Weather chaos: Heat wave hits USA and Canada as Europe prepares for second heat wave within a month-By-Strange Sounds -Jul 20, 2019
While much of the U.S., like Canada, is caught in the grip of a punishing heat wave….Europe prepares for second heat wave within a month.heat wave usa canada europe july 2019, heat wave usa canada europe july 2019 map, heat wave usa canada europe july 2019-A heat wave already roasting Canada, the United States and parts of Europe is expected to intensify this weekend, prompting weather-related health concerns and cancellations.June has already been marked as the hottest ever recorded globally and many climate analysts have warned that July could be just as hot.Temperatures are skyrocketing from coast to coast in the United States and parts of Canada are facing similar weekend forecasts. Europe, which just escaped a dangerous hot spell, is expected to climb back into scorching temperatures next week.Here’s a look at the weather in store for Europe, Canada and the U.S.:Europe-The record summer weather may be best exemplified in Europe, where June ushered in history-making temperatures.France, which just saw relief from June’s heat, will see temperatures climb this weekend before it settles into another hot spell by Tuesday. The heat is likely to exacerbate drought conditions, Reuters reported, which has impacted nuclear power generation and “roasted” crops for farmers.Water use has also been restricted in about 61 regions.The French national temperature record was set on June 28 at 46 °C, according to Météo France, the French meteorological agency.Another bout of hot weather could blanket France, the U.K., Spain, Portugal, and Germany, among others next week, Météo France said.While the forecasts are not yet considered definitive, a week of 40 °C-plus heat could be on the horizon.-United States-Temperatures have soared across the U.S. in recent days and more heat is on the way.A heat wave has closed in on the Midwest and East Coast over the past few days, including Chicago, St. Louis and Cleveland, and is continuing to cook the East Coast.In Omaha, where temperatures felt like 97 Fahrenheit (36 °C) on Friday, employees of the National Weather Service station there attempted to bake biscuits in a car sitting in a parking lot.Biscuit update: the pan has reached 175 degrees in 60 minuted and the tops of the biscuits are at 153.This is a good time to remind everyone that your car does in fact get deadly hot. Look before you lock! On average 38 children die in hot cars each year. Don't be a statistic! pic.twitter.com/OBKK1q1F8T— NWS Omaha (@NWSOmaha) July 18, 2019-On Friday, Washington, D.C. could top 100 °F (38 °C) and Philadephia 97 °F (36 °C).New York is forecast to reach 91 °F (32 °C), with temperatures feeling like 110 with humidity.Saturday and Sunday will see temperatures hover around the same marks.The sweltering conditions put a lid on the New York City Triathlon, scheduled for Sunday, and a horse race in upstate New York on Saturday.The cancellation followed an excessive heat warning issued by the U.S. National Weather Service across much of the country.“There are 124 million people under a heat advisory or excessive heat warning — that’s a third of the population,” meteorologist David Roth told Reuters.There are also fears about the impact on hydro.Americans who live in an area impacted by the heat are being asked to conserve energy when possible, as too much stress on the system could lead to outages. New York utility company Con Edison told CNN that it is “ready for what the heat will bring” and is “poised to respond” to any outages.In Chicago, public housing officials will conduct well-being checks on residents and ensuring temperatures in non-air conditioned units don’t hit dangerous levels. The regional train service has also been forced to slow down due to the excessive heat.In Detroit, precautions are being taken at Detroit Receiving Hospital as temperatures spike. Intravenous fluids that are normally stored at room temperature are being cooled with fans, the medical director told The Associated Press.The temperature there on Friday hit 92 °F (33 °C) and Saturday 98 °F (37 °C), feeling more like 111 with humidity (44).Canada-Just across the border in Windsor, Ont., things aren’t much better. The southernmost city in Canada will cook this weekend, as well, with temperatures reaching the same on Saturday — 37 °C. The humidity will also make it feel more like 40 or higher, Environment Canada said.A huge swath of southern Ontario is under an extreme heat warning. According to Environment Canada, the temperature in Toronto was forecast to reach 34 °C on Friday and Saturday, feeling warmer with the humidity. Saturday is on track to be the hottest day of the year so far for southern Ontario.The same goes for a large part of Quebec. Montreal could see upwards of 30 °C on Friday.The heat wave is likely to make its way into most of Atlantic Canada this weekend, as well, but rain could reduce the impact.There is some respite in store for Canada, however. As Global News Chief meteorologist Anthony Farnell said previously, rain in the forecast for Sunday in some areas, including Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, and Kingston, could bring down the temperatures.
