#PlanetaryWaves linked to wild summer weather have tripled since 1950, study finds
By SETH BORENSTEIN
Updated 4:51 PM EDT, June 16, 2025
WASHINGTON (AP) — "#ClimateChange has tripled the frequency of atmospheric wave events linked to extreme summer weather in the last 75 years and that may explain why long-range computer forecasts keep underestimating the surge in killer #HeatWaves, #Droughts and #floods, a new study says.
"In the 1950s, Earth averaged about one extreme weather-inducing planetary wave event a summer, but now it is getting about three per summer, according to a study in Monday’s Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Planetary waves are connected to 2021’s deadly and unprecedented Pacific Northwest heat wave, the 2010 Russian heatwave and Pakistan flooding and the 2003 killer European heatwave, the study said.
" 'If you’re trying to visualize the planetary waves in the northern hemisphere, the easiest way to visualize them is on the weather map to look at the waviness in the jet stream as depicted on the weather map,' said study co-author Michael Mann, a University of Pennsylvania climate scientist.
"Planetary waves flow across Earth all the time, but sometimes they get amplified, becoming stronger, and the jet stream gets wavier with bigger hills and valleys, Mann said. It’s called quasi-resonant amplification or QRA."

Rescuers in South Africa search for the missing after floods leave at least 49 dead https://news.mongabay.com/short-article/2025/06/rescuers-in-south-africa-search-for-the-missing-after-floods-leave-at-least-49-dead/
@voicesofwentworth.bsky.social meanwhile the Brisbane Liberal Council continues to approve housing on the flood plain. The apartments are designed so that at current flood levels, only the parking garages are under water. Residents remain trapped with no power. Council policy is to make this more widespread without factoring in more and worse flood events.
