le sud des Etats-Unis suffoque sous une dangereuse vague de chaleur

Posted on July 15, 2023

Plusieurs dizaines de million d’Américains subissaient, vendredi 14 juillet, des températures dangereusement élevées. In the case, a strong de vague de chaleur allant de la California (Côte ouest) au Texas, et jusqu’à certains endroits de Floride (Côte est).

A dôme de chaleur sévit depuis le début de la semaine au-dessus des Etats désertiques du Sud-Ouest, entraînant de sérieux risques pour la santé des personnes âgées, des travailleurs du bâtiment, des livreurs, des sans-abri…

The dôme de chaleur is a meteorological phenomenon linked to the presence of a blocking anticyclone which persists at such an endroit, causing the stagnation of the chaud air masses. This high pressure zone also favors the descent of the air which, under the effect of compression, réchauffe l’atmosphère. As long as the piégée chaleur continues to rechauffer, the system shakes like a couvercle sur une casserole.

In Arizona, l’un des Etats les most affectés, la vie quotidienne resembles désormais à un marathon contre la chaleur. Phoenix, the state capital, recorded a fifth day of affiliated low temperatures of 43C, according to the US weather service, the NWS. Concerts Plusieurs on été annulés. This week on the social networks, some inhabitants ont post the photos of the grades in the train of fondr on the leur toit or the video montrant who arrive at the fair Sew an œuf sur des plaques d’égouts.

Authorities recommend avoiding outdoor activities during the day and monitoring for signs of dehydration, which can die quickly in these temperatures. I will tell « c’est le desert, bien sûr qu’il fait chaud » its t « a dangerous state of mind ! »the Las Vegas NWS insists after Tuesday on Twitter.

Pas de répit in perspective

« The most intense period » de cette vague de chaleur “started” ce weekend, ont have you les météorologues. In California, in the famous Vallée de la Mort, one of the endroits les plus chauds de la planete, the mercure pourrait avoisiner 54 °C on Sundays. E i météorologues ne prévoient pas encore de répit: les températures devraient rester anormalmente elevées la semaine prochaine dans le sud du pays.

Invisible, contrairement aux inondations et aux incendies, il chaleur est le phénomène météorologique le plus meurtrier aux Etats-Unis. Le probleme est pourtant régulièrement sous-estimé. Over the weekend, warmer temperatures claimed the lives of several migrants along the border with Mexico, the police aux frontières, the CBP, reported.

Last week, Maricopa County, Arizona’s largest population, released a report compiling 425 deaths from the heat in summer 2022, a 25% figure in the previous year’s report.

It is still difficult to attribute a particular meteorological event to climate change, more the scientific hammerings than the réchauffement of the planet, are due to the dependence of humanity on fossil energies, they are responsible for the multiplication and intensification of the vagues de heat in the world.

This vague de chaleur se produit alors que le monde a connu son mois de juin le plus chaud jamais enregistré, selon l’observatoire du changement climatique Copernicus.
