Safely Recreating in Hot Weather

When it comes to staying safe while enjoying outdoor activities in hot weather, it’s crucial to take certain precautions to avoid heat-related illnesses. Here are some tips for safely recreating in hot weather:

  1. Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water before, during, and after your outdoor activities. It’s essential to stay hydrated in hot weather to prevent dehydration.
  2. Dress Appropriately: Wear lightweight, light-colored, and loose-fitting clothing to help your body stay cool. Wearing a hat and sunglasses can also provide protection from the sun.
  3. Choose the Right Time: Schedule your outdoor activities during the cooler parts of the day, such as early morning or evening, to avoid the peak heat hours.
  4. Take Breaks in the Shade: If possible, take frequent breaks in shaded or air-conditioned areas to give your body a chance to cool down.
  5. Use Sunscreen: Apply sunscreen with a high SPF to protect your skin from sunburn.
  6. Know the Signs of Heat-Related Illnesses: Educate yourself on the symptoms of heat exhaustion and heatstroke, and be prepared to take action if you or someone else exhibits these symptoms.

June 2023, Hurricanes hate winds

The Pacific warms to surface.

THe above forecast from June 2023 calls for a El Nino event which would damped Hurricanes in the atlantic. Now a La nina is more than likely to bring more hurricanes to the east Coast and Atlantic, but a possibility of cooler ocean water may bring wetter weather to The Pacific Northwest of the continnant after storms and cyclones have made the eastern pacific cooler with displaced water.

When responding to a La Niña event developing and bringing weather to the Pacific Northwest of North America, it’s important to consider the potential impacts and take appropriate measures. Here are some steps to consider:

  1. Stay Informed: Keep a close eye on weather forecasts and updates provided by reliable sources to stay informed about the evolving situation.
  2. Emergency Preparedness: Be prepared for potential extreme weather events such as heavy rainfall, flooding, and strong winds. Ensure that emergency kits are stocked with essentials, and have a plan in place for evacuation if necessary.
  3. Agricultural Precautions: Farmers and agricultural communities should take necessary precautions to protect crops and livestock from the effects of La Niña-related weather patterns, such as excessive rainfall or drought conditions.
  4. Infrastructure and Safety Measures: Local authorities and infrastructure managers should assess and reinforce structures to mitigate potential impacts, such as flooding and landslides.
  5. Community Awareness: Raise awareness within the community about the potential impacts of La Niña and promote safety measures and preparedness.

By staying informed and taking proactive measures, the community can better prepare for and mitigate the impacts of the La Niña event in the Pacific Northwest of North America.

British Columbia Canada

Yes, we have wheather.
Three to 5 degrees colder then historical into May

The wheather man is calling for snow on the mountains in British Columbia in response to a developing Low.

Snow packs in British Columbia can be found in various mountainous regions throughout the province. Popular locations for traditional snow packs include the Coastal and Rocky Mountains, where the accumulation of snow during the winter contributes to the region’s water resources and natural beauty. Ski resorts such as Whistler Blackcomb also benefit from these traditional snow packs, attracting winter sports enthusiasts from around the world.

So another day another La Nina claim…

This is data on flooding in Australia and drought in east Africa. The contention is that the La Nina from the eastern Pacific is dealing with cooler water from somewhere, it appears to us as to be about right they still border on extremes amd wet weather is better then fires, so the summer as starts to draw to a close down under and it seems they escaped the bullet. Good for them.

El Nino

Filed under: Climate by Kevin Griffiths — Leave a comment
January 30, 2024

Some forecasters are anticipating a change from El Nino to La Nina meaning quieter water in the Pacific in the Southern hemisphere and above. This may drastically change our weather if the current El nino collapses suddenly for this summer.

Currents,winds, colder water at depth and many other Dynamics make for weather from climate.

Quieter surface water in the tropical make for heating that will eventually turn to storms which will make way for colder water from below.

Boiling oceans

A Spector that the UN raised when water off the Florida coast was documented at 100° f, the boiling point of water is 212°f. So this concern was probably justified as analogy but a stretch and overly exaggerated,or underappreciated as to the scale of such a condition might be. Water does boil at 100 degrees Celsius, this may occur in volcanic conditions but how much is not a lot in the scope of all the inputs to weather. Warning ⚠️ remains potent as we take on views that safety and environment is not a given. So,get above just copying and live as every moment and interaction is blessed.

Forcastimg

Ontario recent forecast is typical of the work of weather in flows. An artic outflow in January brought cold to BC as it flowed across it to the Pacific and created weather out of the currents and flows it abated.

Eco systems by patterns

We live in ecosystems created by weather patterns and the adaptation of flora and fauna in the natural world. Many inputs from humankind can and will influence climate and weather. Although ultimately we remain in a precarious dependency on forces that we control less than we believe we do we are to be thankful that climate produces weather and we adapt to it to prosper in a natural way. So that hope remains.

Catastrophic inputs always a reality.

What else can be said don’t take it personal when these events surprise. You are only a person, subject to random, for good and not so much.

Count your lucky stars…

we are better off the many.

Luck can be understood as a combination of chance, circumstances, and opportunity. When it comes to individuals, luck can play a significant role in their lives. Some may seem to have more “luck” than others, whether it’s in terms of career success, relationships, or personal achievements. However, it’s important to remember that luck is not entirely random. A person’s mindset, preparedness, and actions can influence the outcomes they experience. Moreover, one individual’s perception of luck may differ from another’s, as it is subjective and can be shaped by cultural, social, and personal factors. Ai

Make your own luck. KDG

How the climate made History part two.

Over time weather made man, man has only made weather in the recent years of industrailization.

Climate makes weather

From the formation of small tribes to the rise of vast empires, the evolution of human societies has been a remarkable journey marked by cultural, technological, and political advancements. Small tribes, often formed around kinship ties and shared cultural practices, gradually transitioned into complex civilizations with large territorial holdings and sophisticated governmental structures. This progression was driven by various factors such as agriculture, trade, conquest, and religious or ideological movements. The transformation of small, localized communities into vast empires not only reshaped political landscapes but also fostered the exchange of ideas, goods, and innovations on a global scale, contributing to the rich tapestry of human history.

No weather no life

An empire is a strong entity, Kings of Kings made organising a feat of neccesity when good weather made healthy factions it also made rivals out of competitors coming out of tribal instincts war was a real factor in possessing the best weather related lands. So, climate made for weather that in cycles made Empires.

Kadesh treaty

The very first peace treaty is in the United Nations entrance in New York city. Between the Hittites and another tribe ( Egypt) of the fertile crescent reach area the peoples enjoyed the bounty of the area as the world slowly broke free of the the Ice age and crops made for prosperous food supplies. This changed the dynamics of tribal conflict and aggrement over sharing by treaty was attractive. Losses in war and conflict over hunting areas were mitigated thanks to good weather from the changing climate.
