With its cobblestone streets, Gothic spires, and Baroque architecture, Prague is a place where history and beauty intertwine at every turn. Known as the "City of a Hundred Spires," Prague is a treasure trove of cultural, historical, and architectural wonders. From the majestic Prague Castle to the charming Charles Bridge, the city offers a wealth of experiences that captivate visitors from around the world. This article delves into the city’s iconic landmarks, its temperate climate, and the must-see attractions that make Prague a timeless destination.<h3 style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*16px); font-weight: var(--ds-font-weight-strong); line-height: 1.5; margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*16px)0 calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">A Walk Through History: Prague’s Iconic Landmarks</h3><p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Prague’s history is etched into its stunning architecture, which spans centuries and styles. The Prague Castle, perched on a hill overlooking the city, is one of the most iconic landmarks in Prague. This sprawling complex, dating back to the 9th century, is the largest ancient castle in the world and has served as the seat of Czech kings, emperors, and presidents. The castle’s grounds are home to several notable buildings, including the stunning St. Vitus Cathedral, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture. The cathedral’s intricate stained glass windows, soaring spires, and the tomb of St. Wenceslas are a testament to the skill and artistry of its builders. The Golden Lane, a charming street within the castle complex, is lined with colorful houses that once housed castle guards and goldsmiths, and now host small museums and shops.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Another iconic landmark is the Charles Bridge, a historic stone bridge that spans the Vltava River. Built in the 14th century, the bridge is adorned with 30 statues of saints, each with its own story and significance. Walking across the Charles Bridge, with its panoramic views of the river and the city, is a quintessential Prague experience. The bridge is particularly enchanting at sunrise or sunset, when the soft light bathes the city in a golden glow.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">The Old Town Square, the heart of Prague’s historic center, is a must-visit for any traveler. The square is surrounded by beautiful buildings, including the Old Town Hall with its famous Astronomical Clock. The clock, installed in 1410, is one of the oldest functioning astronomical clocks in the world. Every hour, crowds gather to watch the clock’s animated figures come to life in a charming display. The square is also home to the Church of Our Lady before Týn, a Gothic masterpiece with its twin spires dominating the skyline.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">For those interested in more contemporary attractions, the Dancing House is a must-see. This modern building, designed by architects Frank Gehry and Vlado Milunić, stands out amidst Prague’s historic architecture with its unique, curvaceous design. The building’s nickname, "Fred and Ginger," comes from its resemblance to a pair of dancers. The rooftop bar offers stunning views of the city and the Vltava River.<h3 style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*16px); font-weight: var(--ds-font-weight-strong); line-height: 1.5; margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*16px)0 calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">The Climate of Prague: Four Seasons of Charm</h3><p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Prague enjoys a temperate climate, with four distinct seasons that each bring their own unique charm to the city. Spring, from March to May, is one of the most popular times to visit. The weather is mild and pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 10 to 20 degrees Celsius (50s to 60s Fahrenheit). The city’s parks and gardens, such as the Letná Park and the Vrtba Garden, come alive with blooming flowers, making it an ideal time for outdoor activities and sightseeing.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Summer in Prague, from June to August, is warm and sunny, with temperatures often reaching the mid-20s to low 30s Celsius (70s to 80s Fahrenheit). The long days and warm evenings make it a perfect time to explore the city’s outdoor attractions, such as the Vltava River cruises and the open-air markets. However, summer is also the peak tourist season, so popular attractions can be crowded.