Record for most days over 100 degrees per year in San Antonio

[Winehole23]

Natural gas interests have lobbied against investing to upgrade transmission lines to deliver wind power where it is needed.i'm old enough to remember when Greg Abbott said new reforms fix all the flaws.

maybe he was being ironic.

Following deregulation of major portions of the electric market in 1999, Texas’ “energy-only” electric
market operated as designed, with lucrative competition keeping electricity prices low. With the various
market participants and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) generally managing the
grid, the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUC) never had cause to take a step back and consider
how things were working, how it might improve operations, or what funding and staff may be needed
to do so. Winter Storm Uri completely changed this dynamic. In February 2021, Winter Storm Uri
exposed unacceptable vulnerabilities in the state’s electric grid. Critical electric and water utilities failed,
almost 11 million Texas homes and businesses lost power or water for days, and tragically, more than
200 people died.
In response to the disaster, the Legislature completely overhauled PUC’s and ERCOT’s governance
structures and made numerous changes to the electric industry and market. To keep a close watch on
the implementation of these significant changes and identify other needed changes to their operations,
the Legislature also moved up the Sunset date for these entities, as well as the Office of Public Utility
Counsel (OPUC), two years to 2023.

After the 2021 winter storm, the Sunset Commission was tasked with analyzing the oversight of the Texas grid. They have been reporting pretty consistently over the last couple years and this is the latest from last June.

If you are looking for an informed opinion on the matter this is one of the best resources.

Yes, it's a 50/50 chance on whether we break Barry Bonds today, and after today it's unlikely we get another 100 degree day until next summer.

Airport says 99 at the moment, TWC still saying forecast high of 101 at the airport though.

Nope we hit 100 and Bonds goes down. Still possible we get another 100 degree day or three thrown in next week since NOAA has tomorrow and Thursday forecast at 98 and Wednesday 97.

R.I.P. Summer 2023

The GOAT, the all time legend, the Tom Brady of summers in Texas.

Got an extra half month of 100+ over its closest competitor. This summer has been like the 2008 Celtics running up the score in Game 6. I'm still not counting out another heat dome weaseling its way in and taking us back to 103 for a week before the month ends though. We have had 100 degree days as late as September 26th and this summer isn't respecting old records anyways.

Not impossible. Though I don't believe SA has ever had a 100+ degree day in October.

That was a glorious evening, the next 2 years not so much.

I'm no Mavs fan by any standards, but that one afternoon in May 2011 was sure fun to watch too, especially when the losers started getting dirty with the cheap shots, proving the true colors of that dirty franchise

Even as a big LeBron fan I was rooting hard for Dallas to win it all after the way they decimated the Lakers. Game 2 of that Finals is one of my favorites not involving the Spurs, just awesome seeing Dirk pull a Tim Duncan / Hakeem Olajuwon and get on that run and win a title without an allstar teammate. Considering San Antonio has had a 100 degree day in February I think no month is safe though.

The above image, adapted from Climate Reanalyzer (https://climatereanalyzer.org/research_tools/monthly_maps), and the image below, adapted from NASA (https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/maps), both use the same 1951-1980 baseline to illustrate the October 2023 temperature anomaly.

https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2nD5LLK8-v0nfKAmGxLkudpm_mNvj-RsZ_irYgqg0a282cbqqrajjw07pzDY1dXYcqxOygDtHcsCcXd9 GZFNkV2TQS97VJ__R_Sgg89SLWzzt2N-HxtmYwPyvGqZjgdLmQLNIWN0rfinSIMv2Btn8ZAhwL7fL5r5-l3kzw-8JrjnpspEB-_rgJ5o_zvs/w640-h412/October-2023.png

Anomalies are very high, especially over the Arctic Ocean, which reflects the enormous amounts of heat that are transferred from the Arctic Ocean to the atmosphere.

There are further reasons behind the very high anomalies over the Arctic, one of which is methane, which has risen very fast over the years.

The image [below] illustrates methane's historic rise, showing IPCC and, more recently, WMO data. Methane (CH₄) reached 1923 parts per billion (ppb) in 2022, 264% of the 1750 level, while carbon dioxide (CO₂) reached 417.9 parts per million (ppm) in 2022, 150% of the 1750 level, and nitrous oxide (N₂O) reached 335.8 ppb, 124% of the 1750 level.

Man has El Nino been a bust of epic proportion here. First by far the hottest summer ever recorded here by a mile when La Nina is supposed to be the hot one and then the supposedly strong fall rain season with El Nino has given us jack shit. Still in extreme drought a few days before Christmas. Such little rain that I only needed to mow a few days ago for the first time since early June.

The plant never went dormant, it makes no sense to pull off the leaves or prune the bush, which after all survived 3 bad freezes and two brutally hot summers. My inclination is not to cut the rose bush at all.