Searing heat across nation, reaching 100 degrees in some spots, takes its toll on events and roads-[USA TODAY]-Doug Stanglin-July 20, 2019
A relentless heat wave gripped the country from the central states to the East Coast Saturday, prompting cancellation of the New York City Triathlon and producing cracked and buckled roads in some Plains states. Some East Coast cities braced for temperatures in the triple digits.As the stifling heat - expected to affect 200 million people - settled in for at least a fifth day, the National Weather Service issued an Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisory from parts of the Texas Panhandle to the Ohio Valley, around the Great Lakes, parts of the Mid-Atlantic and in the Northeast.An Excessive Heat Warning is issued when the combination of heat and humidity is expected to make it feel like it is 105 degrees or greater.Daytime temperatures in the mid to upper 90s or higher plus high humidity will result in heat indices as high as 115 for some, forecasters said.Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York and Boston were bracing for weekend temperatures in the triple digits. New York City and Baltimore were under a Code Red Extreme Heat Alert that is expected to continue through Sunday. "It’s been since July of 2012 that Chicago and Philadelphia both hit 100 degrees, and Washington, D.C., hasn’t hit 100 since August of 2016," says AccuWeather Meteorologist Danielle Knittle.In addition, forecasters warned that overnight temperatures were not likely to fall far enough to bring relief, pariticularly in larger cities, like Chicago, St. Louis and New York City.Cities in Vermont and New Hampshire opened shelters where people could cool off.The high heat took its toll across the country: In New York City, officials canceled Sunday's New York City Triathlon. Likewise, Mayor Bill De Blasio scrapped the two-day outdoor OZY Fest in Central Park featuring soccer star Megan Rapinoe, musician John Legend and “Daily Show” host Trevor Noah.De Blasio also directed owners of office buildings over 100 feet tall to set thermostats to 78 degrees Fahrenheit through Sunday to conserve energy. In Sioux Falls, South Dakota, traffic was back up along I-229 after a large section of road buckled under the heat. Traffic on the Interstate 229 southbound lanes was backed up Friday afternoon because a large portion of road buckled under the heat. •In south-central Kansas, around Wichita, two roads also cracked this week as temperatures reached 100 degrees and higher.“The buckling is essentially caused by concrete, which is more rigid than asphalt, expanding to the point it breaks open at a weak point during hot weather,” said Tim Potter, a Kansas Department of Transportation spokesman, The Wichita Eagle reported. “Sometimes, the pressure can cause concrete to explode into the air. The problem also can occur when asphalt is laid over concrete. The dark asphalt absorbs heat and can add to the pressure.” •Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers declared a state of emergency after two fires broke out at electric substations in Madison, WISC reported. He said he issued the declaration to "provide support during the large power outage that is exacerbated by the extreme heat wave affecting the area."The Weather Channel offers a bit of good news after the weekend: A dip in the jet stream will spread from the upper Midwest on Sunday to the East Coast by Monday,ushering in cooler, drier air to much of the Plains, Midwest and East.Contributing: Associated Press.
113 degrees in France: why Europe is so vulnerable to extreme heat-All-time temperature records have been broken in the heat wave sweeping the continent.By Umair Irfan Updated Jun 28, 2019, 11:53am EDT
Deadly hot weather has set records across Europe this week as a heat wave baked the continent. Monthly and all-time temperature records were broken Wednesday in parts of Germany, Poland, France, Spain, and the Czech Republic. At least two people died from the heat in Spain. Clermont-Ferrand, France reported a record high of 105.6 degrees Fahrenheit. But the country’s all-time temperature record of 113.2 degrees Fahrenheit in the village of Villevieille on Friday.“The whole government is mobilized,” French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters on Monday. Public health warnings for heat have also been issued in Belgium, Italy, and Switzerland.For the first time on record, #France sees a temperature above 45°C. Gallargues-le-Montueux recorded 45,9 °C, and Villevieille 45.1°C this afternoon. In France. in June. @meteofrance https://t.co/EfK5t9eCBd #heatwave #climatechange pic.twitter.com/yxGlfmUtms— WMO | OMM (@WMO) June 28, 2019-The heat has forced the cancellation of some public events and caused schools in France to postpone exams for the first time ever. Public cooling rooms have been opened in Paris and other cities. The Women’s World Cup in France is still underway; matches are scheduled for evenings this week.The heat has also helped create the dry conditions fueling a massive 10,000-acre wildfire in Spain, one of the worst to hit the Catalonia region in 20 years.Europe’s hot weather this follows some unusually warm temperatures in other parts of the world this month, including the Arctic. Temperatures in Greenland surged up to 40 degrees Fahrenheit above what’s normal this time of year, leading to the largest ice melt this early in the season on record. A heat wave in India this month has already killed dozens.The high temperatures in Europe also stand to harm millions of people. And as average temperatures rise due to climate change, these spans of extreme heat are poised to get longer, more intense, more frequent, and deadlier.This week’s sweltering weather is concerning because there are several key factors that make people in Europe vulnerable to extreme heat.These factors converged to a devastating effect in the summer of 2003, when a heat wave baked the continent with temperatures 13 degrees above the average normal for the region. The heat killed at least 30,000 people caused 13 billion Euros in financial damages. Some estimates put the death toll as high as 70,000. At the time, it was the hottest summer for Europe since the 16th century.It was a wake-up call for the continent and starkly illustrated the hazards of extreme heat and what could be in store if nothing is done as the climate changes. Public health officials have long known that heat is one of the deadliest weather phenomena. While there is some debate over whether extreme highs are more dangerous than extreme lows, there are a number of mechanisms that make heat concerning.High temperatures make it harder for the human body to shed heat, which can lead to dangerous conditions like heat exhaustion and heat stroke, as well as organ failure. But the biggest impacts of heat are indirect. It makes breathing more difficult. It worsens air quality. It stresses the circulatory system.So heat turns out to be most dangerous for people with underlying illnesses and without access to adequate cooling. During the 2003 heat wave in Europe, the elderly comprised the largest share of the casualties, many with preexisting health conditions.Europe is also not a region known for especially high temperatures, so many parts of the continent lack the resources to cope. Many buildings don’t have air conditioning and aren’t designed with passive cooling in mind. In Germany, as few as 2 percent of homes are air conditioned.But it’s not necessarily how high temperatures rise that makes them so dangerous; it’s how different they are from what’s normal. That’s why heat waves can kill people in cool climates. People in sunny southern Spain can more readily cope with triple-digit temperatures but 90-degree days in cooler northern Germany can send people to the hospital.Another factor to consider is that much of Europe is densely urbanized, with 72 percent of the European Union’s population living in cities, towns, and suburbs. Steel, concrete, and asphalt readily absorb heat and cause cities to warm up hotter than their rural surroundings, creating heat islands. As the populations of these cities grow, so does the number of people facing risks from extreme heat. And increasingly, it’s not just the sick and elderly who are vulnerable, but outdoor workers like farmers, landscapers, and construction crews.The length, intensity, and frequency of heat waves are on the rise, and Europe’s searing weather this week comports with what scientists expect as the climate changes, though it will take some time to tease out the specific extent of humanity’s role in the current wave.The number of #heatwaves in #France has doubled in the past 34 years and is expected to double again by 2050, per @meteofrance #ClimateChange pic.twitter.com/uUHT1HgnLT— WMO | OMM (@WMO) June 25, 2019-But researchers have built up a better understanding of last year’s heat wave across Europe in the context of climate change. Scientists reported last year that climate change has made heat waves similar to the 2018 heat wave in Europe five times more likely. Researchers also reported that 2018 was one of the hottest years ever.The concern now is that Europe today may not be prepared for the world to come. Infrastructure like roads, bridges, and rail tracks will now have to compensate for regularly high temperatures. Parts of Germany have already issued speed restrictions for the autobahn.Similarly, extreme heat helped drive major wildfires as far north as the Arctic circle last year. Wildfires have again surged in Europe this year, so parts of Europe are dealing with weighty questions of whether they should rebuild in fire-prone regions or start to retreat as the risk of massive blazes next to densely populated areas grows.

