It's time for Fantastic Friday. While the western US has experienced very beneficial rain and snow during the '22-'23 winter, the same cannot be said for many parts of Europe, where lake beds are drying and water resources are becoming concerning.

Lots of folks doing great work at the intersection of urban climate and health, within and outside of . An opportunity to expand upon that through the Harvard Global Health Institute. #Urbanclimate

It's Fantastic Friday. Today we focus on bridging the gap between models and observations. How do we know models are operating reasonably? We need to compare them with observations and for urban environments, such data is VERY limited. This is changing:

Climate, front and center in the EPL. It is this sort of awareness that is needed to raise awareness about urban sustainability. #Urbanclimate

Welcome to Fantastic Fridays, where we will feature recent urban-related news from around the world. Today, we look deeper into the world of urban biodiversity wherein we reimagine the built environment as a biodiversity hotspot.

California insinuates, implies (what other word would you use?), shutting off water for SW's biggest cities to before any disruption to the Golden State's agricultural sector. That is equivalent to removing water access to more than 25 million.

Cities are at the very forefront, indeed they are the very agents of change we seek. Reframing COP (27 and in the future) in this fashion is MUCH more likely to bring about desired outcomes. #Urbanclimate

The addition of permeable surfaces are an important element of the ongoing battle urbanites are waging to green-up the concrete jungles we refer to as cities. #UrbanClimate

Considerable rain fell over Maricopa County and Greater Phoenix-metro yesterday. The average October rainfall for Sky Harbor is 0.26". Yesterday's total was 0.62", bringing the monthly October total to 0.63"

Preliminary data are looking good for many places in Arizona, with up to 200% of average (to date) October precipitation. Sierra Vista is already at 2.63" for the month, well above the average. #azwx #rain #drought

Lesser known and lesser examined "compound events" (for example, extreme heat and drought occurring simultaneously) are a major concern, over both urban and non-urban environments alike. #Urbanclimate

Huge stretches of the Northern Hemisphere were parched by crippling droughts this summer. Scientists have now determined that climate change is making such severe dryness much more likely to occur. nyti.ms/3CM59FJ
