As temperatures soar, naming the threat may save lives

Giving heat waves names and strength ratings, as for hurricanes, could drive home the spiking danger from a threat that kills more people in the United States each year than storms and floods but rarely hits headlines, heat experts say. “People do not understand this risk and we need to change that,” said Kathy Baughman

A warm summer, but not record breaking

Was this summer the warmest in recent memory? Well, that depends how you define ‘summer’

By Daniel Bezte September 6, 2018

Well, summer is now officially over, so it is time to look back at the weather numbers and see just how warm and dry this summer has been.

A record-breaking heat wave
