But recent temperature spikes in mountainous areas show there may be no escape. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/08/24/climate-change/heat-waves-cooler-vacation-destinations/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #heat #heatwaves #nagano #tochigi #hakuba #climatechange #tourism

Hello World!
It's Finland calling!
Here, up in the North, you know, #Lapland, #ArcticCircle, reindeers, Santa Claus etc.
For the 3rd week, this is how the #weather is like in here. The #heat limit here is 25 °C.
Today yet another record was broken - it has been 19 days that the #temperature has been above 30 °C somewhere in #Finland. And tomorrow it'll be 20 since this map is for tomorrow afternoon.
You think #ClimateChange isn't real?
Well, think again.

Japanese professional baseball teams are working on ways to protect their players and fans from the country's sweltering summer heat. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2025/07/23/baseball/japanese-baseball/npb-baseball-summer-heat/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #baseball #japanesebaseball #heat #heatstroke #npb
Been feeling sad for the past 3 days. Don't know why. There is no changing my mood, and this sucks. Nothing particular going on.
I have too low energy to do anything in this heat. Very uninspiring. Not interested in going out, running, or anything else for that matter.
I think I'm just going to lounge today.

It's 91 F degrees in Gaza with 60% humidity. Tents in the sun turn into boilers & ovens.
The IDF is telling heat-stroked & starved Gazans: we'll murder you immediately if you dip yourself in the water to cool off or try to catch fish. Touching the sea is fully forbidden.

What’s the first word that comes to mind when you think of a Japanese summer? A new poll reveals whether those in their 20s and those older than 40 think of the same thing. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/07/05/language/japanese-summer-words-fireworks/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #language #nihongo #vocabulary #heat #summer #heatstroke #jlptn3

I'm struggling with the heat.
Southern Europeans braced for their first heat wave of summer, as climate change pushes thermometers on the world's fastest-warming continent increasingly into the red. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2025/06/29/climate-change/europe-2025-summer-heat/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #heat #climatechange #environment #europe

Incredible tool!
“Developed by University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), the tool helps fill in gaps as the Trump administration takes a sledgehammer to federal climate, race, and ethnicity data resources.
“We want to provide facts, reliable data sources. We don’t want this to be something that gets erased from the policy sphere,” says Arturo Vargas Bustamante, faculty research director at the UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Institute (LPPI).
“We don’t want this to be something that gets erased”
The Latino Climate & Health Dashboard includes data on extreme heat and air pollution, as well as asthma rates and other health conditions — issues that are linked to each other. High temperatures can speed up the chemical reactions that create smog. Chronic exposure to fine particle pollution, or soot, can increase the risk of a child developing asthma.“
