My weather app said it was going to get really hot around midnight and the cause of this was that the government needed to hunt a certain, unassuming fish, which ended up being a plant.

The weather app pisses me off, saying it's going to rain at 12 then 12 comes and it says no actually it'll be at 1 then 1 comes and it's like no it's going to rain at 2.

A historically hot summer continues its deadly rampage with no signs of letting up.

A historically hot summer in the United States is causing a deadly surge in July, with the toll expected to rise as the hottest days are yet to come.

This has been the hottest summer on record for around 100 US cities, spanning from Maine to California. Heat is suspected in the deaths of at least 37 people in the US in July, though this number is likely underestimated due to the time it takes to attribute deaths to extreme heat, nature’s most prolific weather killer.

Many of the deaths have occurred in the West, where cities have shattered all-time high-temperature records during an unprecedented and prolonged heatwave—conditions scientists link to the effects of climate change driven by fossil fuel pollution.

In Santa Clara County, California alone, heat is being investigated as the cause of at least 19 deaths, according to the county’s medical examiner office.

While everyone is vulnerable to heat, certain groups are at higher risk. These include children, the elderly, pregnant individuals, people with heart or blood pressure issues, outdoor workers, and anyone without access to reliable cooling.

In Santa Clara County, at least three of the potential heat-related deaths involved unhoused individuals without adequate access to cooling, and nine were over the age of 65, the county medical examiner reported to CNN.

In Southeast Texas, at least one person has died from heat-related causes, as over 1 million people remain without power four days after Hurricane Beryl. Others have died or fallen ill from improper attempts to stay cool using generators.

Tragically, four children have lost their lives this month due to heat-related incidents: a 2-year-old in Arizona and Georgia, a 4-year-old in Texas, and a 5-year-old in Nebraska who were left in cars. Additionally, a 10-year-old child died from a heat-related medical event while hiking in a Phoenix park amid scorching temperatures last week, as Phoenix has broken or tied multiple daily heat records since July began.

In Phoenix, temperatures have soared above 110 degrees, with nightly lows remaining above 90 degrees since last Tuesday. Maricopa County is investigating dozens of deaths potentially linked to extreme heat.

Oregon has reported at least 10 suspected heat-related deaths, with six occurring in Portland's Multnomah County. Portland saw record-breaking highs for five consecutive days last week, with temperatures reaching triple digits on three occasions.

The heat wave has also impacted outdoor enthusiasts. A motorcyclist succumbed to heat exposure in Death Valley, where temperatures soared to 128 degrees, setting a new daily record and coming within six degrees of the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth.

A 50-year-old man also tragically passed away while hiking in Grand Canyon National Park on Sunday amid extreme heat, confirmed by the National Park Service.

Confirming heat as the cause of these deaths remains a complex process, as noted by David S. Jones, a physician and historian at Harvard University, in previous comments to CNN. Medical examiners or coroners must determine a single cause of death, and in some areas, these officials may lack medical backgrounds, being political appointees or elected officials.

"The assessment of (cause of death) itself is intricate," Jones explained. "For instance, if someone is found deceased in an apartment, determining the primary cause of death—such as attributing it to heart disease because the heart stopped—is often the approach taken by many medical examiners."

As more deaths are confirmed and temperatures remain high, heat-related fatalities are expected to increase in the coming weeks.

While the intense heat in the Western United States is set to gradually ease starting late this weekend, temperatures will return to near-normal or slightly above-average summer levels. July typically remains hot across the region, even without daily record-breaking heat.

Across much of the US, above-average temperatures are forecasted to persist through the end of July and potentially into early August, according to the Climate Prediction Center.

Apple’s weather app said Sacramento would reach 119 degrees next week. How accurate is it?

June 27, 2024 - Sacramento Bee

Ahead of a coming heat wave that will continue through the Fourth of July, Sacramento residents woke up on Thursday morning to see Apple’s weather app predicting a highs well over 100 degrees in the next week.

The most surprising forecast, however, was an estimated high of 119 degrees on Saturday, July 6.

“It almost certainly will not be 119 degrees in Sacramento next week, although it does look like it’s going to be very hot, and there may be some record-breaking heat,” said Daniel Swain, a climate scientist at the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability...

Swain said weather apps, including Apple’s, are “frustratingly unsophisticated” given modern advancements in weather forecasting, and that they do not accurately convey best estimates of future weather.

A spokesman for Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

By early Thursday afternoon, the Apple forecast for July 6 had fallen to 106 degrees...

When the temperature exaggeration becomes this extreme, people start to notice! Restored monsoonal conditions and the new increased humidity in California make it feel hotter than we're used to. Instead of reporting the actual humidity and temperatures, they underestimate humidity and overestimate temperature and people usually fall for it.

One of my lock screens (Changing Lock Screen, switches photos when tapped)

If anyone is wondering this is why the time looks different and what language it’s in!

