers were expected to linger in the region until Saturday evening, but that they would be “nowhere to the level of the intensity we saw yesterday.”

An Inconvenient Truth Worksheet (2006)
An Inconvenient Truth (2006) is Al Gore’s environmental documentary chronicling the impact humanity is having on the environment. Even though the documentary was made by a politician, I left out any biased political references on the documentary guide and stuck to the scientific and environmental messages. The documentary makes a strong case for human-influenced climate change using solid scientific facts, logical argumentative points, and solid unbiased reasoning. It also explores and debunks the misinformation often presented when talking about global warming or climate change. The documentary guide has a total of 44 questions. It consists of mostly higher-order thinking questions, with some more basic questions included. This documentary explores scientific concepts including pollution, climate change, global warming, the greenhouse effect, ozone depletion, carbon dioxide levels, trend lines, glacial melt, severe weather events, climate vs weather patterns, educated populace, and moral issues concerning climate change. The documentary is well-suited, but not limited to, the following classes: ecology, environmental science, or the humanities.
The running time is roughly 90 minutes. This is designed to be shown over 2 days, with each day of viewing roughly 45-50 minutes.
