A huge number of different phenomena take place in the atmosphere. According to their physical nature, they can be divided into 5 large groups.
The first group (precipitation)
The first group unites the phenomena associated with precipitation. This includes rain, hail, snow, freezing rain, etc. All water particles falling out of the atmosphere (snowflakes, hailstones, raindrops) are called the general word hydrometeors. Precipitation occurs due to the fact that air has a limited ability to saturate with water vapor, and the amount of water vapor that it can hold depends on its temperature. When unsaturated air is cooled, it becomes already oversaturated, as a result of which condensation of hydrometeors and their fallout occurs. The formation of frost, the formation of icicles, ice, and other phenomena associated with condensation of water on surfaces fall into the same category.
The second group (lithometeors)
The second group of phenomena is associated with lithometeors. This is the name for small particles of substances that are not water. First of all, these are sand and dust. Accordingly, dust and sand storms, dust haze, etc. fall into this category.
The third major group (optical phenomena)
The third major group is optical phenomena. The most famous of these is the rainbow. It arises from the refraction of sunlight by the atmosphere. When refracted, white light, which is a combination of light waves of different lengths, is expanded into several rays of different colors, each of which corresponds to its own wavelength. Also, optical phenomena can arise from diffraction and interference of light waves. Dawn, mirages, a green ray, a change in the light of clouds, etc. fall into this category. It should be noted separately that the northern lights are not an optical phenomenon, since they do not arise due to the distortion of light waves.
The fourth group (electrical phenomena)
The fourth group is formed by electrical phenomena. These are thunderstorms, lightning (including ball), polar lights. The aurora borealis occurs in the upper atmosphere (in the magnetosphere) due to its interaction with the solar wind. Note that the nature of ball lightning is still a mystery to researchers. Interestingly, if the Earth’s surface itself has a negative charge, then the upper layers of the atmosphere (starting from an altitude of 50 km) are positive. As a result, the Earth creates its own electric field.
The fifth group
Finally, the fifth group includes all other phenomena that do not belong to the first four groups. First of all, these are phenomena associated with the wind – hurricanes, tornadoes, squalls.


Siberia – with a National Geographic documentary we discover the coldest inhabited region of the earth.
Siberia, the synonym of cold
In this place, there is one of the climates strongest of the earth. During winter the medium temperature is almost everywhere ten degrease below zero.
Noteworthy, in the regions over the Polar Arctic Circle, the temperature even during summer is cold. The same is also for the zones below and near the Polar Arctic Circle.
The big difference between regions of Siberia is in summer. Some regions during summer can become even warm and have a short continental climate.
But the region is even famous for the extreme cold of the winter. Oymayacon is known even as Cold Pole, it is the inhabited place where the temperature can go down up to -70 degrees.
Imagine, the children can go school if the temperature doesn’t be -55 degrees, just over this limit they can stay at home.

A Temperature & Humidity Sensor measures relative humidity and ambient air temperature. It captures readings about once every 15 minutes.
The sensor can:
- Detect conditions for mold and mildew (generally above 60% humidity)
- Detect freezing conditions which may lead to frozen pipes and water leaks
- Report temperatures from 32 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit (0 to 50 degrees Celsius)
- Keep your expensive wine collection in check
- Protect cigar humidors and pianos
You can use the sensor to detect conditions in your refrigerator or freezer, depending on the location and associated signal strength.
Use the sensor indoors, away from rain.


Urban areas have influence on the local weather system compared to surrounding, less built-up areas. This creates an urban heat island effect, which means that the temperature in urban areas is often higher than in rural surrounding areas. Urban green spaces are influencing this micro climate. Want to know more?
What is the urban heat island effect, how does it arise and what are the consequences?Read more
Urban areas often have their own separate climate and weather system (including wind speed, temperature, precipitation, humidity), which can be seen as a micro-climate. In this urban micro-climate, there is often a difference with the surrounding suburban and rural areas.
The urban heat island effect means that urban areas are often warmer than the surrounding rural areas. Warmer temperatures can be expected as the ratio of built-up areas and green areas shifts towards built-up areas.
Referance- Snaprevise, United Kingdom
Due to the urban heat island (UHI) effect, conditions in urban areas with regard to temperature and heat can worsen stress. Especially in the dry season, extremely high temperatures can occur more often.
In Suriname it is then customary to run air conditioners more often and for longer, which leads to higher electricity bills. Water consumption also increases in the warm months. Climate intensity increases the intensity of the UHI effect.

Wildfires, characterized by unplanned, uncontrolled and unpredictable fires that erupt in areas such as forests, grasslands and prairies, have recently increased in frequency and intensity. Probably due to the effects of climate change, wildfires are increasingly affecting ecosystems and human lives. Although wildfires are considered to be ecologically beneficial, there are growing concerns about the negative effects, which are the deterioration of air quality from the smoke and pollutants released.
In particular carbon monoxide (CO) and ozone (O3) contribute significantly to air pollution caused by forest fires. However, unlike CO, O3 is not directly generated during wildfires. Instead, it is produced from O3 precursors emitted during forest fires and their production depends on several factors. This in turn complicates the O3 production process. In addition, its presence in wildfire plumes determines the age of the wildfire plume. Assessing concentrations is therefore necessary to better understand how wildfires affect air quality, weather and climate.
In a recent study published in the Journal of Applied Remote SensingScientists at NASA Langley Research Center, in conjunction with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), reported their findings in the Fire Influence on Regional to Global Environments and Air Quality (FIREX-AQ) field campaigns. measurements of atmospheric CO and O3 levels were performed over the continental US using an external sensor called “National Airborne Sounder Testbed-Interferometer” (NAST-I), which provided both high spatial and spectral resolution.
“The NAST-I, aboard the NASA ER-2 aircraft, occupies a space large enough to track the wildfire plume from its origin, evolution and transport, and provides 3D distributions of the O3 and CO concentrations with higher spatial resolution compared to satellite infrared ultraspectral sensors,” said Dr. Daniel K. Zhou, the principal investigator of NAST-I and the lead author of the study.
Based on these measurements, the team estimated the age of the plume through the differential concentration ratios of O. to observe3 and CO, that is, ΔO3/ΔCO and performing a linear fit with previous wildfire observations ΔO3/ΔCO ratios. “Our results showed elevated levels of CO in the developing plume as it was transported away from the fire site. The age of the plume was associated with the plume spacing in both vertical and horizontal directions,” Zhou said.
Overall, this study provides important insights that could be crucial for a better understanding of the effects of wildfires on the atmosphere and the steps needed to reduce them.