US forming 'coalition' of navies to protect ships amid Iran tensions-[The Telegraph]-YAHOONEWS-Josie Ensor-July 19, 2019
Hours before the hijacking of the British oil tanker in the Persian Gulf, America's special representative for Iran was explaining its position to diplomats in Washington.Some 100 envoys took part in the briefing by Brian Hook, who outlined the Trump administration's initiative for maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz.Mr Hook said tensions had risen sharply and necessitated the need for a "coalition" of navies to protect their ships through the strait.His words were underlined by the seizure of the British-flagged Stena Impero in the Gulf.Elaborating on the plans, US Central Command described it on Friday night as "a multinational maritime effort", called Operation Sentinel."The goal of Operation Sentinel is to promote maritime stability, ensure safe passage, and de-escalate tensions in international waters throughout the Arabian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait (BAM) and the Gulf of Oman."This maritime security framework will enable nations to provide escort to their flagged vessels while taking advantage of the cooperation of participating nations for coordination and enhanced maritime domain awareness and surveillance."The US had the day before been forced to down an Iranian drone that had flown too close to one of its navy ships. It could no longer sit idly by, he said.It was the first US military engagement with Iran after a series of increasingly serious incidents in the Gulf, and Donald Trump threatened more yesterday if Iranian planes flew too closely to its ships.Before the hijacking on Friday, a bizarre war of words broke out between the US and Iran after Tehran denied the president's claim that one of its drones had been destroyed."We have not lost any drone in the Strait of Hormuz nor anywhere else. I am worried that USS Boxer has shot down their own UAS [Unmanned Aerial System] by mistake," Abbas Araqchi, Iran's deputy foreign minister, responded in a tweet.Brig Gen Abolfazl Shekarchi added: "Despite Trump's baseless and delusional claims, all of [Iran's] drones ... have safely returned to their bases." The Revolutionary Guard released footage from what it said was the "downed drone".State TV claimed the timing notations showed it was still filming after Washington said it had been put out of action. The US said it had its own "clear evidence", but did not provide any. Mr Trump announced that the USS Boxer, an amphibious assault ship, "took defensive action" against the Iranian drone."The US reserves the right to defend our personnel, our facilities and interests and calls upon all nations to condemn Iran's attempts to disrupt freedom of navigation and global commerce," he said. A journalist aboard USS Boxer suggested that Iran had been harassing the navy ship before the drone was shot down.The reporter said an Iranian navy helicopter flew alongside them, yards from the deck, before it was chased away by a US helicopter. The convoy of six US warships passed several Iranian speedboats without incident, but was then tailed by a larger Iranian warship which came within 500 yards of Boxer.An Iranian Y-12 surveillance plane was then pursued by US helicopters before a surveillance drone came even closer and was then brought down by electronic warfare jamming.On Friday night, after reports that two British tankers had been intercepted, Bob Sanguinetti, chief executive of the UK's Chamber of Shipping, said the escalation in tensions in one of the world's most important chokepoints made it clear more protection for merchant vessels was urgently needed.He said the action was "in violation of international regulations which protect ships and their crews as they go about their legitimate business".
