The #human impacts on #work, #tourism and #health were clear to see. But behind closed doors, animals kept as livestock also suffered from severe #heatstress.

As we have more heat waves we also suffer from more heat stress.

Heat stress is more than temperature and is a metric that describes how the environment impacts people (temperature, humidity, wind, soil etc.)

Last summer Europeans saw more heat stress than ever before.

How are you helping patients and workers navigate dangerously high heat this Summer?

According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, exposure to extreme temperatures places workers at risk of #heatstress that can lead to heat rashes, heat cramps, and even heat stroke. Heat stroke is by far the most concerning as death or permanent disability can be the outcome. #OccEnvMed

New paper about heat stress and wasting disease on sea cucumbers by colleagues. Really good read, even if it's not your domain. Extra points for testing drooping!

Gene expression plasticity and frontloading promote thermotolerance in Pocillopora corals https://dx.doi.org/10.24072/pcjournal.79 #IMBEpapers #GeneExpressionPlasticity #Frontloading #CoralHolobiont #Pocillopora #HeatStress

Three different moist #heatstress indices (apparent temperature, wet bulb temperature, and wet bulb globe temperature) were computed to assess the uncertainties of heat stress response to changes in air temperature, relative humidity, and wind conditions.

In our recent study in #Urban #Climate, we separate the impacts of #urbanization and lake breeze on moist #heatstress over #Chicago metropolitan area using #WRF model simulations.

New year, new #conference.

I have a couple of talks at #AMS2023 in Denver next week.

On Jan 10th, a talk titled "#Urban Outdoor #HeatStress Is Decoupled from #Satellite-Derived #Surface #Temperature across Scales" based on recent published work: https://ams.confex.com/ams/103ANNUAL/meetingapp.cgi/Paper/412571

Then on Jan 11th, a presentation on some ongoing work titled "Examining #future summertime exposure to extreme #heat over the #GreatLakesRegion": https://ams.confex.com/ams/103ANNUAL/meetingapp.cgi/Paper/412547

Hot! It can’t be this hot on New Years Day. Many plants have been made sun smart right now. UV index 7 is the fifth highest reading on the UV index scale. When the UV index is 7 there is a high risk of harm from unprotected Sun exposure.

On Wednesday afternoon, I also have a poster on "Impacts of Urbanization and Lake Michigan on Chicago’s Heat Stress and its Disparities" in the "Extreme Weather and Climate in Urban Areas, Their Social Impacts, and Mitigation" session: https://agu.confex.com/agu/fm22/meetingapp.cgi/Session/156695

This works is directly related to my current project at #PNNL and examines the impact of urbanization & #LakeMichigan on #heatstress, its #extremes, and #disparities over #Chicago.

This is a frankensteinian mishmash of results from older, recent, and upcoming papers, which I have somehow managed to cobble together.

Covers lessons learned about urban heat across scales and differences when using #heatstress metrics.

The World Cup is warming up.

"If the 2022 World Cup had taken place in June and July as is typical, players, spectators and workers would have experienced 50–70% more hours with Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) above 86°F, and 15–23% more hours with WBGT exceeding 89.6°F than during November and December. "

Interesting new #study showing an increase in nighttime #urban #heat island (UHI) intensity in 28 of 32 #cities in #Europe during historical #heatwaves using #weather station data: https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/aca3ba

No substantial variations were found during daytime.

We found similar results in a modeling study last year over the #US: https://doi.org/10.1029/2021GL095678

This study also examined #urban #heatstress islands (UHSI). With background #warming, nighttime UHSI intensified while daytime UHSI decreased.