There are no less than four wild fires currently ravaging the Greater Los Angeles area. Couple that with Santa Ana winds gusting up to 60 mph. It is worth mentioning that everyone in the area should refrain from prolonged and strenuous outdoor workouts, particularly if you have respiratory and/or cardiovascular conditions. Some areas are, of course, more affected by the fires than others. But even if you do not smell smoke, there are still harmful particulates in the air. So it’s better to take the workouts indoors. If you are within the affect areas, though, it is a good idea to refrain from working out altogether because these microscopic particulates can get indoors. Skipping a day or two won’t derail your fitness goals.

********** A Tale of Two Planets *************
It was the best of planets, it was the worst of planets... (With apologies to Mr. Dickens).
Venus ,Earth, Mars atmosphere Basic numbers about atmospheres. The most important are the numbers showing the composition "principal gases" and surface density. Basically these numbers can be summarized as follow: Venus and Mars both have atmospheres of CO2. Venus has a very thick dense atmospher, almost 100 times density of air in this room, while Mars has a very low denisty atmosphere, about 200 times less dense than the air in this room. Earth has an atmosphere that is primarily nitrogen and oxygen, with some CO2 and H2O.
The greenhouse effect A greenhouse (upper picture) can keep its interior much warmer than its surroundings (if its sunny!). Visible wavelengths of sunlight carry energy through the glass (the glass is transparent to visible light) some of which is absorbed by the interior, which heats up and radiates infrared radiation. However, the glass is far less transparent to infrared radiation, so the heat it trapped, warming the interior.
A planets atmosphere can act as a greenhouse, if it contains molecules that are relatively transparent to visible light and relatively opaque to infrared. Many molecules with 3 or more atoms are greenhouse gases. In particular, carbon dioxide (CO2) is a greenhouse gas.
The Earth is warmed by the greenhouse effect due to CO2 and H2O in the atmopshere. (The oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere are diatomic - two atom- molecules- and are NOT greenhouse gases.) If there were no greenhouse effect, the Earth would be 30 or so degrees colder than present, so the Earth would be a very different place. So the greenhouse effect at present is probably a good thing as it keeps the Earth at the temperature at which life flourishes.
Average temperature of Earth over last century The average temperature over the Earth has been rising. Most atmospheric scientists attribute this warming to CO2 released by humans burning fossil fuels- global warming.
Thus, there may be too much greenhouse warming, caused by human activity, than is good for life on Earth. If the temperature continues to rise for a century or two, the Earth will be a very different place than it is now.
Global Carbon Emission This shows the amount of carbon dumped into Earths atmosphere by burning fossil fuels (and making cement). Over the past 100 years or so, humans have dumped about 200 to 250 gigatons of carbon into the atmosphere.
The coal-powered I-phone Electricity seems like such a clean power source. Ain't no smoke coming out of the power outlet in my house! (well, as long as you don't cross the wires!). But, at least in the US, almost 70% of the generation of electricity is powered by burning fossil fuels- coal, natural gas and (just a little) petroleum. Coal is by far the worst fossil fuel from an environmental viewpoint. It is mostly carbon, and so burning coal leads to the most CO2 per unit of heat generated compared to say natural gas. Coal also has nasty impurities- sulfur, mercury, even some thorium and uranium (radioactive elements). When coal burns, some of these impurities go into- you guessed it- the air that we all breath.
CO2 content of atmosphere- 50 years By burning fossil fuels, humans have increased the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. Careful observations of CO2 (here plotted as ppmv - parts per million by volume) have been made from Mauna Loa HI (a place not much affected by "local" sources) for almost half a century. The observations show that the CO2 in the atmosphere has increased by about 1/4 over just the last half century.
CO2 content of atmosphere- last 400,000 years We can use airbubbles in Antartic ice to measure the properties of the Earths atmosphere in the past. Previous to the industrial revolution, the CO2 varied from about 200 to 280 ppmv. Over the past century, it has gone to about 380 ppmv, due to burning fossil fuel.
Ocean acidity increasing Some of the increased CO2 we are dumping into the atmosphere finds its way into the ocean, where it makes the ocean water acidic. This will have consequences for sealife. This is the first page of an article on this topic from the April 2011 NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazine. You can read the article here .
Recent Sea Level Rise The sea level has been rising during the last century. Experts agree that some significant portion of this has been due to warming of the ocean. This causes water to expand and hence the level to rise. Melting of ice (on land) also plays some part in the sea level rise.
So, maybe its time to sell your beach house in Florida and remember to WALK UPHILL as the oceans rise!
Earths carbon inventory The amount of carbon in various reservoirs on Earth. The atmospheric carbon is of 2000, and includes a contribution of about 1/3 from recent human activity (about 200-250 GT out of 720 GT). Note that by far the largest carbon reservoir is carbonate rocks, such as limestone (CaCO3). This is found primarly on the ocean floor, and the carbon in these rocks is sometimes recycled into the atmosphere by volcanoes.
CO2- rock cycle Exchange of CO2 between atmosphere and carbonate rock reserviors may help moderate temperature fluctuations. If the CO2 gets "high", the Earth warms, there is more water evaporation and rain, which causes more rock weathering, which puts more CO2 into ocean, which decreases atmospheric CO2, which cools Earth.
Presumably, this general mechanism may help rid the atmosphere of the fossil fuel CO2, but the timescale to do so is FAR beyond human timescales (and the process of absorbing extra CO2 will alter ocean chemistry - ocean acidification- with at present unknown ramifications).
Atmospheres of Venus and Earth So why are the surface conditions of Venus and Earth so utterly different? The planets have very similar sizes and surface gravity. We know little of the history of the atmosphere of Venus, so there is no definitive answer to the question posed. However, the answer is undoubtedly related to carbon, water, and life. Earth may have started out with a thick blanket of CO2 as did Venus. In fact, since the Sun was less luminous in the distant past, the Earth should have been frozen solid billions of years ago, but there is evidence for liquid water over a large fraction of Earth's history. One obvious way out of this "faint Sun paradox" is that the Earth had much more CO2 (and hence a bigger greenhouse effect) in the past. On Earth, liquid water (and eventually life) managed to "scrub" most of the CO2 out of the air, turning into carbonate rocks, kerogens, and fossil fuel (see earlier slide on "Earth carbon inventory"). Perhaps there was never much liquid water on Venus, or if there was there was never life to help scrub the CO2 out of the atmosphere.
The rocks found on Venus (from Russian lander data) are somewhat similar to terrestrial basalts. Basalts are mostly silica (SiO2), with various amounts of things like FeO , Al2O3, CaO amd MgO- but no carbon.
So, perhaps the "simple" answer to the question is that the Earth managed to get rid of most of its original thick blanket of CO2, but Venus has been cursed to keep its thick CO2 cloak.
Chu remarks on climate change The content of the Earth's atmosphere, how and why it is changing, and the effects of such changes has become very political. Some people still deny there is any problem, other say there is a problem but there is nothing we can do, others want to do something to at least try to address the problem. This is from an interview with Steven Chu in Newsweek 11 April 2011. Chu is a Nobel prize winning physicist and current Secretary of Energy in the US.