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps seizes British-flagged, Liberian-flagged tankers in Strait of Hormuz-[ABC News]-YAHOONEWS-PATRICK REEVELL and JULIA MACFARLANE-July 20, 2019
Iran's paramilitary Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps have seized a British-flagged and a Liberian-flagged oil tanker traveling through the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, Britain's foreign secretary said, in what appeared to be a significant new escalation between Tehran and Western countries.Late Friday, a management company for the Liberian tanker, Mesdar announced in a statement that "the armed guards have left and the vessel is free to continue the voyage. All crew are safe and well."Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said in a statement he was "extremely concerned by the seizure of two naval vessels by Iranian authorities."Iran's State TV said on Saturday that the British tanker was seized after it collided with a fishing vessel and ignored calls from the smaller craft.Late Friday evening, following meetings in Washington, D.C., with more than 60 foreign ambassadors, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced a U.S.-led maritime security initiative dubbed Operation Sentinel "to increase surveillance of and security in key waterways in the Middle East to ensure freedom of navigation in light of recent events in the Arabian Gulf region."The initiative, according to CENTCOM, "will nations to provide escort to their flagged vessels while taking advantage of the cooperation of participating nations for coordination and enhanced maritime domain awareness and surveillance." The statement does not specify the nations that have joined the coalition.The British tanker, the Stena Impero, was crossing through the strait when it abruptly changed course and headed north towards Iran's Qeshm island, ship tracking sites showed.That tanker's owner and management companies issued a statement that the ship was "approached by unidentified small crafts and a helicopter" while in international waters. "We are presently unable to contact the vessel which is now heading north towards Iran," the companies, Stena Bulk and Northern Marine Management, said in the statement.The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) said that its forces had seized the Stena Impero "due to non-compliance with international maritime law and regulations," according to a statement carried by Iranian state news agencies. The tanker had been guided to shore and was already in port, the statement said.The U.K. government has convened an emergency session of COBRA, its crisis committee, a senior U.K. official told ABC News, speaking on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to comment publicly. Hunt confirmed that he was attending the meeting to review "what we know and what we can do to swiftly secure the release of the two vessels."There were 23 crew aboard the Stena Impero, according to the statement from its owner, and currently there are no reports that any have suffered injury. Hunt said both vessels had crews comprised of a "range of nationalities," but noted there were no British citizens on board either ship.The seizure comes less than a month after the U.K. seized an Iranian oil tanker off the coast of Gibraltar, accusing it of violating European Union sanctions by trying to ship oil to Syria.Iran has repeatedly vowed retaliation since then and last week a British warship intervened to chase away Iranian small boats that approached another British tanker in the Strait of Hormuz.Tensions have spiked in the strait again in the past few days after Iran said it had seized another Panamanian flagged tanker on Thursday accused of oil smuggling and the U.S. said it had destroyed an Iranian drone that approached ones of its warships. Iran has denied any of its drones were destroyed.President Donald Trump said Thursday that the U.S. would be speaking to British officials about the situation and noted that the U.S. doesn’t have many tankers passing through the area."We heard that,” Trump told reporters as he departed the White House en route to New Jersey. "The United States has very few tankers going in because we're using our own energy now. We've made a lot of progress over the last two and a half years. So we don't have very many tankers going in, but we have a lot of ships there that are warships, and we'll talk to the U.K."The government did say a U.S.-flagged ship, the Maersk Chicago, was traveling through the Strait of Hormuz late Friday and was being monitored."We have patrol aircraft operating in international airspace monitoring the situation within the Strait of Hormuz," said Lt. Col. Earl Brown, CENTCOM Chief of Media Operations. "U.S. Naval Forces Central Command has been in contact with U.S. ships operating in the area to ensure their safety."The president noted multiple times that the U.S. and U.K. don’t have a “written agreement,” but that the two countries were strong allies and that "they’ll have a new prime minister soon, which is a good thing."Later, he said that Iran was “trouble, nothing but trouble.”The White House National Security Council spokesperson Garrett Marquis said the council is aware of the reports of the tanker's seizure."We are aware of reports that Iranian boats seized a British oil tanker," he said. "This is the second time in just over a week the U.K. has been the target of escalatory violence by the Iranian regime. The U.S. will continue to work with our allies and partners to defend our security and interests against Iran’s malign behavior."ABC News' Elizabeth McLaughlin and Cindy Smith contributed to this report.
Pompeo expresses disappointment over Turkey's acquisition of Russian missiles-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-July 20, 2019
WASHINGTON, July 20 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke with Turkey's Foreign Minister on Saturday and expressed disappointment over the country's acquisition of the Russian S-400 missile system, the U.S. State Department said in a statement.Washington had opposed Turkey's purchase of the Russian missile defense system and threatened to impose sanctions. Since then, President Donald Trump has been unclear over whether his administration was planning such an action.Several Republican and Democratic U.S. lawmakers on Thursday pressed Trump to impose sanctions on Turkey over the purchase.

Spain's Podemos accepts key condition for coalition deal with Socialists-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-July 19, 2019