Profiteering Hampers U.S. Grid Expansion Private utility companies are blocking new interregional transmission lines

The United States is not building enough transmission lines to connect regional power networks. The deficit is driving up electricity prices, reducing grid reliability, and hobbling renewable-energy deployment.

At the heart of the problem are utility companies that refuse to pursue interregional transmission projects, and sometimes even impede them, because new projects threaten their profits and disrupt their industry alliances. Utilities can stall transmission expansion because out-of-date laws sanction these companies’ sweeping control over transmission development.

As we increasingly electrify our homes, transportation, and factories, utility companies’ choices about transmission will have huge consequences for the nation’s economy and well-being. About 40 corporations, valued at a trillion dollars, own the vast majority of transmission lines in the United States. Their grip over the backbone of U.S. grids demands public scrutiny and accountability.

Fuelled by climate change, the world's oceans have broken temperature records every single day over the past year, a BBC analysis finds.
Nearly 50 days have smashed existing highs for the time of year by the largest margin in the satellite era.

Planet-warming gases are mostly to blame, but the natural weather event El Niño has also helped warm the seas.The super-heated oceans have hit marine life hard and driven a new wave of coral bleaching.

The analysis is based on data from the EU's Copernicus Climate Service, Copernicus also confirmed that last month was the warmest April on record in terms of global air temperatures, extending that sequence of month-specific records to 11 in a row.https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-68921215

Exactly.

Extremes in both directions with the average temps go up.
Its really quite interesting that the science got this correct albeit not nearly as gradual as they thought. In fact its so accelerated if we were not around to witness it, it could look like some drastic cosmic event or plate tectonic disaster.
Also their predictions on which parts of the world would change the most and into what were scattered (this would have to be very, very tough to figure.)

And the red team is all about spending and the debt, hilarious contradiction. We are having to rebuild ports and seaside structures, move farming to different spots, ect... the little ant brain in us cant keep up.
Its not like we have not had this lesson before locally. London had to completely poison their air during and after the industrial revolution for people to say enough, rethink. So many local examples of the stupidity of profit now, fk the air and surroundings. This killed off civilizations. We dont learn very well.

I really need some sort of chart that takes wind into account because it definitely helps. Especially when I stop and drink.

That evening wind is coming off the gulf and bringing more humidity, not less man. Gotta have a wind from the north for it to drop humidity but we won't see that until Monday night when the less-hot front blows in.

So it’s that type of battle.
Wind definitely is much better for evaporative cooling.
But there is definitely a point where wind has its cooling effects counterbalanced with humidity.

And then I must have water stops working to soak myself. The wicking rag I wear is super helpful in cooling my back, neck and head. The ground fortunately is still cool enough so there is still cooler water if you run the water a bit at the water stops. I have only water 3 bottle holders on my bike and I’m not going to wear a backpack or use big packs on my bike. I’m giving it a shot. Swimming is great but I need to put my legs to work. Not gonna run on a treadmill inside and definitely not running outside (it’s counterproductive for me in this type of heat and humidity.)

I cannot imagine working construction… Thats just nuts. You really got to plan to stay in the shade as much as you can. Work West early and move east opposite the sun. (If you are lucky enough to have a structure to provide shade)

I wonder what they do pouring slabs… Do it at night? The concrete sets more poorly if you can’t cool water it.

Well the wind can hardly make it much more humid than it already is, as we haven't set into our summer dry... no less wet, heat pattern yet as the dewpoint is 73 at 3PM. Good enough for a 115 heat index in my zipcode right now. :pctoss

Two best things to have based on my own experience is wind and shade (took the very shady route of the greenway) if it’s available. (Given the temp and humidity) 17 mph winds SSE. I think it gusted higher.

Oh. I also did not push it. Hardly ever got out of the saddle to peddle and coasted more than usual.

I'd say relative humidity doesn't really tell you much about how the air feels; gotta go dew point for that measure. Any dewpoint below 45 is amazing, think of how mountain air on a Colorado summer morning feels. Dew point below 55 is still really nice, like a fall day in SA. Dew point 60-65 is where it starts feeling kind of humid. Dew point 65-70 gross. Dew point 70-75 face feels sticky the second you step outside. Dew point 75-80 face feels like you rubbed butter all over it if you spend two minutes outside. Dew point 80-85 FML how do you breathe water? For comparison sake dewpoint was 72-76 today, whereas during that horrible stretch of three days in June last year it was up to 84 in the middle of the day which is the highest I have ever seen it here and is more in line with the worst days in say in Kolkota, India.

Agree.

But I get a wider variation of numbers.
You can definitely feel it changing depending if you are by vegetation or rocky creek bed as well as slight elevation differences especially when the air is still. Dry white rocky creekbed is awful in this weather. Underpasses vary. The greenway trials really change in elevation on Leon Creek trail.

