An "Extreme Heat Belt" will soon emerge in the U.S. Much of the country can expect expected to experience heat indices above 125°F by 20
A new study reveals the emergence of an "extreme heat belt" from Texas to Illinois, where the heat index could reach 125°F at least one day a year by 2053.

The big picture: In just 30 years, climate change will cause the Lower 48 states to be a far hotter and more precarious place to be during the summer.

The findings come from a hyperlocal analysis of current and future extreme heat events published Monday by the nonprofit First Street Foundation.

The new report is unique for examining current and future heat risks down to the property level across the country, and joins similar risk analyses First Street has completed for flooding and wildfires.

As average temperatures increase due to human-driven greenhouse gas emissions, mainly from the burning of fossil fuels for energy, instances of extreme heat are forecast to escalate.

This report makes clear where households will be vulnerable to what would now be considered almost unheard-of heat indices, which show how the air feels from the combination of air temperature and relative humidity.

Threat Level: The report, which is based on First Street's peer reviewed heat model, shows that the number of Americans currently exposed to "extreme heat," defined as having a maximum heat index of greater than 125°F, is just 8 million.

However, due to the anticipated warming during the next three decades, that number is expected to balloon to 107 million people, an increase of 13 times over 13 years.

The developing "Extreme Heat Belt" forms a region of vulnerability from northern Texas to Illinois, and includes the cities of St. Louis, Kansas City, Memphis, Tulsa and Chicago.

By 2030, some coastal areas in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic may also experience days with a heat index above 125°F, the report found.

Sounds like a repeat of the dust bowl, but with more agriculture and far more urban heat islands contributing heat to the natural cycle.

Meanwhile Arctic ice extent is at 12th least in recent records, which is higher than the 2010 decadal average and
approaching the 2000s decadal average.

So much for the dire "blue water" Arctic predictions
made by climate fear-mongers over the last 40 years.

First of all, release from Lake Mead has been lowering for the past 20 years, not increasing with demand..

You don't think it has anything to do with the US west ‘megadrought’ which is the worst in at least 1,200 years has anything to do with it, do you?

The American west has spent the last two decades in what scientists are now saying is the most extreme megadrought in at least 1,200 years.

The study builds upon previous research from Williams, which found that 2000 to 2018 was the second driest 19-year span in 1,200 years. But an exceptionally dry summer in 2021 pushed the current drought to the top. That summer, the country’s two largest reservoirs, Lake Mead and Lake Powell, “reached their lowest levels on record, triggering unprecedented restrictions on Colorado River usage,” the study states.

2021 was was the warmest on record in California and nationwide. In July that year, Death Valley's daily average temperature was the highest ever recorded on the planet.

That probably didn't have anything to do with it either.

 Quoting: Peter Quill


OK, I googled it. And that's pseudoscience

Some climate sceptics argue that the warming we are now experiencing is simply due to the planet recovering from the Little Ice Age, a period of regionally cold conditions between roughly AD 1350 and 1850. But the key question is why it was colder during the Little Ice Age. And why didn’t the climate remain that way, or even get colder still?

The Earth does not have some natural temperature to which it always returns. If it cools, then it must be receiving less heat from the Sun or radiating more into space, or both. If it warms, it must be receiving more heat or retaining more heat.

The term “Little Ice Age” is somewhat questionable, because there was no single, well-defined period of prolonged cold around the entire planet. After 1600, there are records of average winter temperatures in Europe and North America that were as much as 2°C lower than present (although the third coldest winter in England since 1659 was in 1963).

Comparisons of temperature indicators such as tree-ring records from around the northern hemisphere suggest there were several widespread cold intervals between 1580 and 1850.

Yet while there is some evidence of cold intervals in parts of the southern hemisphere during this time, they do not appear to coincide with those in the northern hemisphere. Such findings suggest the Little Ice Age may have been more of a regional phenomenon than a global one.

Solar radiation was probably lower at times during this period, especially during a dip in solar activity called the Maunder minimum around 1700, but models and temperature reconstructions suggest this would have reduced average global temperatures by 0.4ºC at most.

The larger falls in temperature in Europe and North American may have been due to changes in atmospheric circulation over the North Atlantic, or in the Gulf Stream, or both, reducing heat transport from the tropics (see Climate change sceptics lose vital argument).

The warming after the so-called Little Ice Age may reflect both an increase in solar activity and a redistribution of heat around the planet. In particular, the increase in global temperature in the first half of the 20th century may have been largely due to an increase in solar activity. The continued warming in recent decades, however, cannot be explained by increases in solar radiation alone

Summer 2022 outpacing 2011 as hottest on record

We all know it has been hot this summer, but what if we told you it's currently trending as one of the hottest on record in Austin?

May and June of this year have already gone down in the history books as the hottest on record at the Camp Mabry climate site. With only a few days left in the month, it's safe to say July will also be the hottest on record.

As of July 25, our average high temperature over the course of the month is 103.9 degrees. The current record for warmest July average high temperature on record is 102.1 degrees set back in 2011.

With that in mind, we thought we'd take a look at how summer 2022 is stacking up to 2011. So far, this year is outpacing summer 2011 when it comes to average temperatures. Average temperatures factor in both the daily afternoon highs and overnight lows.

What should we expect for next month? Current long-range forecast models have above-average temperatures continuing at least through the beginning of August.
