wake me up when we hit 120 imo

I visited Phoenix in February and it was super nice, citrus trees fruiting all over and a super pleasant climate for like half the year maybe?.

I could make a living there, too. But AZ is going to need a massive desalination plant on the Sea of Cortez to replace CO River water and lol i'm not betting on that.

i wonder if a 2/3/4 stage evaporative cooler would be sustainable in phoenix. sure water is going to be an issue in the mid term but the alternative doomsday scenario is the east coast scalding swamp weather.

evaporative cooler assisted AC too.

Atmospheric river forecast to hit southwestern B.C. Thursday through Saturday. The cool, wet winter and spring means we have a healthy snowpack in the mountains and unlike the last 10 years of "normal" it hasn't really started to melt off yet. Gaia's about to turn a firehose on it though so we might have some interesting flooding pictures by the end of the weekend.

Really depends on the severity of the atmospheric river. They're a fairly constant fact of life in the PNW but some are much more prominent than others, which motivated forecasters to adopt a rating scale not long ago.

Plastic would weather to much. Definitely needs to be a thick layer of always protective asbestos.

the problem is that "wet bulb" infers some amount of moisture. a lot of it even.

but the reality is that what we are referring to more simply is "so hot you die." clearly that's a thing, it can be so hot that you will no longer continue to be alive. if you jumped in a volcano we can all agree that it will be so hot that you die. if we built a larger version of your kitchen oven and you were to go in it while cooking a giant pizza, you'd die. babies are often killed in cars, not just from all-to-frequent violent collisions, but also when parents absentmindedly forget them and the inside of the car gets so hot that they die.

there will be many places on the earth where it is routinely so hot that you die

You can have wet bulb events with low humidity if the heat index gets high enough.

In 100% humidity, wet bulb is identical to the dry bulb (the air) temperature. You can still have wet bulb events with very low relative humidity, but it requires higher air temperatures.

very low relative humidity? doesn't sound so wet to me *dies from it being too hot*