Indoor Air Quality Assessments
Our office receives calls almost daily regarding indoor air quality concerns. During certain months of the year, i.e., winter months, we seem to receive more calls than usual, likely due to it being flu and/or allergy season. The calls are very similar in terms of the employee concerns. We attempt to identify specific concerns to help with our assessment. For example, are the employees voicing concerns about an odor, do they all have scratchy eyes, or does the problem occur more in the afternoon rather than the morning. Answers to these questions can assist in our assessment.
In many situations we evaluate common indoor air quality measurements including levels of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, temperature, humidity. Measurements can be easily and quickly taken with direct reading instrumentation at numerous locations throughout the workplace. It is also common to obtain measurements for particulate matter of various sizes. We may also do particulate identification. Lastly, we may take measurements for mold spores. These are the most common measurements made when we receive a call on indoor air quality.
Although there are Cal/OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) for carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, the PELs are substantially higher than what would be expected to find in an office environment. We evaluate the levels differently since these substances may be an indicator of the air quality and effectiveness of the building’s heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. The American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) recommends that maximum carbon monoxide (CO) levels not exceed 9 ppm more than once per year or the ceiling limit of 35 ppm more than once per year. A number of state public health agencies, as well as the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) have issued recommendations on carbon dioxide levels for indoor air quality. Carbon dioxide is naturally occurring in the air we breathe. All of the above-named health groups concur with the 1,000 ppm limit for carbon dioxide (CO2). ASHRAE has established Standard 62.1-2016, “Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality,” which provides guidance on comfort for building occupants. The ASHRAE guideline generally concurs with the 1,000 ppm recommendation, but states that “maintaining a steady-state CO2 concentration (indoors) of no greater than 700 ppm above outdoor air levels will indicate that a substantial majority of visitors entering a space will be satisfied with respect to human bioeffluents (body odor).” Whenever we conduct an indoor air quality assessment, these are the common standards we use for our evaluation.
Air temperature and relative humidity are indicators of general office occupant comfort, but high humidity levels may also be indicative of conditions that could promote mold growth. In their “letter of interpretation” for indoor air quality dated February 24, 2003, the U. S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommend that temperatures be controlled to between 68 and 76 degrees Fahrenheit and that relative humidity be controlled to between 20 and 60 percent for indoor office environments. ASHRAE 62.1-2016 Section 5.9.1 states that relative humidity in occupied spaces should be limited to 65 percent or less.
Concerning particulate matter (dust on surfaces is a common complaint we hear), Cal/OSHA again has PELs, however, these levels are generally far higher than what one would commonly find in an office setting. One approach is to evaluate the indoor environment against acceptable outdoor standards since these levels are established to minimize the impact on public health. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the EPA have both set standards of exposure that we believe can be used to evaluate indoor air quality.
Feel free to call our office if you are experiencing an indoor air quality concern and we’d be happy to conduct a formal assessment for you.

The energy balance of the earth is unbalanced: how does energy circulate and what it means for climate change
August 10, 2021 14:31:45 Ist
You probably remember your primary school teachers explaining that energy can neither be created nor destroyed.It is a fundamental property of the universe.
Energy can however be transformed.When the sun's rays reach the earth, they turn into random movements of molecules that you feel in the form of heat.At the same time, the earth and the atmosphere refer radiation to space.The balance between incoming and outgoing energy is known as the "energy budget" of the earth.
Our climate is determined by these energy flows.When the amount of incoming energy is greater than the outgoing energy, the planet warms up.
This can happen in several ways, for example when sea ice normally reflects solar radiation in space disappears and the dark ocean absorbs this energy instead.This also happens when greenhouse gases accumulate in the atmosphere and trap a part of the energy which, otherwise, would have been irradiated.
Scientists like me are measuring the energy balance of the earth since the 1980s using instruments on satellites, in the air and the oceans, and on the ground.This is an important part of the new climate assessment of the intergovernmental group of experts on the evolution of the United Nations climate published on August 9, 2021.
Here is a more in -depth examination of the way energy circulates and what the energy balance tells us about how and why the planet warms up.
Balance the energy of the sun
Practically all the energy of the climate system of the earth comes from the sun.Only a tiny fraction is driven up from inside the earth.
On average, the planet receives 340.4 watts of sun per square meter.The whole sun falls on the side of the day and the figures are much higher at local noon.
Of these 340.4 watts per square meter:
Almost all of the absorbed energy corresponds to the energy emitted in the space.However, a residue is now accumulating in the form of global warming.This residual increased, going from just under 0.6 watt per square meter at the end of the last century to 0.79 in 2006-2018, according to the latest data from the Intergovernmental Experts Group on Climate Evolution.The vast majority of this now heats up the oceans.Although it may seem a small number, this energy addresses.
When Your Daughter Texts from Her Boyfriends Asking How To Defrost Raw Chicken and Think Back to Last Time She Cook… https: // t.CO/DLTX0H8D1H— ParadoxicAli Sun Feb 25 16:47:22 +0000 2018
Earth energy balance sheet.New measures show that the accumulated residue has increased.Nasa
The atmosphere absorbs a lot of energy and emits it in the form of radiation both in space and towards the surface of the planet.In fact, the surface of the earth receives almost twice as much atmosphere radiation than from the direct sun.It is mainly because the sun only heats the surface during the day, while the hot atmosphere is up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Together, the energy reaching the surface of the earth from the sun and the atmosphere is around 504 watts per square meter.The surface of the earth emits about 79 percent.The remaining surface energy is used to evaporate water and reheat air, oceans and earth.
The residue between the incoming sun and the outgoing infrared is due to the accumulation of greenhouse gas like carbon dioxide in the air.These gases are transparent in sunlight but opaque with infrared rays - they absorb and emit many infrared rays.
The surface temperature of the earth must increase in response until the balance between the incoming and outgoing radiation is restored.
What does this mean for global temperatures?
Double carbon dioxide would add 3.7 Watts of heat to each square meter of the earth.Imagine incandescent night lights, every 3 feet on the whole world, left on forever.
To the current rate of emissions, greenhouse gas levels would double compared to pre -industrial levels by the middle of the century.
Climatologists calculate that adding so much warmth in the world would warm up the land climate with approximately 5 degrees Fahrenheit (3 C).To avoid this, it would be necessary to replace the combustion of fossil fuels, the main source of greenhouse gas emissions, by other forms of energy.

