The higher the wet-bulb temperature, the more humid it feels and the harder it becomes to evaporate sweat—yes, that sounds a bit disgusting, but it’s a life-saving mechanism our body relies on to maintain a proper core temperature.
A temperature of 33 °C with a wet-bulb temperature of 24 °C means it will be very muggy, which will increases the risk of heat stress tomorrow.
Have you ever been asked to peer review a paper and found yourself thinking, “What exactly am I looking for?”You’re not alone. Recently, while working through another review, I started wondering whether I had developed my own internal process — or if this was what everyone does. I also started digging through editorial guidelines, andContinueContinue reading “Peer Reviewing Without the Guesswork: A Practical Protocol for Climate Science”
Climate scientists used to say you couldn’t link individual weather events to climate change. Today, it’s not only possible — it’s essential. This article tells the story of how extreme weather attribution became one of the most important tools in climate science. Read the full article
I’m excited to share that I’ve started adding more content to this website, bit by bit. The very first topic I’ve put up is a short explainer about Extreme Weather — what it means in meteorology and how an extreme event is defined. If you’re curious about the science behind these powerful weather events andContinueContinue reading “Climate Science – Extreme Weather Page Now Online”
