Temperatures will climb well past 100 F in parts of California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Teaxas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona with the worst days of heat likely from Saturday to Monday. <br /><br />Residential building in Milan partially collapses after explosion; three dead and nine injured <br />https://www.sott.net/article/320127-Residential-building-in-Milan-partially-collapses-after-explosion-three-dead-and-nine-injured<br /><br />[jes' livin' gettin' hard ta do!]<br /><br />Sinkhole swallows 3 cars in Phnom Penh, Cambodia <br />https://www.sott.net/article/320113-Sinkhole-swallows-3-cars-in-Phnom-Penh-Cambodia<br /><br />Large sinkhole swallows road in Mason City, Iowa <br />https://www.sott.net/article/320110-Large-sinkhole-swallows-road-in-Mason-City-Iowa<br /><br />Lightning strikes kill another 6 in Bangladesh; 14 deaths in 2 days <br />https://www.sott.net/article/320109-Lightning-strikes-kill-another-6-in-Bangladesh-14-deaths-in-2-days<br /><br />Lightning bolt kills two in Nepal <br />https://www.sott.net/article/320107-Lightning-bolt-kills-two-in-Nepal<br /><br />International Space Station captures rare high-altitude noctilucent clouds <br />https://www.sott.net/article/320108-International-Space-Station-captures-rare-high-altitude-noctilucent-clouds<br /><br />May Marks 8th Consecutive Record Hot Month in NASA’s Global Temperature Measure<br />https://robertscribbler.com/2016/06/13/may-marks-8th-consecutive-record-hot-month-in-nasas-global-temperature-measure/<br /><br />According to NASA, the world has just experienced another record hot month.<br /><br />May of 2016 was the warmest May since record keeping began for NASA 136 years ago. It is now the 8th record hot month in row. In other words, since October, every month has been the hottest such month ever recorded (October vs October comparison, November vs November etc). And May’s record is just the most recent high mark during a period that has now vastly exceeded all previous measures for global temperature tracking.<br /><br />The month itself was 0.93 C above NASA’s 1951-1980 baseline measure. It’s the first month since October that readings fell below the 1 C anomaly mark. A range that before 2015 had never before been breached in the 136 year climate record and likely during all of the approximate 12,000 year period that marks the Holocene geological epoch.<br /><br />It’s a reading that is fully 1.15 C above 1880s averages. A very warm measure in its own right but one that is thankfully somewhat removed from the 1.55 C monthly peak back during February of 2016. To this point, it’s worth noting that hitting 1.5 C above 1880s temps in the annual measure is the first major temperature break that scientists consider to be seriously threatening to human civilization and the life support systems of planet Earth. And we’re getting close to that mark now. However, considering the fact that El Nino is now transitioning toward La Nina, it appears that 2016 averages may peak closer to 1.2 C.