MADRID (Reuters) - The leader of Spain's far-left Podemos party said on Friday he was willing to give up having a post in a coalition government, potentially opening a way out of stalled power-sharing talks with acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's Socialists.Sanchez, who won the most seats but fell short of a majority in a parliamentary election in April, hopes to be sworn in as prime minister in a parliamentary vote next week and even with Podemos's support he will still needs some extra votes from other parties.If he loses the vote, a two-month countdown will begin until a new election is held.On Thursday Sanchez ruled out having Podemos' leader Pablo Iglesias in his cabinet, citing differences on issues including how to handle Catalonia's independence drive. Sanchez said he had offered to include other qualified people from Podemos as requested by that party.Podemos accepted Sanchez's condition on Friday."I shouldn't be the excuse for the Socialists to justify why there will be no coalition of the left. Whether I'm in the cabinet or not will not be a problem as long as there are no more vetos and Podemos' presence in the government reflects the votes we have won," Iglesias said on Twitter.After Iglesias' announcement, Socialist sources said a potential deal between the two parties was possible but stressed that Sanchez would be the one to pick his government team."Without vetoes or impositions we can reach an agreement. The prime minister will listen to proposals and will decide the team. Let's start with the content. First, the program and afterwards the government," one of the sources said.An alliance of the Socialists with Podemos, their most natural political ally, would bring Sanchez almost within touching distance of the parliamentary majority he needs.Podemos wants some key ministerial portfolios in any coalition government, but Sanchez has offered only lower-ranking posts.(Reporting by Sam Edwards, Belen Carreno, Joan Faus; Editing by Gareth Jones; Editing by Frances Kerry and Gareth Jones)

7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
Weather chaos: Heat wave hits USA and Canada as Europe prepares for second heat wave within a month-By-Strange Sounds -Jul 20, 2019
While much of the U.S., like Canada, is caught in the grip of a punishing heat wave….Europe prepares for second heat wave within a month.heat wave usa canada europe july 2019, heat wave usa canada europe july 2019 map, heat wave usa canada europe july 2019-A heat wave already roasting Canada, the United States and parts of Europe is expected to intensify this weekend, prompting weather-related health concerns and cancellations.June has already been marked as the hottest ever recorded globally and many climate analysts have warned that July could be just as hot.Temperatures are skyrocketing from coast to coast in the United States and parts of Canada are facing similar weekend forecasts. Europe, which just escaped a dangerous hot spell, is expected to climb back into scorching temperatures next week.Here’s a look at the weather in store for Europe, Canada and the U.S.:Europe-The record summer weather may be best exemplified in Europe, where June ushered in history-making temperatures.France, which just saw relief from June’s heat, will see temperatures climb this weekend before it settles into another hot spell by Tuesday. The heat is likely to exacerbate drought conditions, Reuters reported, which has impacted nuclear power generation and “roasted” crops for farmers.Water use has also been restricted in about 61 regions.The French national temperature record was set on June 28 at 46 °C, according to Météo France, the French meteorological agency.Another bout of hot weather could blanket France, the U.K., Spain, Portugal, and Germany, among others next week, Météo France said.While the forecasts are not yet considered definitive, a week of 40 °C-plus heat could be on the horizon.-United States-Temperatures have soared across the U.S. in recent days and more heat is on the way.A heat wave has closed in on the Midwest and East Coast over the past few days, including Chicago, St. Louis and Cleveland, and is continuing to cook the East Coast.In Omaha, where temperatures felt like 97 Fahrenheit (36 °C) on Friday, employees of the National Weather Service station there attempted to bake biscuits in a car sitting in a parking lot.Biscuit update: the pan has reached 175 degrees in 60 minuted and the tops of the biscuits are at 153.This is a good time to remind everyone that your car does in fact get deadly hot. Look before you lock! On average 38 children die in hot cars each year. Don't be a statistic! pic.twitter.com/OBKK1q1F8T— NWS Omaha (@NWSOmaha) July 18, 2019-On Friday, Washington, D.C. could top 100 °F (38 °C) and Philadephia 97 °F (36 °C).New York is forecast to reach 91 °F (32 °C), with temperatures feeling like 110 with humidity.Saturday and Sunday will see temperatures hover around the same marks.The sweltering conditions put a lid on the New York City Triathlon, scheduled for Sunday, and a horse race in upstate New York on Saturday.The cancellation followed an excessive heat warning issued by the U.S. National Weather Service across much of the country.“There are 124 million people under a heat advisory or excessive heat warning — that’s a third of the population,” meteorologist David Roth told Reuters.There are also fears about the impact on hydro.Americans who live in an area impacted by the heat are being asked to conserve energy when possible, as too much stress on the system could lead to outages. New York utility company Con Edison told CNN that it is “ready for what the heat will bring” and is “poised to respond” to any outages.In Chicago, public housing officials will conduct well-being checks on residents and ensuring temperatures in non-air conditioned units don’t hit dangerous levels. The regional train service has also been forced to slow down due to the excessive heat.In Detroit, precautions are being taken at Detroit Receiving Hospital as temperatures spike. Intravenous fluids that are normally stored at room temperature are being cooled with fans, the medical director told The Associated Press.The temperature there on Friday hit 92 °F (33 °C) and Saturday 98 °F (37 °C), feeling more like 111 with humidity (44).Canada-Just across the border in Windsor, Ont., things aren’t much better. The southernmost city in Canada will cook this weekend, as well, with temperatures reaching the same on Saturday — 37 °C. The humidity will also make it feel more like 40 or higher, Environment Canada said.A huge swath of southern Ontario is under an extreme heat warning. According to Environment Canada, the temperature in Toronto was forecast to reach 34 °C on Friday and Saturday, feeling warmer with the humidity. Saturday is on track to be the hottest day of the year so far for southern Ontario.The same goes for a large part of Quebec. Montreal could see upwards of 30 °C on Friday.The heat wave is likely to make its way into most of Atlantic Canada this weekend, as well, but rain could reduce the impact.There is some respite in store for Canada, however. As Global News Chief meteorologist Anthony Farnell said previously, rain in the forecast for Sunday in some areas, including Ottawa, Toronto, Montreal, and Kingston, could bring down the temperatures.
