Dam bursts open as deadly #flooding washes away homes in #Norway

Entire towns have been evacuated in Norway after unrelenting rain sparked widespread flooding, and the country's prime minister warned residents that the flooding is "by no means over."

"Torrents of water gushed through multiple towns across Norway and #landslides cascaded down mountainsides after a deluge drenched Norway earlier in the week. Residents have been forced to evacuate, and the situation could get worse before it gets better.

"Significant flooding was reported in the Norwegian towns of #Nes, #Bagn and #Valer, all located north of the capital city of #Oslo.

"A wet July was the precursor to the flooding, with monthly rainfall more than 300% of the historical average in and around Oslo. The wet pattern persisted through the first part of August with rain falling every day through the first 10 days of the month."

#ClimateChange: 2022 was #Scotland's hottest year

January 5, 2023

"Scotland saw #WeatherExtremes in 2022.

"A series of water scarcity warnings were issued by the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (Sepa) during the summer months.

"The situation in the east of the country gave concern, with water abstraction suspended on the River Tyne in East Lothian, River Ythan in Aberdeenshire and the Lower Tweed in the Borders.

"Scotland was also on course for its #coldest December in over a decade after the UK's lowest maximum temperature for 12 years was recorded in Aberdeenshire on the 12th.

"The Met Office confirmed the highest temperature recorded in Braemar was -9.3C after overnight temperatures plummeted to -15.7C.

"And at the end of the year, the south of Scotland fell under an amber warning for #HeavyRainfall which saw severe #flooding in Dumfries and Galloway and major travel disruption."

Farm animals, crops suffer from extreme #weather affecting #China

By Laura He, CNN, Jun 2, 2023

"With parts of China experiencing record high temperatures and heavy rains, reports of farm animals and crops suffering from extreme weather patterns are dominating headlines in the country, raising concerns about food security in the world’s second largest economy.

China experienced its worst heat wave and drought in decades during the summer of 2022, which caused widespread power shortages and disrupted food and industrial supply chains. This year, extreme heat has ravaged many parts of the country even earlier than last year."

Many years ago, I had a vision of a future environment where plants would freeze, then rot in extreme heat. Yesterday, here in #Maine, it was in the mid-80's... Tomorrow morning there may be frost. Ugh! And Thursday is supposed to be back up to the mid-80s. #ClimateCrisis #ClimateChange #WeatherExtremes

Five days ago I posted about it being minus 24 F. Today it’s 64 F. Almost a 90 degree spread in a handful of days. #COWX #Weatherextremes

Just finished my presentation on damages of #weatherextremes at the #IMSI meeting on Economic Impacts of #climatechange Got some good questions. Looking forward to more interesting talks and discussions tomorrow.

#ClimateChange and #WeatherExtremes in the Eastern Mediterranean and Middle East

Observation-based and modeling studies have identified the Eastern #Mediterranean and #MiddleEast (EMME) region as a prominent climate change hotspot.
Climate projections indicate a future warming, strongest in summers. Precipitation will likely decrease, particularly in the Mediterranean. Virtually all socio-economic sectors will be critically affected.