And how I feel on a bike is very non scientific. Shade and wind are my friends during our summers now. I just can’t believe it used to be so much easier. I got a new hybrid type bike that just glides and is really comfy body fit wise. Still does not defeat extreme weather.

The breathing in of humid hot air is interesting as it’s more doable imo if you are cooling properly. When I read about the women’s Olympic marathon in Japan, and they had two military physiologists announce and write about it, I got some insight.
This is when I truly realized how important evaporative cooling is in the summer. And how wind by a cold seashore can absolutely open cracks on your face because of such rapid cooling.

Im really just doing my best to climatize as best as I can right now. Another August and Sept like we had will trigger a meeting of the tribe concerning relocation. I’m definitely better in warm weather but this is just stupid hot/humid.

Our coastline and kayak fishing.
This State has a variety of cool outdoor places.
Well, they used to be “cool”.

My ties to the State run very deep from family as well. Texans from way, way back. 4 generations going to UT Austin. And the ones before that did not go to college from way, way back actually fought for the losing side in the Civil War. It’s funny for me to see native Texan on the back of a shiny elevated pickup with the requisite steel balls on the trailer hitch. I have a salt water rotted out truck that I keep alive in the critical care unit. (My driveway) It actually performs truck like functions without the testicles.

But… looking for a change. Plans are in the process. Negotiations ongoing. Lots of whathaveyou’s.

My brother lives in Santa Barbara. So only saltwater.
He has a boat in that beautiful city marina.
We go out to all those beautiful islands and fish for yellowtail, white bass, halibut, occasional tuna and the various rockfish.
(The fishing has definitely changed with the water temps. Tuna get up there now, but Yellowtail and white bass are much more difficult now.)
Go to the various shallow rock kelp beds and fish for calico bass. Anchor or tie up moor during the night.
I find it incredibly pleasant going to sleep in the bottom of a boat where you can hear the water against the hull.
I love looking and trying to identify all the giant cargo ships from all over the world that come through.
All of the different types of dolphin and porpoises, there is so much too look for. It is a little scary if you get the fog rolling in but my brother has some good weather apps and such so we try and stay safe.

I even went snorkeling for spiny lobster but only during the daytime. I dont know the tides and water well enough so it was unsuccessful but lots of things to see.

But I cannot afford this kind of fishing.

In Texas:
I have kayak in my garage, muscle for a much quieter and healthy ride, and miles and miles of wadeable water all while making almost no noise.
And I have so much more experience as I have been doing this the majority of my life. Pull the truck over, pull out my kayak. And Im on the water.
No motor to rot, very little metal to corrode. Its a beautiful thing. Very little maintenance and cost compared to a boat. I have seen kayakers in California mostly fishing for halibut.
BUT... getting through the surf looks like a royal pain in the neck. Kayaking in California is definitely a more dangerous experience.

Have you done the lighthouse lakes? I have had good success kayaking in there this time of year. Trout to 28" and school reds. Turn in at Crab Man, turn right, count ten telephone poles and park and unload. Cross the ship channel to a little cut that opens up to a great grass bottom lake.

I know light house lakes like the back of my hand. And I really used to love them the most.

When we had that huge freeze a whole hell of a lot of mangrove died which was not good.
We are now seeing the effects as the roots of the mangrove held a lot of mud in place.
When it gets windy, lighthouse lakes now muddies much quicker imo. Its harder to see fish now.
But it still has little nooks and crannies the airboats and regular flat bottom boats cant get to so I still fish it. Especially if I can find a couple of weekdays open to miss the boat rodeo of people just driving over fish. I dont mind the guys in the boats with fly rods as they actually look for fish and are quiet. Its a great place, but if too crowded I go elsewhere.
I would not mind seeing a no motor zone there. Like they have done in some of the smaller freshwater lakes.
Actually the boats kind of limit themselves as they run over each other and get into arguments. "you scared my school!" Its funny because the schools are tiny now. The dont gather near as often as they are run over too much. I wish there were more giant oyster patches like some of the places up north.

It’s estimated that heatwaves result in a 1% loss of global economic activity, a GDP hit that’s forecast to grow to 3.2% by 2050, according to newly revised projections from Chris Lafakis, director at Moody’s Analytics.

“There’s a chronic physical risk,” he said. “These are things that occur over a longer period of time, they accumulate and become more costly and disruptive as time progresses and the temperature steadily increases.”