Searing heat across nation, reaching 100 degrees in some spots, takes its toll on events and roads-[USA TODAY]-Doug Stanglin-July 20, 2019
A relentless heat wave gripped the country from the central states to the East Coast Saturday, prompting cancellation of the New York City Triathlon and producing cracked and buckled roads in some Plains states. Some East Coast cities braced for temperatures in the triple digits.As the stifling heat - expected to affect 200 million people - settled in for at least a fifth day, the National Weather Service issued an Excessive Heat Warnings and Heat Advisory from parts of the Texas Panhandle to the Ohio Valley, around the Great Lakes, parts of the Mid-Atlantic and in the Northeast.An Excessive Heat Warning is issued when the combination of heat and humidity is expected to make it feel like it is 105 degrees or greater.Daytime temperatures in the mid to upper 90s or higher plus high humidity will result in heat indices as high as 115 for some, forecasters said.Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York and Boston were bracing for weekend temperatures in the triple digits. New York City and Baltimore were under a Code Red Extreme Heat Alert that is expected to continue through Sunday. "It’s been since July of 2012 that Chicago and Philadelphia both hit 100 degrees, and Washington, D.C., hasn’t hit 100 since August of 2016," says AccuWeather Meteorologist Danielle Knittle.In addition, forecasters warned that overnight temperatures were not likely to fall far enough to bring relief, pariticularly in larger cities, like Chicago, St. Louis and New York City.Cities in Vermont and New Hampshire opened shelters where people could cool off.The high heat took its toll across the country: In New York City, officials canceled Sunday's New York City Triathlon. Likewise, Mayor Bill De Blasio scrapped the two-day outdoor OZY Fest in Central Park featuring soccer star Megan Rapinoe, musician John Legend and “Daily Show” host Trevor Noah.De Blasio also directed owners of office buildings over 100 feet tall to set thermostats to 78 degrees Fahrenheit through Sunday to conserve energy. In Sioux Falls, South Dakota, traffic was back up along I-229 after a large section of road buckled under the heat. Traffic on the Interstate 229 southbound lanes was backed up Friday afternoon because a large portion of road buckled under the heat. •In south-central Kansas, around Wichita, two roads also cracked this week as temperatures reached 100 degrees and higher.“The buckling is essentially caused by concrete, which is more rigid than asphalt, expanding to the point it breaks open at a weak point during hot weather,” said Tim Potter, a Kansas Department of Transportation spokesman, The Wichita Eagle reported. “Sometimes, the pressure can cause concrete to explode into the air. The problem also can occur when asphalt is laid over concrete. The dark asphalt absorbs heat and can add to the pressure.” •Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers declared a state of emergency after two fires broke out at electric substations in Madison, WISC reported. He said he issued the declaration to "provide support during the large power outage that is exacerbated by the extreme heat wave affecting the area."The Weather Channel offers a bit of good news after the weekend: A dip in the jet stream will spread from the upper Midwest on Sunday to the East Coast by Monday,ushering in cooler, drier air to much of the Plains, Midwest and East.Contributing: Associated Press.
113 degrees in France: why Europe is so vulnerable to extreme heat-All-time temperature records have been broken in the heat wave sweeping the continent.By Umair Irfan Updated Jun 28, 2019, 11:53am EDT
Deadly hot weather has set records across Europe this week as a heat wave baked the continent. Monthly and all-time temperature records were broken Wednesday in parts of Germany, Poland, France, Spain, and the Czech Republic. At least two people died from the heat in Spain. Clermont-Ferrand, France reported a record high of 105.6 degrees Fahrenheit. But the country’s all-time temperature record of 113.2 degrees Fahrenheit in the village of Villevieille on Friday.“The whole government is mobilized,” French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters on Monday. Public health warnings for heat have also been issued in Belgium, Italy, and Switzerland.For the first time on record, #France sees a temperature above 45°C. Gallargues-le-Montueux recorded 45,9 °C, and Villevieille 45.1°C this afternoon. In France. in June. @meteofrance https://t.co/EfK5t9eCBd #heatwave #climatechange pic.twitter.com/yxGlfmUtms— WMO | OMM (@WMO) June 28, 2019-The heat has forced the cancellation of some public events and caused schools in France to postpone exams for the first time ever. Public cooling rooms have been opened in Paris and other cities. The Women’s World Cup in France is still underway; matches are scheduled for evenings this week.The heat has also helped create the dry conditions fueling a massive 10,000-acre wildfire in Spain, one of the worst to hit the Catalonia region in 20 years.Europe’s hot weather this follows some unusually warm temperatures in other parts of the world this month, including the Arctic. Temperatures in Greenland surged up to 40 degrees Fahrenheit above what’s normal this time of year, leading to the largest ice melt this early in the season on record. A heat wave in India this month has already killed dozens.The high temperatures in Europe also stand to harm millions of people. And as average temperatures rise due to climate change, these spans of extreme heat are poised to get longer, more intense, more frequent, and deadlier.This week’s sweltering weather is concerning because there are several key factors that make people in Europe vulnerable to extreme heat.These factors converged to a devastating effect in the summer of 2003, when a heat wave baked the continent with temperatures 13 degrees above the average normal for the region. The heat killed at least 30,000 people caused 13 billion Euros in financial damages. Some estimates put the death toll as high as 70,000. At the time, it was the hottest summer for Europe since the 16th century.It was a wake-up call for the continent and starkly illustrated the hazards of extreme heat and what could be in store if nothing is done as the climate changes. Public health officials have long known that heat is one of the deadliest weather phenomena. While there is some debate over whether extreme highs are more dangerous than extreme lows, there are a number of mechanisms that make heat concerning.High temperatures make it harder for the human body to shed heat, which can lead to dangerous conditions like heat exhaustion and heat stroke, as well as organ failure. But the biggest impacts of heat are indirect. It makes breathing more difficult. It worsens air quality. It stresses the circulatory system.So heat turns out to be most dangerous for people with underlying illnesses and without access to adequate cooling. During the 2003 heat wave in Europe, the elderly comprised the largest share of the casualties, many with preexisting health conditions.Europe is also not a region known for especially high temperatures, so many parts of the continent lack the resources to cope. Many buildings don’t have air conditioning and aren’t designed with passive cooling in mind. In Germany, as few as 2 percent of homes are air conditioned.But it’s not necessarily how high temperatures rise that makes them so dangerous; it’s how different they are from what’s normal. That’s why heat waves can kill people in cool climates. People in sunny southern Spain can more readily cope with triple-digit temperatures but 90-degree days in cooler northern Germany can send people to the hospital.Another factor to consider is that much of Europe is densely urbanized, with 72 percent of the European Union’s population living in cities, towns, and suburbs. Steel, concrete, and asphalt readily absorb heat and cause cities to warm up hotter than their rural surroundings, creating heat islands. As the populations of these cities grow, so does the number of people facing risks from extreme heat. And increasingly, it’s not just the sick and elderly who are vulnerable, but outdoor workers like farmers, landscapers, and construction crews.The length, intensity, and frequency of heat waves are on the rise, and Europe’s searing weather this week comports with what scientists expect as the climate changes, though it will take some time to tease out the specific extent of humanity’s role in the current wave.The number of #heatwaves in #France has doubled in the past 34 years and is expected to double again by 2050, per @meteofrance #ClimateChange pic.twitter.com/uUHT1HgnLT— WMO | OMM (@WMO) June 25, 2019-But researchers have built up a better understanding of last year’s heat wave across Europe in the context of climate change. Scientists reported last year that climate change has made heat waves similar to the 2018 heat wave in Europe five times more likely. Researchers also reported that 2018 was one of the hottest years ever.The concern now is that Europe today may not be prepared for the world to come. Infrastructure like roads, bridges, and rail tracks will now have to compensate for regularly high temperatures. Parts of Germany have already issued speed restrictions for the autobahn.Similarly, extreme heat helped drive major wildfires as far north as the Arctic circle last year. Wildfires have again surged in Europe this year, so parts of Europe are dealing with weighty questions of whether they should rebuild in fire-prone regions or start to retreat as the risk of massive blazes next to densely populated areas grows.

