We’re Building Things Based on a Climate We No Longer Live In 2023-06-27T04:00:00Z Western Washington has seen less than 25% of its average precipitation over the past month, meaning the warm, dry and windy weather has heightened fire risk in the region. As smoke blankets the U.S., take some tips from WA to reduce exposure 2023-06-08T04:00:00Z Rob Schweitzer, executive director of BC Wildfire, said lightning strikes could spark more blazes in tinder-dry forests and the outcome would depend on how much precipitation comes with the storms. International help rolls in to fight unyielding Canadian wildfires 2023-06-08T04:00:00Z Most areas across Western Washington have had less than 25% of their average precipitation for the past month. Western WA fire conditions intensify as heat and dry weather continue 2023-06-06T04:00:00Z And it doesn’t look like any precipitation is headed that way to quell the fire. In early glimpse of wildfire season, more than 150 acres burning in Yakima County 2023-06-07T04:00:00Z And that’s why a new report by a leading climate research group calls the North Adams, Mass., station “the most extreme case” of what’s wrong with NOAA’s precipitation data and its disregard for climate change. We’re Building Things Based on a Climate We No Longer Live In 2023-06-27T04:00:00Z “So there is a relationship between the amount of smoke and the amount of precipitation.” How Long Will Wildfire Smoke Last, and Where Will It Spread? 2023-06-07T04:00:00Z It focuses more heavily on temperature than precipitation, finding that most people have thrived in mean annual temperatures of 55 degrees Fahrenheit.

Seattle forecast: Dry, mild weather continues after that balmy May 2023-06-01T04:00:00Z As a result, the projects are “unable to adequately protect against current and future flood risks from heavy precipitation events,” the report says. We’re Building Things Based on a Climate We No Longer Live In 2023-06-27T04:00:00Z In some parts of the state, the precipitation has also revived something that was thought to have been a thing of the past: green lawns. Can Californians Keep Their Lawns? 2023-06-01T04:00:00Z As the climate changes, winter precipitation is also becoming compressed into a shorter period "contributing to a lengthened fire season," the study said. Climate Change Is Escalating California’s Wildfires 2023-05-31T04:00:00Z Unseasonably high temperatures, low humidity, lack of precipitation and gusty winds mean fire conditions are expected to persist across much of Western Washington into Thursday. Western WA fire conditions intensify as heat and dry weather continue 2023-06-06T04:00:00Z "Due to climate change, there has also been short duration, high intensity precipitation, further accentuating risks of flooding in the city amidst limited infrastructure to contain the same," the report said. Climate change, strained infra worsen flood risk in India's Silicon Valley- report 2023-05-31T04:00:00Z “We’re designing infrastructure generally to the wrong standards for precipitation risk,” said Jeremy Porter, head of climate implications at the foundation. We’re Building Things Based on a Climate We No Longer Live In 2023-06-27T04:00:00Z “Because future precipitation is uncertain, we would recommend that Californians continue their conservation efforts and make it a way of life.” Can Californians Keep Their Lawns? 2023-06-01T04:00:00Z The research suggests similarly that large increases in the amount of precipitation falling as rain will bring heavier runoff during winter. Snowpack predicted to retreat in California's mountains due to climate change 2023-05-25T04:00:00Z Those pressures have sent water levels at key reservoirs along the river to unprecedented lows, though they have rebounded somewhat thanks to heavy precipitation and deep snowpack this winter.
