Currently en Puerto Rico — 15 de septiembre, 2023: Calor sin precedentes para esta fecha

Temperaturas acercarán récords diarios hasta el fin de semana

Las temperaturas récord del miércoles y jueves en Puerto Rico se prolongarán hasta el fin de semana, impulsadas por cielos mayormente soleados y alta humedad, lo que resultará en Avisos de Calor Excesivo el viernes y durante el fin de semana. San Juan empató sus récords de temperatura diaria del 13 y 14 de septiembre con máximas de 94 y 95 grados, respectivamente. El viernes será igualmente caluroso a medida que continúen los vientos del sur, con temperaturas que se acercarán nuevamente a niveles récord e índices de calor superiores a 112 grados y hasta 118 a lo largo de las costas norte y este, dado que los aguaceros permanecerán aislados. Lo mismo ocurrirá durante el fin de semana, pero la nueva semana marcará el inicio de una transición hacia tiempo más lluvioso a medida que una fuerte onda tropical se acerque a la isla.

What you need to know, currently.

Today is the global climate strike — calling for an end to the era of fossil fuels.

The latest climate disasters and temperature data show that 2023 is likely to be the hottest year in the history of human civilization, and one of the most destructive and heart-wrenching. This is also likely to be the first year that global warming has surpassed the critical 1.5°C mark agreed to less than 10 years ago by the world in Paris.

We are in a climate emergency. And everyone has a place in the movement to bring about lasting change that will create a better future.

Today, hundreds of thousands of people from around the world are rallying to give their adult allies confidence to do everything we can to make this transition happen as quickly and as equitably as possible.

Here are some pictures of the day so far:
