This was a problem with #Houston's hot summer. Unusual and unbearable humidity. #Dallas usually gets higher temperature, but drier. Not this year #HeatDome #globalwarming
The forecast shows the #heatdome persisting until Wednesday. Here an animated gif from Sunday to Thursday. The high (good weather) and low pressure (rain) regions on either side of the #Rossbywave meanders are textbook examples of the phenomenon.

Me: "The isobars my father wore.."
"Brazil is bracing for a heat wave that could see temperatures rise to 113 degrees Fahrenheit (45 degrees Celsius) during the Southern Hemisphere's final days of winter. That temperature would reportedly break a record in the country -- not just for winter, but for any time of year."

Record heat in Mongolia and Thailand.
India experienced the “hottest and driest” August “since national records began more than a century ago.”
The Philippines government has capped rice prices due to prices increases resulting from “extreme weather such as floods and heat waves.”

THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT: Heat will be an issue for a lot of territory this week. Some moisture areas will shift focus from the West to the Northern Rockies and Plains, & the tropics remain quite active. Let’s discuss these bullets.

Lotta home explosions 🏡💥 all across the country during the summer of the #HeatDome. 🤔 👉 https://www.newschannel5.com/news/person-dead-after-propane-tank-incident-at-home-in-williamson-county
And it’s only gonna get hotter 🥵 folks!
If you think you might be crazy to buy a house with gas heating and/or cooking, you are. ✅ Any other questions?
Sad but true. It was discussed a lot during the #HeatDome 2 summers ago.
My building (a low-rise walkup in East Van) certainly wasn't built with heat or cold in mind. It's uncomfortably hot in summer and we need space heaters in winter to keep it liveable if the temperature drops too fast.

Performed inspection on our original #beehive. Lots of stored pollen, very little nectar/honey, & a few capped drone cells. #Bees must have eaten their stores during the #HeatDome. Put a trough of nectar in. Pondering putting a frame of eggs in from swarm hive.🤔 #Beekeeping
We're missing the blooms that should still be present in our #ButterflyGarden already. The recent #HeatDome in the #MidWest that caused 100°+ weather killed it off. 😔
#Caturday 🐈has begun with RAIN 🌧️here! Our prediction was🌧️ happily incorrect! The #HeatDome is leaving our area and temps should return to normal horrible hot, rather than nightmare horrible hot. The #Catio is fully open again 😸#CatsOfMastodon
#HeatDome Here is the official hoped for break in our week long Excessive Heat event. No one in my family believes this will actually happen, but we're hoping it will.
Day 7: This had better be the last day of these #HeatDome shenanigans! 😤 Grass and plants fairly torched at this point. It's trying to conjure up a t-storm out there, but it's just hot, hot, hot! 🥵 Humans and animals are just exhausted! #KsWx #ExcessiveHeat #ExtremeWeather
The #Asheville area, nestled under this dreadful #heatdome for the week, will stay in the 90's through Saturday and then... highs next week in the middle 70's!
Really couldn't be more pleased. And rain!
This #FriYay I'm sleeping in. Even though all the drapes ain the house are closed cuz' of the #HeatDome🥵 I still enjoy napping in the sewing/sanctuary room. Hope everyone enduring terrible weather stays safe. Be kind and help one another. 🐈 #CatsOfMastodon #TabbyCat
I can see the tall storm clouds at the Wisconsin border and, listening carefully, I can hear thunder as well. The storms seems to be stalling before heading too far south though. When will the relief from this heat come?! We had a pretty sunset though, I'll grant you that.

