As some of you know, today is National Hummingbird Day, conveniently scheduled for my birthday this year. So here is another hummingbird, a male Green-crowned Brilliant, from the hummingbird hotspot of the western Andes of Ecuador.

Yes! This is very relevant for the #BuenVivir movement in #Ecuador as well, and a massive victory. There is hope yet for the #Andes.

" #Winter #heatwave in #Andes is sign of things to come, scientists warn - Human-caused climate disruption and El Niño push temperature in mountains to 37C.

Exceptional winter heat in the Andean mountains of South America has surged to 37C, prompting local scientists to warn the worst may be yet to come as human-caused climate disruption and El Niño cause havoc across the region.

The heatwave in the central Chilean Andes is melting the snow below 3,000 metres (9,840ft), which will have knock-on effects for people living in downstream valleys who depend on meltwater during the spring and summer.

Tuesday was probably the warmest winter day in northern Chile in 72 years, according to Raul Cordero, a climate scientist at the University of Groningen, who said the 37C recorded at the Vicuña Los Pimientos station in the Coquimbo region was caused by a combination of global heating, El Niño and easterly gusts, known by locals as Terral winds that bring hot, dry weather.

Dozens of meteorological monitoring stations at more than 1,000 metres altitude recorded temperatures above 35C in winter, according to the Extreme Temperatures Around The World blog."

Parts of #SouthAmerica are sweltering under a 'fierce' #heatwave and it’s the middle of winter

The "unbelievable" mid-winter heat is "rewriting all climatic books," according to one expert, as the highest ever temperatures for this time of year have been recorded for many locations, with readings topping 100 F.

"Parts of South America are sweltering under abnormally hot temperatures – despite being in the depths of winter – as the combination of human-caused #ClimateChange and the arrival of #ElNiño feed into extreme winter heat.

"Southern Cone countries including Chile and #Argentina have experienced summer-like conditions as a heat wave, beginning in July, pushed temperatures higher than 38 degrees Celsius (100 Fahrenheit) in some places – dramatically above average for this time of year.

"Maximiliano Herrera, a climatologist who tracks extreme temperatures across the globe, told CNN that South America is experiencing a 'fierce winter heat wave.'

While such heat waves are not unheard of for the continent, this one has 'exceptional characteristics for its area, duration, intensity and being early August,' Herrara said, adding 'dozens of stations are recording their highest ever temperatures in the first half of August.'

"August in the Southern Hemisphere is equivalent to February in the Northern Hemisphere.

"Chile’s environment minister, Maisa Rojas, said that the world has been experiencing extreme events for weeks. 'Yesterday it was the turn of South America and #Chile,' she said in a Twitter post Wednesday.

"In the mountainous Chilean #Andes region, temperatures climbed to 38.9 degrees Celsius (102 Fahrenheit) on Tuesday, according to Herrara, who described the event as 'unbelievable' for mid-winter and 'rewriting all climatic books.'"

Reminder - it is #Winter in the #SouthernHemisphere - "‘Winter is disappearing’: #SouthAmerica hit by ‘brutal’ unseasonal #heatwave

Buenos Aires records hottest start to August in 117 years, #Chile sees highs towards 40F and #Bolivia, #Paraguay and #Brazil also bake

Now should be South America’s bleak midwinter, but several parts of the continent are experiencing an extraordinary unseasonal heatwave that scientists believe offers a disturbing glimpse of a future of extreme weather.

Argentina’s riverside capital, Buenos Aires, this week recorded its hottest 1 August in 117 years.

Cindy Fernández, a weather bureau spokesperson, said her country was facing “a year of extreme heat".

“Winter temperatures are way off the scale – not only in the central region where Buenos Aires is but also in the northern regions bordering Bolivia and Paraguay where temperatures reached between 37C (98.6F) and 39C (102.2F) this week. Hundreds of miles to the west, in #Chile, temperatures rose even higher, towards 40C.

“July was the planet’s hottest month since records began and the #Andes are now experiencing their own thermal ordeal,” announced the Santiago-based newspaper La Tercera. “Although we’re in winter, Chile is living through a little hell of its very own.”
...
"Five years ago, winter in Paraguay made for chilly days, Mendoza pointed out. “But now it’s 30C-35C [86F-95F] in the winter due to climate change.”

In the Catholic University’s shade-filled campus off the #Paraguay River, Oscar López Grutter, the school’s administrative director, agreed that recent winters in Paraguay have changed as the world has grown hotter. “This winter is less cold and much shorter,” he said. “There’s less nature – there’s climate disorder, more cars, more industry, more pollution. Deforestation, less trees and, unfortunately, less periodic rains.”

La celebración de la #Pachamama es una festividad ancestral que se celebra en varios países de #AméricaLatina, especialmente en los #Andes, y tiene lugar principalmente el 1 de agosto, aunque en algunos lugares también se celebra durante todo el mes.

El término "Pachamama" proviene de la lengua quechua y significa "Madre Tierra". La celebración de la Pachamama es una forma de honrar y agradecer a la tierra por sus bondades y cuidados.

Durante la celebración, se realizan diferentes rituales y ofrendas a la Pachamama. Estas ofrendas pueden incluir alimentos, como maíz, quinoa, papas, coca, entre otros, así como también licores, hojas de coca, objetos personales y otros elementos simbólicos. Estas ofrendas se colocan en un agujero en la tierra, llamado "qocha", y se quema incienso para purificar el ambiente.

El sentido de la celebración de la Pachamama es expresar gratitud y respeto hacia la naturaleza, reconociéndola como fuente de vida y proveedora de recursos. Además, se busca fortalecer la conexión entre el ser humano y la tierra, promoviendo la armonía con el entorno y el equilibrio con el medio ambiente.

La Pachamama es considerada una deidad femenina, protectora y generadora de la vida, por lo que su celebración también implica pedir su protección y bendiciones para el futuro, así como también cultivar la conciencia de respeto y cuidado hacia el medio ambiente.

Il suffit en effet de jeter un œil à la carte ci-dessous (CC BY-SA Eric Gaba, modifiée) pour voir des discontinuités dans le volcanisme de la chaîne andine, découpée en plusieurs segments.
