Scott Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Iran shuts down for two days because of 'unprecedented heat' Iran has announced Wednesday and Thursday this week will be public holidays because of "unprecedented heat" and told the elderly and people with health conditions to stay indoors, Iranian state media reported. Many cities in southern Iran have already suffered from days of exceptional heat. State media reported temperatures had this week exceeded 123 degrees Fahrenheit (51 Celsius) in the southern city of Ahvaz. https://news.yahoo.com/iran-shuts-down-two-days-114825293.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozimoron Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) Southern, mostly red states, are going to suffer extreme heat, if not the greatest effects of climate change, first. That should be a wake up call to any climate change denying GOP politicians going forward. Ya'll gotta get elected you know.

The relief wasn't all that great — the day's highs were forecast near 108 degrees, or about 42 Celsius — and the heat was expected to rise past 110 again later in the week. But residents and visitors were taking what they could get. https://www.foxnews.com/us/phoenix-welcomes-respite-record-breaking-31-day-heatwave-monsoon-rains-arrive Edited August 2, 2023 by metisdead 6.

Chomper Higgot Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 2 hours ago, bignok said: Totally wrong. https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2015/12/what-old-weather-reports-dont-reveal-about-climate-change/419850/ And then there are the thermometers themselves. Thermometer enclosures, which shield the temperature sensor from direct sunlight and other sources of radiation, can be wooden or plastic; the variation in materials can, in turn, introduce discrepancies in the results (which some stations in the U.S. discovered firsthand in the 1980s when they switched from traditional enclosures to electronic screens). The instruments are also sensitive to their surroundings: If you measure the temperature on a sunny day versus a cloudy day, direct sunlight on the thermometer will record a higher temperature, even if the two days are equally warm. Nonsense, accurate reliable temperature measurement was achieved and has been standard for well over a century. And the understanding of the impact of measuring conditions is also well established measurement science. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millions died, just none of the thousands that I know. No, it's not always somewhere else. It's my home. I have a house there and I spend a lot of time there. As a matter of fact, I endured ALL of the past month in Phoenix. Oh, and for Covid, my neighbor died of it and several family members. I was also here in 2020 which was the previous hottest year. It was nothing like what we are experiencing. But here's what I have witnessed: Longest streak of 110-degree days: Phoenix recorded 31 consecutive days with a high temperature of 110 degrees or higher, from June 30 to July 30. This broke the previous record of 18 consecutive days, set in 1974. Most days with a high temperature of 115 degrees or higher: Phoenix had 17 days with a high temperature of 115 degrees or higher in July 2023. This tied the record set in 2020. Highest average high temperature: The average high temperature in Phoenix in July 2023 was 114.7 degrees Fahrenheit. This was the highest average high temperature for any month in Phoenix history. Highest average low temperature: The average low temperature in Phoenix in July 2023 was 90.8 degrees Fahrenheit. This was the highest average low temperature for any month in Phoenix history. Those cooling containers used to store bodies during Covid have been brought back to be used for those dying from the heat. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Scott Posted August 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2023 Posts containing false or misleading information have been removed along with replies. The National Weather Service (NWS) has specific guidelines for the placement of official temperature gauges. These guidelines are designed to ensure that the temperature readings are as accurate as possible. Here are some of the guidelines for the placement of official temperature gauges: The gauge must be placed in a shaded area. The gauge must be placed at a height of 5 feet above ground level. The gauge must be placed in an open area, free of obstructions. The gauge must be placed in a location that is representative of the surrounding area. The NWS also conducts regular checks of official temperature gauges to ensure that they are functioning properly. This helps to ensure that the temperature readings are accurate and reliable. For more information on how and where weather instruments are placed, here are some sources: National Weather Service (NWS): The NWS has specific guidelines for the placement of official temperature gauges. These guidelines are available on the NWS website. American Meteorological Society (AMS): The AMS also has guidelines for the placement of temperature gauges. These guidelines are available in the AMS publication Guidelines for Meteorological Observations. International Organization for Standardization (ISO): The ISO has developed international standards for the placement of temperature gauges. These standards are available in the ISO publication ISO 9001:2015. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But no valid scientific explanation for the current rapid rise in temperature apart from the effects of greenhouse gasses exists. It's quite a coinicidence that the theory has been right on target in predicting the speed of global warming." I didn't misleadingly quote you , I merely wrote what you said .

TRUE, and there is a mathematical reason. Local papers, papers playing to their region' readers often get to make the quotes shown above. Not stated is that land warms faster than oceans, and ¾ or the planet is ocean. Loss of albedo reflection allows changes in the Arctic to also be at higher than globally average rates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give us all your money in the form of green taxes and we'll redistribute it as we see fit. Stop desiring luxurious items, stop taking holidays, just go to work, pay your taxes to big state and be happy with a cup of lentil soup and a blanket in winter. Meanwhile, we, the adults in the room, will jet around the world to climate conferences and parade ourselves as the literal saviours of the world. Good work, if you can get it.
