Climate-Related Disasters

I guess it was too much to ask.I'll soldier on though.Here's Puerto Rico today.
People will die because of the high heat, high humidity, and the incomplete recovery from past hurricanes.The heat is caused in part because of a wavy jet stream and a sub-tropical stream that usually asserts itself only during the winter.The wavy jet stream is likely caused by decreasing differences in temps between the tropics and the arctic.
It's one of the things we've seen over the past few years that really jack with our ability to make wildland fire forecasts as accurately as we have in the past.All that (and more) combines to pull Saharan dust and hot air across the Atlantic and trap it over Puerto Rico.It's enhanced by the warmer ocean waters and the energy released by a developing El Nino.
All that creates a dire global outlook for the near term and of course, a bad day and likely week for Puerto Rico.