The Impact of Weather on Solar Energy Production
When it comes to harnessing the power of the sun, solar panels are a popular choice for renewable energy generation. These panels are designed to convert sunlight into usable electricity, reducing dependence on traditional fossil fuels. However, it is important to understand how weather conditions can affect the output of solar panels. From sunny days to cloudy skies, various elements of weather can influence the efficiency of solar energy production. Acquire additional knowledge about the subject from this external site we’ve selected for you. Learn from this helpful document, keep advancing your learning journey!
The Role of Sunlight
Solar panels rely on sunlight to generate electricity. The intensity of the sunlight directly impacts the energy production of the panels. On bright, sunny days, when the sun’s rays are direct and strong, solar panels can generate a significant amount of electricity. The panels absorb the sunlight and convert it into usable energy through the photovoltaic effect. The higher the intensity of sunlight, the more electricity the panels can produce.
The Effect of Cloud Cover
Cloudy days can hinder the performance of solar panels. When clouds cover the sky, sunlight is scattered, diffused, and absorbed by the clouds. Consequently, less sunlight reaches the solar panels, reducing their energy output. However, it is worth noting that even on cloudy days, solar panels can still generate some electricity, albeit at a lower efficiency. Modern solar panels are designed to capture diffused sunlight and convert it into usable energy. Additionally, advancements in technology have improved the efficiency of panels in cloudy conditions.
The Impact of Temperature
The temperature of the environment also plays a role in the efficiency of solar panels. While it is a common misconception that solar panels perform better in hot climates, excessive heat can actually decrease their efficiency. High temperatures can cause the panels to heat up, leading to a decrease in their output. Most solar panels have a temperature coefficient that represents how their efficiency changes with temperature. It is essential to consider this coefficient when installing solar panels in hot regions.
The Role of Rainfall
Rainfall can have a temporary impact on solar panel output. Raindrops in the atmosphere can scatter and absorb sunlight, reducing its intensity. However, the effect of rain on solar energy production is typically minimal since most rainfalls are intermittent and short-lived. Additionally, rain can have a positive impact on the overall performance of solar panels in the long run. Rainwater helps keep the panels clean by washing away dust and debris, thus improving their efficiency once the rain stops.
The Importance of Maintenance
To optimize the output of solar panels, regular maintenance is crucial. Regardless of the weather conditions, it is essential to ensure that the panels are clean and free from any obstructions. Dust, dirt, leaves, and other debris can accumulate on the surface of the panels, reducing their efficiency. Regular inspections and cleaning can help maximize the energy production of solar panels, regardless of the prevailing weather conditions.

A new study by Harvard University in the US has claimed a correlation between long-term exposure to high levels of air pollution and Covid-19 mortality rates.
According to the study, Covid-19 patients in regions that have had a history of high levels of air pollution are more likely to succumb to the illness than those in states with relatively better air quality. “The results of this paper suggest that long-term exposure to air pollution increases vulnerability to experiencing the most severe Covid-19 outcomes,” the authors wrote.
The study was conducted as a majority of pre-existing conditions that increase susceptibility to Covid-19 are respiratory illnesses, which are linked to long-term exposure to air pollution.
While the US government scientists estimate that the pandemic may kill between 100,000 and 240,000 Americans, the study says most of them will be from areas with a high particulate matter (PM) count.
Analysing 3,000 counties in the US accounting for 98 per cent of the country’s population, up to 4 April, the Harvard University study claimed that “an increase of only 1 μg/m3 in PM2.5 is associated with a 15% increase in the COVID-19 death rate”.
As an example, the study said if Manhattan in New York had lowered its average PM level by just one unit in the past two decades, 248 deaths due to coronavirus could have been avoided. As of 8 April morning, New York has seen a total of 5,489 deaths.

Extreme Weather Events Fuel Climate Change,
When the carbon dioxide content of the atmosphere rises, the Earth not only heats up, but extreme weather events, such as lengthy droughts, heat waves, heavy rain and violent storms, may become more frequent. Whether these extreme climate events result in the release of more CO2 from terrestrial ecosystems and thus reinforce climate change has been one of the major unanswered questions in climate research. It has now been addressed by an international team of researchers working with Markus Reichstein, Director at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena. They have discovered that terrestrial ecosystems absorb approximately 11 billion tons less carbon dioxide every year as the result of the extreme climate events than they could if the events did not occur. That is equivalent to approximately a third of global CO2 emissions per year.

Coming up with an accurate model can actually be equated to learning a secret language. It can be a very satisfying experience. On the upper-level and surface weather maps, the weather enthusiasts usually spot these station models. They normally play the roleof collecting all the important information from a number of stations present on a map. This is what makes the station model a very important tool. The good news is that it does not really take a lot to be able to come up with the model. All you will need is cursory weather knowledge and a basic understanding of the weather maps. Below are some tips and examples that you can use.
When the sky is only a quarter-way covered with clouds
Plot a circle then look at the sky and subdivide it into a number of eights. Fill the circle in line with the eights on the sky that you have created that have cloud cover. A clear circle is a representation of a station with no cloud cover while a full circle will represent a station with an overcast sky.
When the sky is overcast and has 65-knot average 1-minute wind speed
Draw a line from the circle going in the direction from which the wind is coming. Then draw a line long enough to be perpendicular and to and connect to the tip of the initial line; this should be representative of a wind speed of 10 knots. Then draw a second line that is shorter to represent a wind speed of five knots. Then draw a flag to represent 50 knots.
Find the dew point and the temperature of the weather station. To the left side of the wind barbs, make a recording of the temperature in degree Celsius. The dew point should be recorded just below the temperature; just under the circle but on the right side.
Slight but continuous rain during observation
To the left side of the circle that you had initially drawn, draw the symbol showing the current condition of the weather. Record the visibility in miles on the left hand side of the current weather symbol.
On the circle’s upper right side, jot down the sea level pressure. This pressure ought to be recorded to the nearest millibar tenth. On the weather station model, only the final three digits of the number should appear.
You should also record the changes in pressure. These changes in pressure ought to also be recorded to the nearest tenth. Jot it down just under where you have recorded the current pressure at sea level. A decrease in the amount of pressure should be signified using a negative sign while an increase in pressure ought to be signified using a positive sign.
To obtain maximum visibility, the weather authorities normally choose to use 7 miles. Ensure that the station that you are using has reference points to help you with the visibility.
Please remember that the average pressure at sea level is usually ranges from 930 to 1050 millibars. This means that when there is a recording of 298, it will be assumed to be 1029.8 and not 929.8. The only exception is usually when an abnormal weather event has taken place such as a very huge hurricane.
Making this model allows one to study whetherpatterns and be able to understand them at an advanced level. This is the main reason as to why it was earlier indicated thatone has to have cursory knowledge of the weather before they can start to draw the model. It isimportant that you be able to accurately read and measure the current weather conditions. Also important is having the knowledge of recording the different weather elementsand the units in which they ought to be recorded. For instance, you saw that pressure at sea level is measured in millibars while the speed of wind is measured in knots. For one to be able to accurately draw this model, you need to have knowledge of these things.
However, drawing the model is not as hard as it seems. It is actually a very enjoyable experience once you get to know the ins and outs of it.


|Tropical Storm Henri|
|August 21, 2021|
Tropical Storm Henri is expected to strengthen into a hurricane over the Atlantic today and will track toward the Northeast, most likely making landfall on Long Island near hurricane strength late Sunday.
Latest radar shows movement away from our area. Henri has turned north-northeastward and its forward speed will increase as it tracks generally northward Saturday. This more northerly track will be influenced by the steering from a ridge of high pressure over the north-central Atlantic and an upper-level disturbance over the eastern U.S.
A turn back toward the north-northwest is expected by Saturday night which may bring it back the our area. Residents of the area should monitor Henri's progress closely since it may bring wind and rain to parts of our region late this weekend into early next week.
Here are some pre-hurricane safety and preparations tips..