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Autumn, from September to November, is another delightful time to visit Prague. The weather is cool and crisp, with temperatures ranging from 10 to 20 degrees Celsius (50s to 60s Fahrenheit), and the city’s streets and parks are adorned with golden leaves. Autumn is also a great time to enjoy the city’s cultural events, such as the Prague Autumn International Music Festival.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Winter in Prague, from December to February, is cold but enchanting. Temperatures typically range from -5 to 5 degrees Celsius (20s to 40s Fahrenheit), and snow is common, adding a magical quality to the city’s historic landmarks. The holiday season is a wonderful time to visit Prague, with its Christmas markets, festive decorations, and cozy cafes offering hot mulled wine and traditional Czech pastries.<h3 style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*16px); font-weight: var(--ds-font-weight-strong); line-height: 1.5; margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*16px)0 calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Exploring Prague’s Hidden Gems</h3><p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">While Prague’s iconic landmarks are undoubtedly breathtaking, the city is also home to numerous hidden gems that offer a more intimate and authentic experience. The Vyšehrad Fortress, located on a hill overlooking the Vltava River, is a historic site that predates the Prague Castle. The fortress’s peaceful grounds, ancient ruins, and stunning views of the city make it a favorite among locals. The Vyšehrad Cemetery, the final resting place of many famous Czech figures, including composers Antonín Dvořák and Bedřich Smetana, is a serene and contemplative spot.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Another hidden treasure is the John Lennon Wall, a colorful and ever-changing mural dedicated to the memory of the Beatles’ singer. Located in the Malá Strana district, the wall is a symbol of peace and freedom and has become a popular spot for tourists and locals alike to leave their own messages and artwork.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">For a taste of Prague’s bohemian side, head to the neighborhood of Žižkov. Known for its vibrant nightlife, quirky bars, and eclectic atmosphere, Žižkov is a favorite among artists and students. The neighborhood’s iconic TV Tower, with its futuristic design and crawling baby sculptures, offers panoramic views of the city.<h3 style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*16px); font-weight: var(--ds-font-weight-strong); line-height: 1.5; margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*16px)0 calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">The Culinary Delights of Prague</h3><p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Prague is a paradise for food lovers, offering a culinary scene that is as diverse as its culture. Czech cuisine, with its hearty and comforting dishes, is a highlight of the city’s gastronomic offerings. Classic dishes such as svíčková (marinated beef with creamy sauce), goulash, and knedlíky (dumplings) are must-tries, as are the city’s famous street foods, such as trdelník (a sweet pastry) and klobása (sausage).<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">The city’s markets are a great place to sample local flavors. The Havelské Tržiště, located near the Old Town Square, is a bustling market filled with fresh produce, handmade crafts, and traditional Czech snacks. The aroma of roasted nuts, fresh bread, and mulled wine fills the air, creating an unforgettable experience.<p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Prague is also known for its beer culture. The Czech Republic is famous for its beer, and Prague is home to numerous breweries and beer halls. A visit to a traditional Czech pub, or hospoda, is a must for any beer enthusiast. The city’s beer gardens, such as the Letná Beer Garden, offer a relaxed and scenic setting to enjoy a cold pint.<h3 style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*16px); font-weight: var(--ds-font-weight-strong); line-height: 1.5; margin: calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*16px)0 calc(var(--ds-md-zoom)*12px)0;">Conclusion: A City That Captivates the Heart</h3><p style="color: #404040; font-family: Inter, system-ui, -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, &quot;Noto Sans&quot;, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Oxygen, &quot;Open Sans&quot;, sans-serif; font-size: 16.002px; line-height: var(--ds-md-line-height); margin-bottom: 0px !important;">Prague is a city that captivates the heart with its timeless beauty, rich history, and vibrant culture.

