Is this a global heatwave now?

[–] iocase@lemmy.zip 16 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Super El Nino not just a heat wave. The last time something of this magnitude hit the world there was a record famine and mass death in India, and the monsoons were mostly or completely dry (depending on where) for 3 years afterwards. That's why people are joking about it being the last cool summer for 5-6 years... It's just going to be hotter and drier...

Other areas are going to get hammered with rain. I live in Canada and the prairies of Alberta and foothills east of the Canadian Rockies got hammered with record rain that's drowning crops. They got an entire year's rainfall in 1 month.

The Shadow stirs. The Dark One's touch is on the world. The Pattern begins to unravel.

I'm in California. Normal el niños give us moderate flooding. I'm tempted to stock up on sand and sandbags this summer, before the rush

[–] iocase@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Probably a good idea... The irony is the Colorado River is so low a lot of southern Cali and Nevada might run out of water.

Funnily enough, Arizona has been taking this way more seriously than California. Probably because California has multiple water sources.

Yeah California's entire existence isn't spitting in the face of God 40 million times every day

yeah, that pisses me off, too. I worship the god of blasphemy (among other things) and how can i beat the existence of Phoenix?

The rain isn't over yet either, more rain forecasted but not as severe. Except now everything is saturated so it'll probably re-flood everything that is slowly receding.

It has encompassed most of Europe and North America… and a reasonably fitting descriptor to me

[–] Damage@feddit.it 16 points 2 days ago

And India started even earlier

[–] cattywampas@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

Well just the one half anyway.