Global warming, defined as the gradual rise in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere and oceans, is believed to be drastically altering the Earth’s climate. When CO2 and other greenhouse gases accumulate in the Earth’s atmosphere, they absorb more of the sunlight and radiation that typically bounce off of the Earth’s outer atmospheric layers, leading to global warming. Usually, this radiation would escape into space, but these greenhouse gases, which can last for a very long time in the atmosphere, trap the heat causing the planet to become hotter. Since 1906, the average surface temperature of the Earth has increased by more than 1.6oF (0.9oC). This temperature increase has already caused many environmental changes such as melting glaciers, rising sea levels, the depletion of habitats and animal populations, dangerous weather events, and a range of other serious effects. All of these changes are going on as humans remain busy making more heat-trapping greenhouse gases to add to the atmosphere.
According to The Korea Herald, “hazardous air pollutants from China fled to form fog in South Korea’s capital, Seoul. Toxic, ultrafine, yellow dust from China blanketed the Korean Peninsula”. A number of countries are badly affected by global warming. This inevitably led to many world leaders choosing to undertake this issue as part of the international agenda in the UN. On April 22, 2016, The Paris Agreement was signed to this effect in Paris, France, by representatives of 196 countries. The world leaders decided to limit the rise in global temperature to well below 2oC, and to strive to keep it at or below 1.5oC.
On November 3, 2016, South Korea endorsed the Paris Agreement and hosted the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI). Government has launched many emissions-reduction programs such as a green building plan, an incentive program supporting electric and hybrid vehicles, and support for environmentally friendly public transportation. Many other countries are also working hard towards achieving their environmental goals. According to the World Economic Forum, “Pakistan hit its billion tree goal in August 2017.” This project was titled the Billion Tree Tsunami’. $169 million were spent, and the project’s budget was increased to ten billion dollars by Pakistan’s Prime Minister, Mr. Imran Khan. Many other countries like Norway, Finland, Canada, New Zealand and the US are doing much to protect the environment.
It is important to understand that there is no ‘Planet B’. There is only one Earth to live on, so every country shares the responsibility of protecting the Earth. Both reactive and preventive strategies should be implemented to counter the effects of global warming. Reactive strategies include stopping the use of engines that emit greenhouse gases, while preventive strategies include the installation of cheap engines that consume CO2, commonly known as trees. The world should work on this three word strategy: Protect-Restore-Fund. That is, protecting forests, restoring nature and its ecosystems, and stop funding that destruction of nature. Everyone should know about global warming and take a role in protecting the Earth. Kindle a passion to utilize available knowledge and skills to protect the Earth, because it is a question of survival for future generations. If there is No Nature then there is No Future. The first step is awareness, so join hands and work together!

About 300 000 premature deaths per year and a significant number of non-communicable diseases such as asthma, cardiovascular problems and lung cancer are attributed to air pollution. Air pollution continues to be the number one environmental cause of early death in the EU. In this regard, the worst pollutants are particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide and ozone.
While air pollution affects all of us, it has the biggest impact on the most vulnerable and sensitive groups of society: children, people with medical conditions, older persons, and those living in poorer socio-economic conditions as they often live in areas with higher levels of air pollution.
In addition, air pollution threatens the environment through acidification, eutrophication, and ozone damage, causing damage to forests, ecosystems and crops. When ecosystems already suffer from excessive nitrogen levels in water, nitrogen deposition from air adds further pollution. Today, eutrophication exceeds critical loads in two thirds of ecosystem areas across the EU. This has a significant impact on biodiversity and the services it delivers for us all.
The last update to the Ambient Air Quality Directives dates back to 2008. Since then, new scientific evidence about the health impacts of air pollution has become available. The revised WHO Air Quality Guidelines published in September 2021 recommend introducing stricter air quality standards.
The evaluation (fitness check) of the Ambient Air Quality Directives showed that the current Directives helped to reduce air pollution. Compared to the 1990s, there are about 70% fewer early deaths attributable to air pollution. But Europe's air is still too polluted, to the detriment of our health and environment.


The weather is often a funny thing. No one ever, EVER seems to get it right until its nearly right on top of you. However, keeping track of it, knowing what the weather may be, is something that most everyone wants to know. This is one of the biggest reasons why I like Weather Bug. It’s a multi-platform weather utility.
Weather Bug desktop helps you keep track of current, local weather conditions, extended forecasts, and severe weather alters. Its animated Doppler radar maps are exceptionally valuable in severe weather conditions, as are its satellite and temperature maps. The best thing about Weather Bug desktop is that it works on just about any computer you can throw at it.
On the Windows side, Weather Bug has its traditional desktop app, but also desktop gadgets for both Windows Vista and Windows 7 Side Bars. On the mac, Weather Bug Alert for Mac provides live temperatures and desktop alerts. On both platforms ,you’ll have access to live, local current conditions, 7-day, hourly and weekend forecasts, animated radar and maps as well as severe weather alters.
Weather Bug is a great application suite. It provides a great service and very valuable information. Its gadgets, may or may not be working any longer, as of this writing, Microsoft has ended support for its Side Bar due to security concerns. The rest of its components, however, are fine and again, provide valuable information. This is a must have app on any Mac or Windows PC.


