The arrival of summer brings with it the onset of Danger Season, a period marked by climate-driven weather extremes that can wreak havoc on communities across the country. As we enter mid-June, a staggering 78% of the population has already been affected by the alerts we monitor. The eastern US is bracing for an unprecedented heatwave that is set to grip the region for an extended period.

This article serves as the inaugural installment of our Danger Season Weekly Outlook series, where we will provide a brief overview of the extreme events we are monitoring, the implications for individuals and communities, and a preview of what to expect in the upcoming week.

Weather-wise, we are currently witnessing a convergence of various extreme events. Wildfires have been raging in Canada, leading to poor air quality in the Midwest and Northeast. Additionally, catastrophic flooding has struck certain areas. However, the imminent threat of extreme heat looms large over all other concerns.

A massive heat dome is forming over the central and eastern parts of the US, set to persist for the next week. This weather phenomenon, characterized by a prolonged period of high pressure and stagnant warm air, will result in scorching temperatures exceeding 90°F in many areas, with some cities like Boston, NYC, and Washington, DC, expected to surpass 100°F. The combination of high temperatures and humidity will create oppressive conditions, leading to heat indices well above 100°F in certain regions.

The climate change factor cannot be ignored in this scenario, as rising global temperatures have been linked to more frequent and prolonged heatwaves. The unusually warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean are contributing to higher humidity levels, exacerbating the heatwave’s intensity.

The impacts of such extreme heat are far-reaching and pose significant risks to vulnerable populations, including children, the elderly, and individuals with pre-existing health conditions. Certain occupations, living situations, and lack of access to cooling facilities can further exacerbate the dangers associated with excessive heat exposure.

In light of these risks, it is crucial to take proactive measures to protect vulnerable populations and ensure community resilience. From advocating for heat safety standards for outdoor workers to checking in on neighbors at risk, collective action is essential to mitigate the impacts of extreme heat events.

As we navigate through this challenging season, let’s remain vigilant, support one another, and prioritize public health and safety in the face of mounting climate threats.
