Experts say extreme heat is officially no longer just an environmental threat — it's a global health emergency. According to Ian Williams, Professor of Applied Environmental Science at the University of Southampton, the heatwaves the world is currently experiencing reveal that heat is no longer a future climate risk. It is here — and it is already taking a toll. He notes that the level of heat the planet is currently experiencing places a massive physical burden on the human body, forcing the heart and kidneys to work overtime to regulate internal temperatures. For those with pre-existing conditions, this physiological stress can prove fatal long before heatstroke sets in, worsening chronic heart, lung, and kidney diseases. Furthermore, the threat is no longer limited to historically hot regions, as rising temperatures consistently outpace local historical averages worldwide. The crisis extends beyond the human body, compromising the very infrastructure designed to keep us safe. Sweltering heatwaves buckle transit lines, disrupt water supplies, and overwhelm electrical grids, leading to power outages that shut down hospital services and vital cooling systems. To combat this, experts are urging a rapid overhaul of urban design, advocating for climate-resilient building materials and expanded green spaces to help cities adapt. Because the negative health impacts of extreme heat are largely preventable, proactive local planning and robust climate policies are now critical to saving lives in our increasingly warming world. source: Williams, I.

@MyLordBebo Well it is more of a design issue for expansion and it looks like it is missing

🇧🇪 Europe's heatwave is exposing some serious weaknesses. In Brussels, the tram tracks literally jumped off the rails from the extreme heat. This is what happens when infrastructure isn't built for reality. Writer: Sol

It’s not the air conditioners that are the problem, but the LEVEL OF SCIENTIFIC EDUCATION Spotted this "cooling" setup in Vienna, Austria, just 200 meters from the Faculty of Physics Short reminder that you cannot cheat thermodynamics: Physics always wins!

It's a private weather station, and regularly gets either the UK highest or lowest. Even both on the same day. A quick Google tells you it's badly located, by a car park & large sand area, and has a tree wind break. The Met Office should stop using bad data.

🇩🇪 Germany shatters heat record! New all-time high: 41.5°C (106.7°F) yesterday (June 27). It followed 41.3°C the day before — beating the old record of 41.2°C from 2019.

A heatwave that was supposed to represent the year 2050 is already unfolding in France right now. Back in 2014, French meteorologist Évelyne Dhéliat presented a hypothetical summer forecast showing what an extreme August heatwave might look like in 2050. The map highlighted temperatures in 34 French cities ranging from 79°F to 109°F. This week, France shattered parts of that warning. According to reporting highlighted by Futurism, 19 of those 34 cities exceeded the “2050” temperatures projected in the old scenario. In some locations, actual readings hit 112.3°F, more than 20°F hotter than the hypothetical future forecast. The World Meteorological Organization has emphasized that the 2014 map was never a strict prediction, but rather an illustrative scenario based on climate science to show what a warmer world could feel like. Still, the comparison is sobering. France is currently gripped by an intense heatwave sweeping across Western Europe. Authorities have closed major landmarks such as the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower, and the country just recorded its hottest single day in history.

🥵 It's so hot in Poland that people are frying eggs outdoors In Warsaw, a woman left a frying pan in the sun and, after a while, cooked an egg on it. Poland is in the grip of an extreme heatwave, with temperatures approaching 40°C in some areas. On the bright side, you can save on electricity and cook breakfast right on your balcony.

Listening to an oldie LP with David Gates/Bread in the basement room. Loved them in the 70’s coldest room in the house as most of it is underground.
