AZ has weather balloon launches every day from @NWSTucson and @NWSFlagstaff. During monsoon season, we also get launches at @NWSPhoenix thanks to @SRPconnect. This is a Skew-T, which shows a snapshot of the atmosphere from the latest weather balloon launch. Check them out here! spc.noaa.gov/exper/soundings… #azwx #Monsoon2024

During heat waves, check on your friends, family, and neighbors daily. Extreme heat can be hazardous for everyone, especially for older adults. Find #SummerReady tips for everyone at ready.gov/summer-ready!
A light yellow infographic titled, "Extreme Heat: Older Adults. People 65 years or older are at greater risk from extreme heat health problems." Below are a couple dancing on a patch of sand, framed by the ocean, clouds and three seagulls in the distance. The tips read, "Find somewhere air conditioned. Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated. Wear loose, lightweight, or light-colored clothing. Avoid high-energy activities during the midday heat and stay in the shade."

Right now, Phoenix 2024 temps are #9 of 100°F days to date and tied for #3 with 110°F days to date. This can always change. A wetter monsoon can cool things off; a drier monsoon can make things hotter. We'll have to wait and see. Meantime, stay cool and hydrated, and check on your neighbors, friends, and pets. 🤠 🥤☂️ #azwx

#SummerReady tip: Know the signs of and ways to respond to heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Also, make sure kids know when and how to call important phone numbers like 9-1-1. 🌞 ready.gov/summer-ready
Symptoms of heat exhaustion include dizziness, thirst, heavy sweating, nausea, and weakness. Act fast by moving to a cooler area, loosening clothing, sipping cool water. Seek medical help if symptoms don't improve. Heat exhaustion can lead to heat stroke. Symptoms of heat stroke include confusion, dizziness, and becoming unconscious. Act fast by calling 911, moving the person to a cooler area, loosening clothing and removing extra layers, and cooling with water or ice.

Interested in doing a #PhD on climate change adaptation in deltas? Check out these three PhD positions in the Department of Physical Geography at Utrecht University @UUGeo @UniUtrecht 🌏Global Delta Adaptation Physical Solution Space aims to understand adaptation measures in deltas globally to climate-driven flood risk due to sea-level rise and changes in river flows. 🌊🌧️Rhine-Meuse Delta Adaptation to Extreme Compound Events focuses on understanding adaptation measures and pathways to uncertain compounding climate extremes such as extreme rainfall, river flow, and storm surge. 🌱🏝️Strategies to Enhance Sedimentation for Delta Adaptation is about sedimentation in deltas as adaptation strategy to relative sea-level rise.