9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.(RUSSIA-EGYPT AND MUSLIMS)
10 Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11 And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages;(ISRAEL) I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 To take a spoil,(OIL IS IN SPOIL) and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.

US forming 'coalition' of navies to protect ships amid Iran tensions-[The Telegraph]-YAHOONEWS-Josie Ensor-July 19, 2019
Hours before the hijacking of the British oil tanker in the Persian Gulf, America's special representative for Iran was explaining its position to diplomats in Washington.Some 100 envoys took part in the briefing by Brian Hook, who outlined the Trump administration's initiative for maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz.Mr Hook said tensions had risen sharply and necessitated the need for a "coalition" of navies to protect their ships through the strait.His words were underlined by the seizure of the British-flagged Stena Impero in the Gulf.Elaborating on the plans, US Central Command described it on Friday night as "a multinational maritime effort", called Operation Sentinel."The goal of Operation Sentinel is to promote maritime stability, ensure safe passage, and de-escalate tensions in international waters throughout the Arabian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait (BAM) and the Gulf of Oman."This maritime security framework will enable nations to provide escort to their flagged vessels while taking advantage of the cooperation of participating nations for coordination and enhanced maritime domain awareness and surveillance."The US had the day before been forced to down an Iranian drone that had flown too close to one of its navy ships. It could no longer sit idly by, he said.It was the first US military engagement with Iran after a series of increasingly serious incidents in the Gulf, and Donald Trump threatened more yesterday if Iranian planes flew too closely to its ships.Before the hijacking on Friday, a bizarre war of words broke out between the US and Iran after Tehran denied the president's claim that one of its drones had been destroyed."We have not lost any drone in the Strait of Hormuz nor anywhere else. I am worried that USS Boxer has shot down their own UAS [Unmanned Aerial System] by mistake," Abbas Araqchi, Iran's deputy foreign minister, responded in a tweet.Brig Gen Abolfazl Shekarchi added: "Despite Trump's baseless and delusional claims, all of [Iran's] drones ... have safely returned to their bases." The Revolutionary Guard released footage from what it said was the "downed drone".State TV claimed the timing notations showed it was still filming after Washington said it had been put out of action. The US said it had its own "clear evidence", but did not provide any. Mr Trump announced that the USS Boxer, an amphibious assault ship, "took defensive action" against the Iranian drone."The US reserves the right to defend our personnel, our facilities and interests and calls upon all nations to condemn Iran's attempts to disrupt freedom of navigation and global commerce," he said. A journalist aboard USS Boxer suggested that Iran had been harassing the navy ship before the drone was shot down.The reporter said an Iranian navy helicopter flew alongside them, yards from the deck, before it was chased away by a US helicopter. The convoy of six US warships passed several Iranian speedboats without incident, but was then tailed by a larger Iranian warship which came within 500 yards of Boxer.An Iranian Y-12 surveillance plane was then pursued by US helicopters before a surveillance drone came even closer and was then brought down by electronic warfare jamming.On Friday night, after reports that two British tankers had been intercepted, Bob Sanguinetti, chief executive of the UK's Chamber of Shipping, said the escalation in tensions in one of the world's most important chokepoints made it clear more protection for merchant vessels was urgently needed.He said the action was "in violation of international regulations which protect ships and their crews as they go about their legitimate business".