Day 6: It's a warm one! Less humidity this afternoon, which is nice. #KsWx #ExcessiveHeat #ExtremeWeather #HeatDome
My wife is crestfallen by the trauma of the #HeatDome - no animal presence, no cars, no people, just 121° Heat index aka 49.x°C, and frankly, I cant comfort her or reframe it or etc

This #Thursday at 4:00 PM my #Catio is 106° in the shade under a dangerous #HeatDome on it's way to #Chicago. Hope that city is prepared to care for all its vulnerable citizens EQUALLY. 🥵 As for me, I went outside very early. Now I have to stay inside. #CatsOfMastodon #TuxieGirl #Betty

#WhiskerWednesday is happening under a horrid #HeatDome. I can't be outside in 100° plus weather so I'm doing this instead 👇#TuxieGirl #Betty #Catting #CatsOfMastodon
#WhiskerWednesday under a ☀️🥵#HeatDome in the #MidWest is going to be horrible. The feel like temp is going to be 115° with humidity in 60%-80% . My #Catio will be closed in about 20 minutes due to #ExessiveHeat. I don't like being stuck inside all day, especially since all the drapes are closed 😿. But mom butler staff says it's not safe outside, so I must put up with it.

Day 4: Still "Hell's Front Porch" hot here. The struggle is real. Same story, different day. 🥵 #HeatDome #KsWx #ExcessiveHeat #ExtremeWeather
We got 5 minutes of rain today. A brief respite from the summer above 100°F. #Austin #HeatDome https://youtu.be/y8t-SjMnEbs
#TongueOutTuesday *Sigh* My #Catio was closed again by noon due to excessive heat. I cried n cried😿 to go out but cat mom remained firm. It's not safe for cats. When is this #HeatDome gonna end? 🥵 #TabbyCat #Stevie #CatsOfMastodon
A bizarre kind of climate change bingo: Watching locations of universities where I interviewed but did not get offers for faculty positions make headlines for extreme dangerous heat.
Did not see this coming.

"[The #HeatDome] will bring more scorching temperatures to Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, and most of the Balkan peninsula. Temperatures will push back into close to 45 °C in parts of the Iberian peninsula, low 40s in southern France and North-cental Italy, and into high 30s to low 40s across south-central Balkans."

@w7voa I took a look. Looks like it is for wedneday. Of you tap on the alert you will see a start time. Parts of WI could see triple digits, and heat index values will most certainly be in the triple digits.
We are dealing with extreme heat all week here in the south east. Stay safe/cool!

Monstrous #heatdome over the central US, among strongest on the books in the region.

This is the precipitation forecast for the continental U.S. over the next 5 days.

The #heatdome, Day 2. I'm on my way out to give the ram-lambs 🐏🐏🐏🐏 some cold water as their trough gets heated by the sun this time of day and they need cold water to try to stay cool.
I'm glad I checked the #garden today. Apparently I was behind in picking. Currently 83°F feels like 94°F at 87% humidity. Now I'm drenched in sweat! 🥵 #HeatDome #GardeningMastodon #GrowYourOwn #Food

"This expansion of the #HeatDome may be the most wide-reaching of the summer. By early in the coming workweek, most of the Lower 48 is forecast to see temperatures well above normal, with the West being the one exception."

“It doesn’t take a lot of auditing to see how the bill will get so steep, so fast. The total cost of the 2016 #FortMcMurray fire: $9 billion. The all-in price tag of B.C.’s 2021 #HeatDome, #wildfires, #floods and #landslide, all linked to warming: up to $17 billion. Cleanup and repair after #HurricaneFiona, which bulldozed #AtlanticCanada last year: $3 billion.”
“the #HeatDome was a foreshock of the world to come, with impacts both immediate and long-lasting. Yet it occurred in a world that has only warmed, on average, about 1.2 degrees since 1850. We’re now racing to 1.5 degrees and are likely to cross that threshold by the mid-2030s.”

#fossilfuels companies that extracted oil, coal and gas that have powered our planet for decades... By 2013... just 90 companies contributed 2/3rds of the world’s industrial emissions.
Richard Heede could even pinpoint the share of those emissions for which companies existing today are responsible.
A half hour later at 5:45 am the sky is brightening but the skyscape is changing rapidly as clouds begin dissipating and more clear blue sky is showing. This iPhone photo is from the same spot in my #Phoenix backyard as the photo in the first post, looking west. Instead of joy at the skies clearing, this is a sunrise photo of disappointment. Read my description in the first post. Over 29 days now of daily highs over 110°, y’all. #HeatWave #HeatDome #ClimateChange #Sunrise #Phoenix
My new image of a great sunrise is clouds spanning the sky over my home in scorched Phoenix, Arizona. We have a possibility of rain today and for the next few days. It could be a devastating monsoon with wind and flash flooding and much damage. Yet the prospect that we could see a daily high under 110° after 29 days over 110° is a better outcome after a record-breaking heat wave. #HeatWave #HeatDome #ClimateChange #Phoenix #Sunrise #Skyscape #Clouds
An #Arizona #wildlife center is receiving up to 120 animals a day suffering from the relentless #heat
"The relentless sun -- it hurts"
By Macie Goldfarb
Published Jul 27, 2023 12:32 PM EDT
"Mosby and her team aren’t the only ones working to protect Arizona’s vulnerable wildlife as the unwavering heat continues to torment animals and humans alike.
"To help the state’s animals survive the #ExtremeWeather, the Arizona Game and Fish Department has been bringing water to the wild to help keep animals hydrated.
"The agency deploys water shipments on trucks and helicopters to man-made catchments across Arizona – some capable of holding up to 10,000 gallons of water, according to habitat planning program manager Joseph Currie.
"Currie estimates there are about 3,000 of these man-made watering holes around the state where #deer, #elk, #BighornSheep and other animals now drink and cool themselves off in the extreme heat.
"When Arizona hit 110 degrees 27 days ago, water gauges showed that usage exploded, Currie said.
"The watering holes were originally created for #quail and #doves to increase hunting population numbers, but newer catchments grew in size over the years as the agency found that more animals needed a drink.
"#Droughts and #HeatWaves are occurring more often and becoming more intense across the nation – particularly in the West and Southwest – creating dangerous conditions and affecting water supplies for wildlife, according to the US Fish and Wildlife Service.
"The program is currently funded by a combination of federal funds and fund-raising efforts. But 'if it keeps heating up and keeps drying out, then of course costs are going to increase,' Currie said."
@RichardJMurphy Politicians will burn through tonnes of fuel flying in private jets to do nothing after the photo shoots have ended.
As someone who is living within the Southern Europe heat dome for the past two weeks it feels like I'm in a dehydrator set at over 40C (104F) night and day. We are experiencing main power lines melting and towns and cities without power for days. And we're told next year we'll be worse because of el ninio.
Here in Phoenix we are expected to continue extreme heat at least until Sunday next week July 30. This would make an entire month of extreme heat. It’s 108° as of 8:30 pm at my home. Worried about continuing heat-triggered migraines for my son and I. Drew on 9th day migraines. I began one today.

"Record #global ocean heating has invaded Florida with a vengeance.
"Water temperatures in the mid-90s (mid-30s Celsius) are threatening delicate coral reefs, depriving swimmers of cooling dips and adding a bit more ick to the Sunshine State's already oppressive summer weather. Forecasters are warning of temperatures that with humidity will feel like 110 degrees (43 degrees Celsius) by week's end.
"The #HeatDome that baked #Texas and #Mexico for much of the early summer has oozed its way to Florida with sunshine, little to no cooling clouds or rain, but humidity worsened by the hot oceans.
"If that's not enough, Florida is about to get a dose of #dust from Africa's #Saharan desert that's likely to hurt air quality."

Repeated upper level troughs will likely keep the Southwest #HeatDome from having strong impacts in the Pacific Northwest, positioning the jet stream between the two weather features for onshore flow and fairly benign summer conditions in Washington and Oregon.
This does favor thunderstorm activity in interior British Columbia, though, which will likely start some fires.
