The heat wave will bring the highest temperatures of the year so far, with some areas possibly reaching triple digits, AccuWeather meteorologists warn.</p><p>"With limited days of warmth over much of the northern Plains, Midwest and Northeast so far this year, the surging heat could catch people off guard as it will be accompanied by some of the most intense sunshine of the year along with high humidity levels.</p><p>"Because of the high humidity and intense heating during the day, many urban areas will fail to cool down much at night, with temperatures only dipping into the 70s for a brief time. This will make rest and recovery from the heat difficult for those who do not have air conditioning, AccuWeather meteorologist Danielle Ehresman said.

Researchers are trying to figure out why. </p><p>Dec. 28, 2024, 5:30 PM EST<br>By Denise Chow and Kathryn Prociv</p><p>"In a year full of extreme weather, experts say 2024’s spate of tornado outbreaks, in particular, set it apart.</p><p>From January through November (the latest month for which official counts are available), the U.S. recorded 1,762 tornadoes — the highest number in a decade, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.</p><p>"The twisters tended to be strong and destructive, the records show, especially the unusually powerful tornadoes that spawned from Hurricane Milton in October.</p><p>"'It was kind of like death by 1,000 paper cuts,' said Victor Gensini, a professor of meteorology at Northern Illinois University. 'We didn’t have an unprecedented number of violent tornadoes, and there wasn’t a month with absolutely stellar activity — outbreak after outbreak after outbreak — but when you start aggregating them all together, what you get is a pretty significant year for severe weather.'</p><p>"Tornado outbreaks were among the nation’s costliest weather and climate disasters this year. As of Nov. 1, NOAA had tallied a total of 24 weather disasters that each caused at least $1 billion in damage. Of those events, six were tornado outbreaks, including a cluster of storms over three days in July that produced more than 79 tornadoes across Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and New York. An outbreak that hit Iowa in May also made the list — it spawned a devastating tornado that killed five people and cut a 44-mile path across the southeastern part of the state.</p><p>"The flurry of tornado activity adds to an already sizable and growing set of concerns about the increasing frequency and severity of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtremeWeather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ExtremeWeather</span></a>.

DoomsdaysCW<p>Anthropogenic amplification of precipitation variability over the past century</p><p>Wenxia Zhang, Tianjun Zhou , and Peili Wu</p><p>25 Jul 2024</p><p>Abstract<br>"As the climate warms, the consequent moistening of the atmosphere increases <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtremePrecipitation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ExtremePrecipitation</span></a>. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Precipitation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Precipitation</span></a> variability should also increase, producing larger wet-dry swings, but that is yet to be confirmed observationally. Here we show that precipitation variability has already grown globally (over 75% of land area) over the past century, as a result of accumulated <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anthropogenic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>anthropogenic</span></a> warming. The increased variability is seen across daily to intraseasonal timescales, with daily variability increased by 1.2% per 10 years globally, and is particularly prominent over Europe, Australia, and eastern North America. Increased precipitation variability is driven mainly by thermodynamics linked to atmospheric moistening, modulated at decadal timescales by circulation changes. Amplified precipitation variability poses new challenges for weather and climate predictions, as well as for resilience and adaptation by societies and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecosystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ecosystems</span></a>."</p><p><a href="https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adp0212" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">science.org/doi/10.1126/scienc</span><span class="invisible">e.adp0212</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtremeWx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ExtremeWx</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Drought" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Drought</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/UnpredictableWeather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UnpredictableWeather</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtremeRains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ExtremeRains</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Flooding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Flooding</span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCatastrophe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCatastrophe</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GlobalWarming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalWarming</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateCrisis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Resiliency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Resiliency</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateAction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateAction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateActionNow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateActionNow</span></a></p>
