Across the United States this week, climate change is showing up most clearly in the weather Americans are feeling right now. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports that the country just experienced its third warmest fall on record, with especially high temperatures in the Plains and the West. Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah, and Washington all posted their warmest fall ever, and November was the warmest on record in several of those states, a signal of a steadily warming baseline rather than a one time anomaly, according to coverage by ABC News drawing on federal data.At the same time, rainfall patterns are growing more extreme. The Southeast had its driest fall since nineteen seventy eight, with Georgia receiving less than half its usual autumn rain, and South Carolina logging its driest November since nineteen thirty one. Florida just had its third driest November on record. Yet in sharp contrast, parts of the Southwest saw their wettest fall ever, including Phoenix and several counties in southeastern Arizona, as reported by ABC News, underscoring how climate change is amplifying both drought and downpours.These trends are contributing to widespread drought. The latest United States Drought Monitor update cited by ABC News shows more than forty percent of the contiguous United States in some level of drought, with conditions intensifying across the Southeast, the southern Plains, and the upper Mississippi Valley, even as parts of the West have recently improved. Scientists say this patchwork of extreme dryness and sudden heavy rain is consistent with a warming atmosphere that can hold and then dump more moisture.Globally, the European Union Copernicus climate service, summarized by multiple outlets including the independent site Climate and Economy, finds that November was the third warmest on record worldwide and that twenty twenty five is on track to be the second or third warmest year ever measured. Researchers cited there note that record breaking heat is touching virtually every region, with new monthly temperature records falling in well over one hundred countries already this month.One emerging pattern in the United States is that both heat and cold extremes are becoming more volatile on top of a warming trend. Recent reporting compiled by Climate and Economy highlights early season Arctic cold snaps and heavy snow in parts of the Midwest and Northeast, even as the long term data show New England and the Alaskan Arctic warming faster than almost anywhere else on Earth. Scientists explain that this combination of record warmth, intensified drought and rainfall, and destabilized winter weather reflects a climate system being pushed into a new and more unpredictable state by human caused greenhouse gas emissions.Some great Deals https://amzn.to/49SJ3QsFor more check out http://www.quietplease.aiThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI
