![]() “We need to find a way to stop putting in carbon dioxide into the atmosphere so that we don’t induce further warming 20, 30, 40 years hence, so unquestionably there are things we can do now.” Sublette says there is still time to slow the trend. He says we will likely see failures of our infrastructure before we get to that point. Sublette says that Phoenix will not look like a scene from Mad Max in 50 years, however, he says we could see days where it is just too hot and dangerous to be outside for any length of time. Instead, she says we will find a way to deal with the heat. Selover says she doesn’t believe the Valley will become uninhabitable. ![]() So, the question is will Phoenix one day become uninhabitable? “Years like last year will become more common than they have been in the past,” says Sublette. However, according to Sublette, the threat of experiencing similar extreme heat more frequently is what is cause for concern. “We have extreme variability and so I don’t anticipate anywhere near those records next year, or potentially the year after that,” says Selover. Selover says that years like the last will not necessarily become our new normal. Researchers at Arizona State University say future projections show the warming caused by urban development would be similar to that caused by greenhouse gases if development and emissions remain as they are now.Ģ020 gave us a glimpse of what this trend could mean for the future of our state. The global warming signal isn’t the only factor in our warming temperatures, though. “We’re putting it in far, far more rapidly than it is going to be coming out and yeah, that’s from the burning of fossil fuels which is how we’ve been largely powering the economy.” You add carbon dioxide to the atmosphere and that’s a warming, that’s a warming molecule once it is up into the atmosphere.” Sublette says. “The basic physics has been known for more than 150 years.

The Mean Sea Level Pressure (MSLP) is direct model output from Numerical Weather Prediction models but is a guideline only. This service is based on data and products of the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Minus zero (-0) indicates values between 0 to -0.5☌. It forecasts air temperature on land and over sea in ☌ for the top of each hour, 3 hourly and finally 6 hourly intervals up to 7 days. The temperature is direct model output from Numerical Weather Prediction models but is a guideline only. However, in the text forecast below, it is described as where it is blowing from. The wind arrow tip points in the direction the wind is blowing and the tail length indicates wind strength. It forecasts the strength of the wind (in knots and km/h) at 10m for the top of each hour, in hourly, then 3 hourly and finally 6 hourly intervals up to 7 days. The wind is direct model output from Numerical Weather Prediction models but is a guideline only. This service is based on data and products of the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) It forecasts how much rain will fall (in mm) hourly during the previous hour (accumulations), then in 3 hourly and finally 6 hourly accumulations up to 7 days. Rain refers to precipitation, which can be rain, sleet or snow. The rainfall forecast is direct model output from Numerical Weather Prediction models but is a guideline only. Met Éireann forecasters manually produce the weather icons for midday and midnight to reflect the predicted major weather type for these times. Images are a combination of Met Éireann and Met Office radar in Dublin, Shannon,īelfast and Wales, when available. They are artefacts (false echoes) of rainfall radar systems and should be Dublin), Bright Bands and spokes may also be They are red but change to orange and then yellow after a period, then disappear. Lightning strikes, when they occur, are displayed as a cross.