Idk why I did that I just thought it looked cool😂

And no it does not usually look that obvious (In that photo it looks like it says 03:30[am] and it was but it doesn’t always seem self explanatory)

This was one minute after (03:31) like what😭

For the weather app thing, I have some suggestions. Governments, not private services, are responsible for gathering and interpreting weather data including projections and radar. This information is freely available to the public, which is why every news channel, newspaper and app can run weather info.

If you're Canadian, the government itself runs an app called WeatherCanada which gives you this information directly with no cost to install, in-app purchases or ads. It actually runs really well and gives the most current information (updated every ten mins) and directly gives the government's weather warnings in notifications as they occur and end. I use it exclusively, and I really, really like it. They also give fun weather facts and explain phenomena in easy to understand explanations. It looks like this on Google Play:

If you're American, your weather agency is called NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). They don't have an app, but they do have a free, ad-less site that works well on mobile. The link I'm supplying here will open on New York City, but you can search your own location and just bookmark that. It's a bare-bones and kinda ugly site, but it's readable, functional, loads fast and has all of NOAA's weather info available for you - including long term forecasts, maps, radar, and weather warnings.

Texas requires funding to ensure continuous electricity supply during severe weather conditions. As a result, it is allocating more resources to support fossil fuels.

Ensuring continuous electricity can mean the difference between life and death, a reality underscored this week in Houston. As temperatures soared, hundreds of thousands endured brutal heat without air conditioning.

The city faced consecutive severe storms: first, a powerful derecho in May shattered skyscraper windows and plunged downtown Houston into darkness. Then, an early-season Category 1 hurricane, Beryl, knocked out power for over 2 million customers.

Texas's electric grid struggles to keep pace. Downed trees and strong winds toppled local power lines, and the May derecho even twisted massive transmission towers into mangled metal. Despite these challenges, instead of bolstering grid resilience to maintain lights and A/C during increasingly extreme weather, Texas is investing billions in new natural gas-fired power plants.

Doug Lewin, a Texas energy expert, acknowledges the necessity of adding electricity capacity due to rising demand. However, flooding the grid with fossil fuels won't fortify power lines against severe storms. "Large-scale gas generation offers no help in hurricane scenarios," Lewin explained to CNN. "The issue lies with transmission capacity. Having surplus power means nothing if it can't reach those in need."

This push for natural gas plants follows the devastating February 2021 deep freeze that claimed over 200 lives and left millions without power or heat. Despite political rhetoric against wind energy, it was natural gas plant failures that caused most outages.

Recent mass outages, including those from downed lines, highlight vulnerabilities. "The weak link has always been the wires and poles," noted Michael Webber, an energy expert at the University of Texas at Austin. "Yet, the state prioritizes natural gas power over grid hardening."

Just months before Beryl struck, Houston's Centerpoint Energy projected needing $2 billion to weatherproof its system against worsening weather extremes. Since 2015, the city has weathered multiple hurricanes, tropical storms, and other severe weather events, stressing its infrastructure.

Weather Forecast For 05446 - Colchester VT:

Joshua Rhodes, an energy research scientist at UT Austin, pointed out the cumulative toll on aging infrastructure from successive storms. "This region has endured three major events recently," Rhodes said. "Each storm leaves its mark, potentially compromising infrastructure still recovering from previous hits."

In essence, while Texas faces mounting weather challenges, its focus on natural gas expansion over grid fortification raises concerns about its readiness for future storms and extreme conditions.

According to Rhodes, much of Texas's electrical infrastructure dates back to the 1970s and 1980s, a time when weather conditions were less severe. A significant portion of the electrical poles are constructed from wood, which becomes increasingly brittle under extreme heat and subsequent flooding. With Texas now experiencing consecutive storms, this infrastructure is showing signs of strain.

"It's not surprising that infrastructure designed for milder weather is failing more frequently," Rhodes noted. Some utilities are beginning to replace wooden poles with stronger fiberglass materials, while others are considering the costly option of burying electrical lines underground.

CNN's conversations with experts highlighted another issue among Texas officials: a reluctance to acknowledge the significant impact of a warming climate on intensifying storms.

State authorities have mandated that utilities like Centerpoint draft weather resilience plans but have provided limited financial support to implement these improvements.

"Since Texas's political leadership does not acknowledge climate change, utilities can discuss extreme weather events but cannot explicitly tie them to climate change or outline proactive measures," explained Alison Silverstein, an independent energy consultant in Texas. "Addressing these challenges requires substantial investment, ultimately funded by customers."

Lewin emphasized one potential solution: microgrids powered by a combination of solar energy and natural gas. These smaller, independent power networks can supply critical facilities such as nursing homes and hospitals during major events like hurricanes.

Despite being allocated over $1 billion alongside funding for natural gas plants, Lewin highlighted that these funds have remained untapped at the Texas Public Service Commission.

"We must ensure that vulnerable populations, like elderly individuals during extreme heat, have continuous access to power," Lewin stressed. "This is non-negotiable. Anything less than complete reliability is unacceptable."
