Zooming out: Fire weather days like today -- hot, dry & windy -- have become more common across the Pacific Northwest. Wildfire seasons are getting longer and more intense. Climate change may not spark the flames, but it creates conditions that make them more likely to spread

This excessive heat is one reason why there are wildfire concerns Monday across parts of Northern California and interior Oregon & Washington. Near-to-record September 2nd heat made at least 4x to 5x more likely due to climate change.

How about temperatures across the West made at least 5x more likely due to -- or almost virtually impossible without -- climate change?. • Mon (Sept 2): 10 million.• Tue (Sept 3): 7 million.• Wed (Sept 4): 8 million

🌡️ Excessive heat continues across the Western U.S. this week. 🔴Attribution science of the Climate Shift Index shows how many people are experiencing heat with a strong fingerprint of climate change -- heat made at least 3x more likely. 🔽

When Hurricane Erin explosively intensified in the Atlantic, the alarming part wasn’t solely how dangerous it had become as a Category 5 monster: It was also just how typical such an ultra-rapid rate...

#Katrina strengthened over waters made up to 18x more likely to be unusually hot due to climate change. Every tenth of a degree of ocean warming increases the risk of stronger storms & higher sea levels. What's changed in 20yrs after the hurricane? @BBC

Katrina was the costliest natural disaster ever recorded in the United States. How has hurricane forecasting changed since it struck?

“Sea surface temps go up. that allows the hurricane to spin faster. We have strong confidence now that we can say human-caused climate change is influencing hurricanes in very specific ways.” . Climate change's influence on #Katrina? @grist has details ⤵️

Two decades after Katrina, scientists can more easily quantify how global warming is intensifying hurricanes - and how it shaped past storms.

🍂Falling leaves, rising temperatures. Fall is just days away and the season has warmed in 237 U.S. cities. Fall warming means that risky heat, fire weather, and allergies linger later into the year. #climatematters

Lytton, Canada hit 106°F (41.1°C) on Tuesday (8/26). Extreme, late-August heat made at least 3x to 4x more likely due to climate change. 🔴In other words, heat that would be extremely rare w/out a fingerprint of climate change. (By the way, Death Valley, CA topped at 105°F)

Another layer to the heat: the Urban Heat Island effect. In Portland, 39,000+ of the city’s 55,000 K–12 students—70%—go to school where it can feel up to 8°F hotter because of the built environment. Climate change + city heat = extra stress for students. 🧵/4

Keeping schools cool is getting harder as our climate warms -- especially at the start and end of the school year. Over the last decade, back-to-school cooling demand has increased by 34% due to climate change. In Portland, that demand has jumped 85% since 1970. đź§µ/2

📍 Back to school in Portland. Students are lugging books & bags in 10–15°F hotter-than-normal late-August heat. This unusual back-to-school warmth is now at least 2x MORE likely because of human-caused climate change. Some details on what it means for our local schools🧵
