East Africa: East Africa Faces Intensifying Drought As La Niña Deepens Regional Weather Extremes: [ENA] Addis Ababa -- New climate assessments warn that severe drought conditions are tightening their grip on East Africa, driven by the ongoing La Niña phenomenon, even as southern parts of the continent brace for worsening floods. http://newsfeed.facilit8.network/TPlwZz #EastAfrica #Drought #ClimateChange #LaNina #WeatherExtremes

"A national gathering for Australians frustrated by a lack of government urgency to address the climate crisis."
//
Australia’s ‘protestival’: kayaks, music, a push for climate change action..
Fossil fuel protesters are making their annual pilgrimage to the NSW city of Newcastle to draw attention to climate policy failure. Police will be there too, with a ‘zero tolerance approach’.
//
Hundreds of people set up camp at Foreshore Park on Friday in preparation for the Rising Tide people’s blockade on Newcastle Harbour. The crowd was expected to swell to 7,000 over the weekend as protesters arrived from across the country for what organisers said had become a national gathering for Australians frustrated by a lack of government urgency to address the climate crisis.
🎓 Congratulations, Quan Liu, for successfully defending his #PhD!
His thesis is entitled: "Response of the Summer North Atlantic Oscillation to Global Warming". 🌡️⛅️ The NAO can cause contrasting #WeatherExtremes between Northwestern Europe & the Mediterranean. Quan showed that under warming not only will the mean state of the NAO change, but also its variability, due to changing eddies in the upper #atmosphere. Exciting & important work! 👏
Good luck for your next steps post-PhD, Quan!

Damn! If I were into traveling (and had the money to travel), I'd be all over that weather! I'm so #SickOfTheHeat!
Yes, bring that hoodie, because this could be the coldest SF summer of your life
The city hasn't seen early-summer temperatures this low in three decades.

#idw More #WeatherExtremes in #Europe during the summer under #ClimateChange
Due to #GlobalWarming, the North Atlantic Oscillation #NAO, an atmospheric circulation pattern that strongly influences European weather, is becoming more extreme in the summer, according to a new study. The researchers warned of more frequent and intense weather extremes in Europe. https://idw-online.de/en/news854115

Situation in Northern #Greenland is very like February 2018 right now. Looks like we'll see a reopening of the North Greenland polynya again.

A climate-related mass #dieoff leaves over 100 tons of dead #fish collecting at a Greek port
By VAGGELIS KOUSIORAS and DEREK GATOPOULOS
Updated 1:37 AM EDT, August 30, 2024
VOLOS, #Greece (AP) — "More than 100 tons of dead fish were collected in and around the port of #Volos in central Greece after a mass die-off linked to extreme weather fluctuations, authorities said Thursday.
"The dead #FreshwaterFish filled the bay 320 kilometers (200 miles) north of #Athens, and nearby rivers. Water levels were swollen by #floods in 2023, followed by months of #SevereDrought.
"The die-off has hit local businesses along the seafront, reducing commercial activity by 80% in the past three days, according to Volos’ Chamber of Commerce.
"Fishing trawlers have been chartered by the regional authorities, along with earthmovers, to scoop the dead fish out of the sea and load them onto trucks bound for an incinerator.
"The fish came from #LakeKarla in central Greece, a body of water drained in the early 1960s and restored in 2018 to combat the effects of drought.
“'There are millions of dead fish all the way from Lake Karla and 20 kilometers (12 miles) eastward,' Anna Maria Papadimitriou, the deputy regional governor of the central #Thessaly area, told state-run television.
"'Right now, there is a huge effort underway to clean up the millions of dead fish that have washed along the shorelines and riverbanks … an effort that involves multiple contractors,' she said.
"Water levels rose abruptly in fall 2023 during a #DeadlyStorm that caused extensive flooding in central Greece, but have since receded due to low rainfall and successive summer #heatwaves ."

This week on #ClimateChange #WeatherWheel (#Maine version). Following the recent #IceStorm a few weeks ago, Maine got caught up on the winter snow ALL AT ONCE, followed by a habitable day with a brief moment of eclipsed sunlight. Today (4/9), there was a hint of #BlisteringSunshine, but tomorrow, #DrenchingRains will be back...

British Columbia has been a "hydroelectricity powerhouse".
But, BC was a major electricity importer in 2023 -- relying on 3rd-party resources for 1/5 of its power.
Why? #Drought, increasingly less #snowpack in Winter + less rain throughout rest of year
Electricity system reliability is an issue during #WeatherExtremes, including #BCheatwaves in Summer

Electricity system reliability is already an issue during #WeatherExtremes.
Alberta's "electricity systems faced pressure before Federal green rules". The province already began work on a potential redesign of its regulated *private* market system when cold snap hit.
