India continues to bake. Hearing reports of unusually high humidity in areas that’s not common. High temperature combined with high humidity is deadly. 6 hour survival period at certain levels. The night temps are staying above 30C also in many parts - millions sleeping outside.

Yesterday was the first day CO₂ at Mauna Loa was 425 ppm. This is:
-likely the first time in the past 800,000 years.
-possibly not seen in over 3 million years (mid-pliocene warm period).
-A CO₂ forcing equal to 2.5-4°C of warming and 5-25 meters higher global sea level.

FACT: #COVID19 is NOT airborne.
The #coronavirus is mainly transmitted through droplets generated when an infected person coughs, sneezes or speaks.
To protect yourself:
-keep 1m distance from others
-disinfect surfaces frequently
-wash/rub your 👐
-avoid touching your 👀👃👄

Stay Back, Stay High & Stay Dry!
We strongly advise the public to stay away from exposed beaches, cliffs, harbours and promenades along the coast during storm conditions.
If you see someone in difficulty in the sea or on the shore dial 112 and ask for Coast Guard #Lorenzo

The center line is meaningless
Since there is an equal probability the storm could be at any point within the cone
In fact, cones predict storm paths only 60-70% of the time
One out of 3 times we experience it, the storm center will be outside the cone nytimes.com/interactive/2019…