An economic letter (https://www.frbsf.org/research-and-insights/publications/economic-letter/2024/05/impact-of-us-labor-productivity-losses-from-extreme-heat/) published last month by researchers at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco and Williams College in Massachusetts estimated that by 2200, extreme heat will reduce the US capital stock, or the value of accumulated investment, by 5.4% and annual consumption by 1.8%, primarily attributable to labor productivity losses in construction (and, subsequently, fewer buildings being built).[

[Winehole23]

sounds serious


“Strong income reductions are projected for the majority of regions, including North America and Europe, with South Asia and Africa being most strongly affected. These are caused by the impact of climate change on various aspects that are relevant for economic growth such as agricultural yields, labour productivity or infrastructure,” says PIK scientist and first author of the study Maximilian Kotz. Overall, global annual damages are estimated to be at 38 trillion dollars, with a likely range of 19-59 trillion Dollars in 2050. These damages mainly result from rising temperatures but also from changes in rainfall and temperature variability. Accounting for other weather extremes such as storms or wildfires could further raise them.

“Our analysis shows that climate change will cause massive economic damages within the next 25 years in almost all countries around the world, also in highly-developed ones such as Germany, France and the United States,” says PIK scientist Leonie Wenz who led the study. ”These near-term damages are a result of our past emissions. We will need more adaptation efforts if we want to avoid at least some of them. And we have to cut down our emissions drastically and immediately – if not, economic losses will become even bigger in the second half of the century, amounting to up to 60% on global average by 2100. This clearly shows that protecting our climate is much cheaper than not doing so, and that is without even considering non-economic impacts such as loss of life or biodiversity.”

One thing that has been striking about historical forecasts related to climate change is how conservative they have been, on the whole.

Environmental modeling re: global temperatures and deglaciation has come up notably short of measured change.New paper in Nature suggests the IPCC model might be significantly wrong -- on the low side.

Adapting to Climate Change Will Be Expensive — But Not as Expensive as Doing Nothing

The scope of the problem is vast.

As sea levels rise, $400 billion will be needed by 2040 to build sea walls to protect U.S. communities against floods expected to occur once per year, according to a 2019 study by the Center for Climate Integrity (https://www.climatecosts2040.org/files/ClimateCosts2040_Report.pdf), which used a moderate sea level rise scenario.

https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/00-climate-change-2.webp
The move of the Cape Hatteras lighthouse, an example of successful managed retreat. When completed in 1870, the lighthouse in North Carolina’s Outer Banks had been located a safe 1,500 feet inland from the ocean, but natural barrier island erosion processes, augmented by rising seas and storm-driven tides, had reduced this distance to just 120 feet by 1999. That year, the lighthouse was moved 1,500 feet back from the shoreline at a cost of $12 million. Locals were strongly opposed to the move, believing it would harm the tourist industry. Ironically, the lighthouse is now more of a tourist attraction than ever. The regional slope of the land is one to 10,000, which means that a one-foot rise in sea level could move the shoreline about two miles. Thus, the lighthouse will likely have to be moved again later this century. (Image credit: National Park Service (https://www.nps.gov/caha/learn/historyculture/movingthelighthouse.htm))


Other costs of preparing for sea level rise — including elevating buildings, hardening utilities, telecommunications, transportation systems, and water and sewage infrastructure, plus health care, community preparedness, and environmental protection and remediation, could be five to 10 times higher, or $2-4 trillion. Measures to protect communities from more infrequent floods, such as the one-in-100-year floods that are occurring with increasing regularity, could incur additional costs.

You can add to that bill the $104 billion needed (https://yaleclimateconnections.org/2023/01/if-a-megaflood-strikes-california-these-dams-might-be-at-risk/) to refurbish the nation’s dams, plus the tens of billions needed to upgrade our levees (https://infrastructurereportcard.org/cat-item/levees-infrastructure/). The Bipartisan Infrastructure Act of 2021 allocated some $50 billion (https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/04/30/fact-sheet-biden-harris-administration-announces-new-national-security-memorandum-on-critical-infrastructure/) over five years for climate change resiliency, but a 2021 recommendation from the American Society of Civil Engineers (https://infrastructurereportcard.org/resources/investment-gap-2020-2029/) estimated that over $2.5 trillion in unfunded infrastructure upgrades are needed by 2029 in order to attain “B” grades, meaning the infrastructure is safe and reliable.

You're in East Texas right? Our dew points in SA always get high like that at night since we 95% of the time June through the end of September have a strong SE wind coming off the gulf starting a little before sunset. Our daytime dew points suck right now (~70) because of the couple of inches of rain we got from Alberto but within a week or so our dewpoints will probably drop into the low to mid 60s in the daytime. Though that lack of moisture will probably mean our temps creep up from 99-100 like they have been for a few days up to 102-103 by the middle of the month.

Was kindly hot today, but it wasn't too bad after the sun went down in Austin. Felt mild and breezy, admittedly we had backyard fans and misters where I was. Fireworks haven't been too bad yet over here.
