Onda tropical causará lluvias

El lunes, una onda tropical traerá aguaceros y tormentas eléctricas a Puerto Rico desde las primeras horas de la mañana hasta la tarde. La mitad este verá la mayor parte de la lluvia por la mañana, pero se esperan aguaceros generalizados en el oeste durante la tarde. Se tornará más tranquilo durante la noche, pero se producirán más rondas de aguaceros y tronadas el martes. Luego, otra zona de aire seco y polvoriento producirá tiempo más despejado, pero también caluroso y brumoso, para el resto de la semana laboral. La tormenta subtropical Don ha perdido fuerza en el Atlántico norte, y no representa peligro para el Caribe.

What you can do, currently.

The climate emergency doesn’t take the summer off. In fact — as we’ve been reporting — we’re heading into an El Niño that could challenge historical records and is already supercharging weather and climate impacts around the world.

When people understand the weather they are experiencing is caused by climate change it creates a more compelling call to action to do something about it.

If these emails mean something important to you — and more importantly, if the idea of being part of a community that’s building a weather service for the climate emergency means something important to you — please chip in just $5 a month to continue making this service possible.

Thank you!!

What you need to know, currently.

On Sunday, China recorded its hottest temperature in history as Sanbao in Xinjiang Province hit 52.2°C (126°F) — the hottest temperature ever measured on Earth north of 40° latitude (the same latitude as Philadelphia). Also on Sunday, Death Valley, California hit 128°F (53.3°C) — one of the highest reliable temperatures ever recorded in the world. In Europe, a record-breaking heat wave is on tap this week.

New all-time record temperatures of 49°C (120°F) are expected in Italy this week that could challenge the hottest ever recorded in Europe, just days after a new report showed that last year’s then-record-setting European heatwave killed upwards of 60,000 people.

These records make sense in our rapidly warming world. June 2023 was the hottest month in world history, and July should be even hotter.