Winter Storm Warnings
A. Warning Responsibility
The National Weather Service is responsible for the timely issuance of weather warnings to the public, including the approach of winter storms.
Know what winter storm WATCHES and WARNINGS mean:
WINTER STORM WATCH: Severe winter conditions, such as heavy snow and/or ice, are possible within the next day or two. Prepare now!
WINTER STORM WARNING: Severe winter conditions have begun or are about to begin in your area. Stay indoors!
BLIZZARD WARNING: Snow and strong winds will combine to produce a blinding snow(near zero visibility), deep drifts, and life-threatening wind chill. Seek refuge immediately!
WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY: Winter weather conditions are expected to cause significant inconveniences and may be hazardous. If caution is exercised, these situations should not become life-threatening. The greatest hazard is often to motorists.
FROST/FREEZE WARNING: Below freezing temperatures are expected and may cause significant damage to plants, crops, or fruit trees. In areas unaccustomed to freezing temperatures, people who have homes without heat need to take added precautions.
Ice Storm-Freezing rain or drizzle is called an ice storm. Moisture falls in liquid form but freezes upon impact. The term "heavy" is used to indicate an ice coating sufficiently heavy to cause significant damage to trees, overhead wires, and similar objects.
Snow-"Snow" is a forecast, without a qualifying word such as "occasional" or "intermittent," means that the fall of snow is of a steady nature and will probably continue for several hours without letup.
"Heavy snow warnings" are issued to the public when a fall of four inches or more is expected in a 12-hour period, or a fall of six inches or more is expected in a 24-hour period. Some variations on these rules may be used in different parts of the country. Where four-inch snowfalls are common, the emphasis on heavy snow is generally associated with six or more inches of snow. In other parts of the country where heavy snow is infrequent, or in metropolitan areas with heavy traffic, a snowfall of two or three inches will justify a heavy snow warning.
"Snow Flurries" are defined as snow falling for short durations at intermittent periods; however, a snowfall during the flurries may reduce visibilities to an eighth of a mile or less. Accumulations from snow flurries are generally small.
"Snow squalls" are brief, intense falls of snow and are comparable to summer rain showers. They are accompanied by gusty surface winds.
"Blowing and drifting snow" generally occur together and result from strong winds and falling snow or loose snow on the ground. "Blowing snow" is defined as snow lifted from the surface by the wind and blown about to a degree that horizontal visibility is greatly restricted.
"Drifting snow" is used in forecasts to indicate that strong winds will blow falling snow or loose snow on the ground into significant drifts. In the northern plains, the combination of blowing and drifting snow, after a substantial snowfall has ended, is often referred to as "ground blizzard."
"Blizzards" are the most dramatic and perilous of all winter storms, characterized by low temperatures and by strong winds bearing large amounts of snow. Most of the snow accompanying a blizzard is in the form of fine, powdery particles of snow which are whipped in such great quantities that at time visibility is only a few yards.
"Blizzard warnings" are issued when winds with speeds of at least 35 mph are accompanied by considerable falling or blowing snow and temperatures of 20 degrees F or lower are expected to prevail for an extended period of time.
"Severe blizzard warnings" are issued when blizzards of extreme proportions are expected and indicate wind withe speeds of at least 45 mph plus a great density of falling or blowing snow and a temperature of 10 degrees F or lower.
A "cold-wave warning" indicates an expected rapid fall in temperature within a 24-hour period which will require substantially increased protection to agricultural, industrial, commercial, and social activities. The temperature falls and minimum temperatures required to justify cold wave warnings vary with the changing of the season and with geographic location. Regardless of the month or the section of the country, a cold wave warning is a red flag alert to the public that during a forthcoming forecast period a change to very cold weather will require greater that normal protective measures.
"Hazardous Driving (Travelers') Warnings" are issued to indicate that falling, blowing, or drifting snow, freezing rain or drizzle, sleet or strong winds will make driving difficult.
"Stockmen's Warnings" alert ranchers and farmers that livestock will require protection from a large accumulation of snow or ice, a rapid drop in temperatures, or strong wind.
Wind Chill Factor-Strong winds combined with low temperatures cause a very rapid cooling of exposed surfaces. Unprotected portions of the body, such as the face or hands, can chill rapidly and should be protected as much as possible from the cold wind. A very strong wind combined with a temperature slightly below freezing can have the same chilling effect as a temperature nearly 50 degrees F lower in a calm atmosphere. Arctic explorers and military experts have developed a term called the "wind chill factor," which states the cooling effect of various wind and temperature combinations. In certain areas, the Weather Service issues this information as the "wind chill index." The following descriptive scale compares a 20 degrees F temperature with different wind speeds.
20 Degrees F
|10 MPH||2 Degrees F||Very Cold|
|20 MPH||-9 Degrees F||Bitter Cold|
|30 MPH||-20 Degrees F||Extreme Cold|
Winter Storm Safety Rules-Keep ahead of a winter storm by listening to the latest National Weather Service warning and bulletins on radio and television.
BE PREPARED...Before the Storm Strikes:
Check battery powered equipment. A portable radio or television set may be your only contact with the world outside the winter storm. Also, check emergency cooking facilities and flashlights. Have extra batteries.
Check your supply of heating fuel. Fuel carriers may not be able to make deliveries if a winter storm buries your area in snow.
Check your food and stock an extra supply. Your supplies should include food that requires no cooking or refrigeration in case of power failure.
Have an emergency heating source available, such as a fireplace, wood stove, space heater, etc. Learn to use properly to prevent a fire hazard due to overheated coal or oil-burning stoves, fireplaces, heaters, etc. Have proper ventilation.
Check fire extinguisher and smoke detector to ensure they are working properly.
Check your supply of any necessary medications, first-aid items, and baby items.
Stay indoors during storms and cold snaps unless in peak physical condition. If you must go out, avoid over-exertion.
Don't kill yourself shoveling snow. It is extremely hard work for anyone in less than prime physical condition, and can bring on a heart attack, a major cause of death during and after winter storms.
Rural residents: Make necessary trips for supplies before the storm develops or not at all. Arrange for emergency heat supply in case of power failure. Be sure camp stoves and lanterns are filled.
Dress to fit the season-If you spend much time outdoors, wear loose-fitting, lightweight, warm clothing in several layers; layers can be removed to prevent perspiring and subsequent chill. Outer garments should be tightly woven, water repellent, and hooded. The hood should protect much of your face and cover your mouth to ensure warm breathing and protect your lungs from the extremely cold air. Remember that entrapped, insulating air, warmed by body heat, is the best protection against cold. Layers of protective clothing are more effective and efficient than single layers of thick clothing. Mittens, snug at the wrists, are better protection than fingered gloves.
Your automobile can be your best friend--or worst enemy--during winter storms, depending on your preparations. Get your car "winterized" before the storm season begins. Everything on the checklist shown below should the taken care of before winter storms strike your area:
Tight Exhaust System
Snow Tires Installed
Winter Storm Car Kit-Be equipped for the worst. Carry a winter storm car kit, especially if cross country travel is anticipated or if you live in the northern states.
The kit should contain blankets or sleeping bags; matches and candles; empty 3-pound coffee can and plastic cover, with tissues and paper towels for sanitary purposes; a smaller can and water-proof matches to melt snow for drinking water; water container; extra clothing; high- calorie, nonperishable food; compass and road maps; knife; first aid kit; shovel; sack of sand(or cat litter); flashlight or signal light with extra batteries; windshield scraper; booster cables; two tow chains; fire extinguisher; axe; and a tool kit.
Winter travel by automobile is serious business. Keep these points in mind, especially for severe storms:
1. If the storm exceeds or even tests your limitations, seek available refuge immediately.
2. Plan your travel and select primary and alternate routes.(Let someone know your plans.)
3. Check latest weather information on your radio.
4. Try not to travel alone; two or three persons are preferable.
5. Travel in a convoy with other vehicles, if possible.
6. Always fill your gasoline tank before entering open country, even for a short distance.
7. Drive carefully, defensively.
Trapped by a Blizzard in a Vehicle
Avoid overexertion and exposure. Exertion from attempting to push your car, shoveling heavy drifts, and performing other difficult chores during the strong winds, blinding snow, and bitter cold of a blizzard may cause a heart attack-even for persons in apparently good physical condition.
Stay in your vehicle. Do not attempt to walk out of a blizzard. Disorientation comes quickly in blowing and drifting snow. Being lost in open country during a blizzard is almost certain death.
Keep fresh air in your car. Freezing wet snow and wind-driven snow can completely seal the passenger compartment.
Beware the gentle killer: Carbon monoxide and oxygen starvation. Run the motor and heater sparingly, and only with the downwind window open for ventilation.

