Excessive heat warnings, red flag warnings for wildfire conditions, and monthly temperature records being shattered yet again.

This historic heatwave continues, with temperatures made at least 5× more likely by human-caused climate change today.

As I keep saying, this is easily one of the most anomalous out-of-season heatwaves that I’ve observed. It’s also remarkably large in the extent of area impacted by the record heat.

Its impacts will be far-reaching after an already historic snow drought this winter. Without a pattern change, water concerns will then amplify this summer.

@ZLabe 61F just before dawn. 17% humidity. Fire risk was mentioned on the news this am. 🤔
