As eastern Australia prepares to swelter,
all they can think about is
"how to protect your pets in a heatwave.
You could provide fans, access to a wading pools outside and frozen treats –
strategies that can keep pets cool.”
Not an article/ thought about
the outdoor workers
The biodiversity cooking away in a fragmented habitat
The cows and horses getting barbequed in tree and waterless paddocks
Provide clean birdbaths everywhere, not just dog bowls

Heat indices could hit 120 as sweltering temperatures grip eastern half of US
More than 200 million people brace for sweltering conditions across the country.
By Kenton Gewecke, Kyle Reiman, and Bill Hutchinson
July 28, 2025, 2:29 PM
"Extreme heat warnings and watches are in effect from the Midwest to the Southeast with heat index temperatures expected between 108 and 116.
"More than 200 million people across from #SouthDakota to #Florida and up the #EastCoast to #Boston are on alert for widespread, dangerous heat on Monday and into the new work week, and parts of the Southeast could experience the brunt of the sweltering conditions.
"On average, nearly 2,000 Americans die from extreme heat each year, according to CDC data going back to 2020.
"The highest temperatures on Monday will be focused in the southeast, from the Carolinas to Florida, where extreme heat indices -- that is, what the temperatures feel like when humidity is factored in -- are forecast to be between 105 and 115 degrees.
"Parts of Mississippi and Louisiana are on alert for heat indices up to 120 degrees.
"#ExtremeHeat is also expected to continue on Monday and Tuesday in the Midwest, where over the weekend temperatures felt between 97 to 111 degrees from Lincoln, Nebraska, up into Minneapolis.
"Extreme heat warnings have been issued for large cities from Iowa to Florida, including New Orleans, Memphis, St. Louis, Omaha, Des Moines, Savannah, Raleigh, Charleston and Sioux Falls. These areas could see feels-like temperatures between 110 to 115 degrees.
"The Northeast coast from Philadelphia to Boston, including New York City, is in store for multiple days of dangerous heat. Heat indices in the Northeast are forecast to make it feel like the mid-90s to 104 on Monday.
"In addition to the sweltering conditions, smoke from Canadian wildfires is expected to continue to create hazy conditions in New York City, New Jersey and Connecticut. Over the weekend, smoke from those wildfires prompted an air-quality alert. Another plume of smoke could reach the I-95 corridor on Tuesday afternoon.
"Looking ahead to the work week, potentially life-threatening heat and humidity are expected to continue across the eastern half of the country through Wednesday. Major cities including St. Louis, Memphis, Charlotte, Savannah, Tampa and Jackson, Mississippi, are all likely all see actual temperatures in the upper 90s to low 100s.
"A prolonged heat wave is forecast for those regions as an abundance of tropical moisture settling in is expected to drive the feels-like temperatures up to between 105 to 115 degrees over multiple consecutive days.
Dangerous heat and humidity through Thursday.
"Nighttime and early mornings are not expected to provide relief from the sweltering conditions. Overnight and early morning lows are expected to fall only to the 70s or higher.
"Between Monday and Wednesday, large portions of the Southeast are expected to be under an extreme heat risk at a four-out-of-four level, including the cities of Atlanta, Charlotte, and Jacksonville and Tallahassee, Florida.
"On Sunday, #TampaFL, broke an all-time heat record -- reaching 100 degrees for the first time in 130 years of record-keeping.
"Besides the extreme heat, parts of the Midwest, including South Dakota and western Minnesota, are expecting potentially destructive winds of more than 75 mph on Monday evening. A few severe storms are also expected to roll through North Dakota on Monday evening and spread into Minnesota and Iowa on Monday night."

[Short film] Tides of Tradition
"Communities like the #Unangax̂ rely on traditional #foodways instead of customary, expensive grocery suppliers. This film by Kanesia McGlashan-Price of #Unalaska, #Alaska, follows the journey of a local subsistence hunter and shares the realities of food access in the changing Arctic and the values that inform their harvest."