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps seizes British-flagged, Liberian-flagged tankers in Strait of Hormuz-[ABC News]-YAHOONEWS-PATRICK REEVELL and JULIA MACFARLANE-July 20, 2019
Iran's paramilitary Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps have seized a British-flagged and a Liberian-flagged oil tanker traveling through the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, Britain's foreign secretary said, in what appeared to be a significant new escalation between Tehran and Western countries.Late Friday, a management company for the Liberian tanker, Mesdar announced in a statement that "the armed guards have left and the vessel is free to continue the voyage. All crew are safe and well."Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said in a statement he was "extremely concerned by the seizure of two naval vessels by Iranian authorities."Iran's State TV said on Saturday that the British tanker was seized after it collided with a fishing vessel and ignored calls from the smaller craft.Late Friday evening, following meetings in Washington, D.C., with more than 60 foreign ambassadors, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced a U.S.-led maritime security initiative dubbed Operation Sentinel "to increase surveillance of and security in key waterways in the Middle East to ensure freedom of navigation in light of recent events in the Arabian Gulf region."The initiative, according to CENTCOM, "will nations to provide escort to their flagged vessels while taking advantage of the cooperation of participating nations for coordination and enhanced maritime domain awareness and surveillance." The statement does not specify the nations that have joined the coalition.The British tanker, the Stena Impero, was crossing through the strait when it abruptly changed course and headed north towards Iran's Qeshm island, ship tracking sites showed.That tanker's owner and management companies issued a statement that the ship was "approached by unidentified small crafts and a helicopter" while in international waters. "We are presently unable to contact the vessel which is now heading north towards Iran," the companies, Stena Bulk and Northern Marine Management, said in the statement.The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) said that its forces had seized the Stena Impero "due to non-compliance with international maritime law and regulations," according to a statement carried by Iranian state news agencies. The tanker had been guided to shore and was already in port, the statement said.The U.K. government has convened an emergency session of COBRA, its crisis committee, a senior U.K. official told ABC News, speaking on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to comment publicly. Hunt confirmed that he was attending the meeting to review "what we know and what we can do to swiftly secure the release of the two vessels."There were 23 crew aboard the Stena Impero, according to the statement from its owner, and currently there are no reports that any have suffered injury. Hunt said both vessels had crews comprised of a "range of nationalities," but noted there were no British citizens on board either ship.The seizure comes less than a month after the U.K. seized an Iranian oil tanker off the coast of Gibraltar, accusing it of violating European Union sanctions by trying to ship oil to Syria.Iran has repeatedly vowed retaliation since then and last week a British warship intervened to chase away Iranian small boats that approached another British tanker in the Strait of Hormuz.Tensions have spiked in the strait again in the past few days after Iran said it had seized another Panamanian flagged tanker on Thursday accused of oil smuggling and the U.S. said it had destroyed an Iranian drone that approached ones of its warships. Iran has denied any of its drones were destroyed.President Donald Trump said Thursday that the U.S. would be speaking to British officials about the situation and noted that the U.S. doesn’t have many tankers passing through the area."We heard that,” Trump told reporters as he departed the White House en route to New Jersey. "The United States has very few tankers going in because we're using our own energy now. We've made a lot of progress over the last two and a half years. So we don't have very many tankers going in, but we have a lot of ships there that are warships, and we'll talk to the U.K."The government did say a U.S.-flagged ship, the Maersk Chicago, was traveling through the Strait of Hormuz late Friday and was being monitored."We have patrol aircraft operating in international airspace monitoring the situation within the Strait of Hormuz," said Lt. Col. Earl Brown, CENTCOM Chief of Media Operations. "U.S. Naval Forces Central Command has been in contact with U.S. ships operating in the area to ensure their safety."The president noted multiple times that the U.S. and U.K. don’t have a “written agreement,” but that the two countries were strong allies and that "they’ll have a new prime minister soon, which is a good thing."Later, he said that Iran was “trouble, nothing but trouble.”The White House National Security Council spokesperson Garrett Marquis said the council is aware of the reports of the tanker's seizure."We are aware of reports that Iranian boats seized a British oil tanker," he said. "This is the second time in just over a week the U.K. has been the target of escalatory violence by the Iranian regime. The U.S. will continue to work with our allies and partners to defend our security and interests against Iran’s malign behavior."ABC News' Elizabeth McLaughlin and Cindy Smith contributed to this report.
Pompeo expresses disappointment over Turkey's acquisition of Russian missiles-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-July 20, 2019
WASHINGTON, July 20 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke with Turkey's Foreign Minister on Saturday and expressed disappointment over the country's acquisition of the Russian S-400 missile system, the U.S. State Department said in a statement.Washington had opposed Turkey's purchase of the Russian missile defense system and threatened to impose sanctions. Since then, President Donald Trump has been unclear over whether his administration was planning such an action.Several Republican and Democratic U.S. lawmakers on Thursday pressed Trump to impose sanctions on Turkey over the purchase.

Spain's Podemos accepts key condition for coalition deal with Socialists-[Reuters]-YAHOONEWS-July 19, 2019
MADRID (Reuters) - The leader of Spain's far-left Podemos party said on Friday he was willing to give up having a post in a coalition government, potentially opening a way out of stalled power-sharing talks with acting Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's Socialists.Sanchez, who won the most seats but fell short of a majority in a parliamentary election in April, hopes to be sworn in as prime minister in a parliamentary vote next week and even with Podemos's support he will still needs some extra votes from other parties.If he loses the vote, a two-month countdown will begin until a new election is held.On Thursday Sanchez ruled out having Podemos' leader Pablo Iglesias in his cabinet, citing differences on issues including how to handle Catalonia's independence drive. Sanchez said he had offered to include other qualified people from Podemos as requested by that party.Podemos accepted Sanchez's condition on Friday."I shouldn't be the excuse for the Socialists to justify why there will be no coalition of the left. Whether I'm in the cabinet or not will not be a problem as long as there are no more vetos and Podemos' presence in the government reflects the votes we have won," Iglesias said on Twitter.After Iglesias' announcement, Socialist sources said a potential deal between the two parties was possible but stressed that Sanchez would be the one to pick his government team."Without vetoes or impositions we can reach an agreement. The prime minister will listen to proposals and will decide the team. Let's start with the content. First, the program and afterwards the government," one of the sources said.An alliance of the Socialists with Podemos, their most natural political ally, would bring Sanchez almost within touching distance of the parliamentary majority he needs.Podemos wants some key ministerial portfolios in any coalition government, but Sanchez has offered only lower-ranking posts.(Reporting by Sam Edwards, Belen Carreno, Joan Faus; Editing by Gareth Jones; Editing by Frances Kerry and Gareth Jones)