Livestock-Blizzards take a terrible toll in livestock. For both humane and economic reasons, stockmen should take necessary precautions in advance of severe winter storms.
Move livestock, especially young livestock, into sheltered areas (frequently called "shelter belts") properly oriented and laid out. These provide better protection for range cattle than shed- type shelters, which may cause cattle to overcrowd, with consequent overheating and respiratory disorders.
Haul extra feed to feeding areas before the storm arrives. Storm duration is the largest determinant of livestock losses; if the storm lasts more than 48 hours, emergency feed methods are required. Range cattle are hardy and can survive extreme winter weather providing they have some non confining type of shelter from the wind and are able to feed at frequent intervals.
Autopsies of cattle killed by winter storms have shown the cause of death to be dehydration, not cold or suffocation. Because cattle cannot lick enough snow to satisfy their thirst, stockmen are advised to use heaters in water tanks to provide livestock with water and feed after prolonged exposure to winter storm conditions.


Various regions of the Earth's atmosphere are named according to a number of different classification schemes. Four classifications are illustrated in the diagram below. These are based respectively on temperature, compostion, gravitation and ionisation. Different regions are suffixed by -sphere whereas the division between regions is suffixed by -pause where the prefix is the region below or -base where the prefix is the region above.
In the temperature classification, the troposphere is where the surface weather occurs. Here the temperature decreases 2 degrees Kelvin (or Celsius) for every 300 metres altitude increase. In the stratosphere the temperature increases slightly, whereas in the mesosphere (or middle atmosphere) it decreases again. The mesosphere is the coldest part of the atmosphere at around 180 K. The temperature rises rapidly in the thermosphere to over 1000 K.
In composition the atmosphere is fairly uiniformly mixed up to about 100 km in the homosphere. Above this the individual gases are separated (the heterosphere) and the composition is no longer 80% nitrogen and 20% oxygen. The heterosphere, as with other regions, can be subdivided according to the predominant gaseous species.
Below about 600 km gravity manages to overcome the thermal motion of the molelcules, and most of the gas is retained by the Earth. Above this altitude, in the exosphere, moecules have enough energy to exceed the Earth's escape velocity of 11 km/sec.
The atmosphere starts to become ionised above about 70 km. Maximum ion concentration occurs in the ionospheric F2 layer at about 300 km. Above about 700 km the Earth's magnetic field starts to strongly control motions of the ionised plasma and this is termed the plasmasphere. This extends to at least 10 Earth radii, until it loses control to the plasma of the solar wind, blowing outwards from the Sun. This extended area of terrestrial magnetic control is also referred to as the magnetosphere, but this is strictly not an ionisation classification.

CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. — The Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo Bills will not play in the middle of a significant winter storm that is forecast for Sunday, with their game postponed to Monday afternoon at 4:30 p.m.
But the forecast for their rescheduled contest isn’t exactly a day at the beach.
WGRZ-TV in Buffalo is predicting near-freezing wind chills and scattered snow showers for the new Monday afternoon kickoff.
The current forecast calls for a kickoff temperature of 19 degrees, with winds out of the southwest at 10 to 20 mph leading a wind chill of 5 degrees. While the heavy lake-effect snow that caused the postponement from Sunday will have subsided, show showers and flurries will continue through the Monday start time
The playing surface at Highmark Stadium will remain covered throughout the worst of the snowstorm on Sunday, so the players should be able to play on a relatively clean playing surface.
But the cold and snow will remain, and make for another game impacted by winter weather conditions.
The Steelers played their Week 18 game in a barely above-freezing monsoon in Baltimore. They also beat the Las Vegas Raiders last Dec. 23 in a game that had similar conditions to those expected this week: high temperatures in the low 20s, with 20-30 mph winds resulting in single-digit wind chills.


In the Arctic, where air temperatures are rising at about twice the global rate, scientists are seeing major shifts in plant life. Trees and shrubs are expanding by pushing northward, while the low-to-the-ground tundra plants to their north are shrinking in range. In this visualization, watch these changes and the influence they are forecasted to have on the climate system.

THIS SUMMERíS DAY
This summerís afternoon,
Shaped feathers float across the sky,
An afternoon full of cloud watching.
The clouds are as fluffy as marshmallows,
a day full of white fluff.
This enchanted night,
The moon is as bright as a torch,
A night full brightness.
This summers day,
The sun is as hot as lava,
A day full of hotness.
Without the clouds it would to bright,
Without the moon the world would be dull,
Without the two, the world would be gloomy.


Weather forecasting and scientifically studying the atmosphere can be tricky. Meteorologists on television get paid $100 grand per year and they don’t even have to be right! However, combat meteorology is far different.
Accurate weather observations in hostile, unknown enemy territory are critical to mission strategy and success and the United States military has the world’s best combat meteorologists: the U.S. Air Force Special Operations Weather Team!
SOWT (sow-tee) are an elite unit who gather, assess and interpret environmental & terrain data and forecast the operational impacts.
These Air Commando Weathermen undergo 8-months of grueling training and only a few make the final cut.
From new recruit to SOWT:
Basic training at Lackland AFB, Texas. 30 weeks Air Force Weather Course at Keesler AFB in Missouri. Jump training at Fort Benning, Georgia. Survival school & hand-to-hand combat at Fairchild AFB, Washington. The intense Journeyman Apprentice Course at Pope Field, NC, then you’re finally assigned to a Squadron.
Look out for the pewter grey berets and SOWT beret flash. Military lives often depend on knowing the weather.

Strong winds during the overnight thunderstorm damaged a hackberry tree in Frankfort Square, putting City of Columbus crews to work early on Wednesday morning.
City Public Works Director Chuck Sliva said the winds ended up snapping a branch on the tree located in close proximity to 26th Avenue, splitting the whole tree in half and making it unstable while tearing down a nearby powerline.
Clint Aegerter, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service based out of the Omaha/Valley office, said that a line of thunderstorms went through the Columbus area early Wednesday morning. Wind gusts as high as 40 mph were recorded at Columbus Municipal Airport at approximately 12:49 a.m. Wednesday, so it’s possible the winds could have caused damage throughout town.
City crews were hard at work well before 7 working on removing the debris. The City Parks and Recreation Department is going to consult with a contractor about safely removing the tree without harming others.

Many areas of the Czech Republic have witnessed high levels of smog due to unusually high levels of airborne particles. Smog levels have been high since late last week. The city of Prague declared a smog emergency last Thursday and is now considering free public transport in an effort to limit traffic in the capital. The air quality has been poor in other regions as well.
As a consequence, people with chronic respiratory conditions, heart problems and young children as well as the elderly should reduce the time spent outdoors. Healthy people should avoid doing physically demanding activities as well. Unnecessary driving should be also avoided as it contributes directly to the air quality.
A smog emergency is declared when the amount of PM10 airborne particles exceed the limit of 100 micrograms per cubic meter for longer than twelve hours and do not drop below that limit for 24 hours.
You can check the up-to-date information regarding air quality in different regions of the Czech Republic here: http://portal.chmi.cz/files/portal/docs/uoco/web_generator/actual_hour_data_GB.html
UPDATE 24.1.2017: The smog emergency warning has been lifted in Prague today. In some areas the air quality is still bad.

A sudden downpour accompanied by strong winds lashed parts of Hyderabad and Secunderabad on Tuesday night after the twin cities witnessed one of the hottest days this year. Though the unexpected rain left the roads waterlogged it gave relief from the scorching heat. However, there were traffic jams and power outages too.
As of 8 pm on Tuesday, the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) announced that Bolarum in Alwal received a rainfall of 29.8 mm while Malkaram area near Kapra received 26.8 mm, followed by Medchal at 23 mm. Parts of the city such as Quthbullapur received 11.3 mm while Jeedimetla saw rainfall of 7.5 mm. Asifabad in Kumuram Bheem Asifabad district recorded the highest rainfall in the state at 42.5 mm
The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) swung into action with Commissioner M Dana Kishore alerting the municipal body's Disaster Response Force and other officials to ensure that normalcy was resumed at the earliest.
Earlier in the day, Hyderabad witnessed a maximum temperature of 42 degree Celsius, a deviation of 2.5 degrees above normal. Parts of Adilabad sizzled as the area witnessed a maximum temperature of 45.4 degree Celsius, followed by Nizamabad at 45.1 degrees.
The IMD also said that the heat wave conditions are likely to continue through the day till May 25, even as thunderstorms accompanied by lightning and gusty winds would occur over isolated places across the state in the evenings, especially in the districts of Komaram Bheem Asifabad, Jagtial, Karimnagar, Mancherial, Nalgonda, Suryapet, Wanaparthy and Hyderabad.
The Telangana government officials held a review meeting in Hyderabad on Tuesday to oversee the weather situation in the state.
in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, 11 places witnessed temperatures higher than 45 degree Celsius on Monday, with Kurnool recording the highest temperature of 45.84 degree Celsius.

WILKES-BARRE — The Susquehanna River is expected to crest at 19.6 feet at 8 a.m. today, according to the National Weather Service.
Flood stage is 22 feet.
A record rainfall of 1.02 inches was recorded at the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport on Thursday night. The previous record was .84 set in 1947.


The Olympic Games spark the movement of people and cargo like no other event in the world, and with this movement comes the burden of a massive carbon footprint. Team Canada recognized the impact their travel to Rio 2016 would have on the environment, and decided to partner with Vancouver based firm, Offsetters Climate Solutions, to help “offset” the environmental impact. The team, which comprised 313 athletes and a considerable number of coaches, physicians and support staff, travelled a total of 15.7 million kilometres, approximately equal to 392 trips around the planet.
Carbon offsetting is a well-known concept nowadays and it simply aims at reducing emissions of carbon dioxide or greenhouse gases to compensate for emissions elsewhere. Greenhouse gases help trap the heat within the Earth’s atmosphere and its surface. These gases play a key role in keeping the surface of the Earth at a habitable temperature but an increase in the amount of greenhouse gases can be a significant contributor to global warming. Greenhouse gases are emitted through any form of burning of fuel; it can be industrial, automotive, or even human breathing!
This is not the first time that the travelling contingent from Canada has taken the initiative to limit their impact on the environment. With the help of the same firm, the team travelling to London 2012 and Sochi 2014 had gone “carbon neutral” by reducing greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 2,151 and 1,290 tonnes respectively.
The calculations done by the firm suggested an emission of 3,008 tonnes for the travel of Team Canada (including cargo) to Rio 2016. An equivalent volume of greenhouse gases will be reduced through state-of-the-art projects within Canada and across the world. A successful implementation of the projects will mean Team Canada, through its efforts since 2012, would have reduced carbon emission equivalent to 1/6th of the emission by the Canadian population in a day through respiration. Projects like the “Efficient Wood Cook Stoves” in Uganda and “Quadra Island Forestland Conservation” in Canada are going to contribute towards offsetting the carbon emission due to travel and shipment.
Team Canada is proud to continue its efforts to offset carbon emissions. We had pledged that Vancouver would not be a one-off, and we are happy that we have successfully initiated carbon offsetting measures for London 2012, Sochi 2014 and Rio 2016.
Erin Mathany, Director Strategic Partnership, Canadian Olympic Committee
The new stoves in Uganda increase combustion efficiency and heat transfer capabilities. This means that lesser amount of wood needs to be burnt to produce more heat. In addition, it reduces particulate matter from burning of food, consequently reducing indoor air pollution deaths which presently amounts to 1.5 million per year.
The project in Quadra Island helped protect around 4.2 square kilometres of forestland, in turn reducing greenhouse gas levels and conserving site-specific features. The carbon emission reduced is equivalent to removal of approximately 19,193 cars off the road annually.
Team Canada are proud to continue the carbon neutral legacy first initiated by Offsettters with the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Committee for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.
As of today, the partnership struck by Team Canada has helped reduce carbon emissions equivalent to 6,449 tonnes. The success and legacy of the initiatives starting from Vancouver 2010, and continuing through London 2012, Sochi 2014 and Rio 2016 will encourage the Canadian NOC to push for similar environment protection measures in the future and hopefully lay down a marker for other NOCs to follow.