Across the sprawling landscapes from the heart of Madrid to the sparkling Mediterranean coast, the weather unfolded like a carefully choreographed dance, each region contributing its own distinct rhythm to the symphony of the day.In Madrid, the nation’s bustling capital, the early morning was crisp and clear. The dawn greeted the city with a cool 7°C (45°F), as gentle pastel hues crept across the sky and painted the historic avenues with a soft, ethereal glow. The quiet of the early hours was soon stirred by the city’s pulse as the temperature steadily climbed. By midday, Madrid experienced a mild warmth, reaching a high of about 13°C (55°F). Sunlight, though intermittently veiled by wisps of high cirrus clouds, danced on the facades of grand boulevards and the famed Plaza Mayor, infusing the urban landscape with a transient brilliance. As evening descended, the cooling air ushered in a serene twilight with temperatures dipping back to around 5°C (41°F), leaving behind a lingering sense of reflective calm.Traveling northeast to Barcelona, the Mediterranean charm was unmistakable. The city began its day with a gentle coolness of 9°C (48°F) under a canvas of soft gray clouds. Early morning light filtered through, casting shimmering reflections upon the modernist architecture that defines the city’s spirit. As the hours advanced, the skies cleared momentarily to reveal bursts of radiant sunlight, raising the mercury to a pleasant 15°C (59°F). Throughout the day, a light, refreshing drizzle intermittently graced the streets, softening the edges of reality with its delicate patter—a subtle reminder of the sea’s constant, nurturing presence. By late afternoon, as the drizzle faded, Barcelona settled into a comfortable embrace with temperatures cooling to about 10°C (50°F) as the city prepared for nightfall.Southward along the coast in Valencia, the atmosphere carried a unique blend of maritime freshness and urban vibrancy. The day began at a mild 10°C (50°F) in the early hours, with a soft mist hovering over the ancient streets and modern promenades alike. As the sun ascended, Valencia’s skies offered a patchwork display of scattered clouds that allowed intermittent bursts of sunshine to grace the city. This gentle warmth steadily pushed the temperature upward to around 16°C (61°F) by midday. The brief, playful flirtation between sunshine and a light, almost whispered rain created a scene where the air itself seemed to shimmer with possibility. As evening approached, a gentle cooling took over, with the temperature easing to about 11°C (52°F) while the sky maintained its serene, cloud-kissed demeanor.In Seville, the southern jewel of Spain, the weather unfolded with an especially inviting warmth that contrasted with the brisk chill found in the north. The day commenced in Seville at a comfortable 11°C (52°F), with the soft glow of dawn illuminating the intricate Moorish architecture that adorns the city. By midday, Seville basked in a gentle radiance as temperatures climbed to a delightful 18°C (64°F), casting long, dramatic shadows on ancient alleyways and sun-dappled plazas. Though the skies remained mostly clear, occasional, fleeting patches of cloud meandered by, promising brief, refreshing showers that mingled with the warmth in a quiet, almost poetic duet. As dusk arrived, the temperature gradually receded, settling near 12°C (54°F) under a sky that hinted at the arrival of a tranquil, starry night.Meanwhile, in the cooler north of Spain, Bilbao presented a contrasting, yet equally captivating, meteorological narrative. Here, the day began beneath a thick cloak of rolling gray clouds and persistent light rain. Early morning in Bilbao was marked by a cool 8°C (46°F), the constant drizzle merging with the rugged coastal ambiance to create a landscape rich in reflective puddles and misty vistas. By midday, the temperature in Bilbao modestly ascended to around 12°C (54°F), though the steady rain continued to lend a reflective, almost cinematic quality to the urban streets. The ceaseless murmur of raindrops, accompanied by the distant echo of waves from the nearby Atlantic, provided a soothing counterpoint to the brisk, cool air. As evening settled, the rain persisted intermittently, with temperatures gradually falling to about 7°C (45°F), reinforcing the city’s identity as a land where nature’s moods are expressed with profound intensity.Further inland, in Zaragoza, the day told a story of urban resilience and evolving weather. Zaragoza awoke to a cool 6°C (43°F), with the early morning sky draped in a subtle overcast. As the day advanced, intermittent bursts of sunlight broke through, allowing the temperature to rise to around 14°C (57°F) by noon. The interplay of light and shadow over Zaragoza’s historic landmarks—its Roman roots and modern vibrancy coexisting side by side—captured the essence of a city where history and nature meet. Although intermittent clouds continued to hover throughout the day, they did little to obscure the emerging promise of clarity. As twilight deepened, the mercury gradually dipped to a gentle 8°C (46°F), heralding the quiet onset of night.Along the sun-kissed shores of Malaga, the weather provided a gentle departure from the cooler inland conditions. Malaga’s morning began with a mild 12°C (54°F), where the coastal breeze carried the scent of the Mediterranean. As the day unfolded, generous bursts of sunshine illuminated the city, driving the temperature upward to a welcoming 17°C (63°F). Here, the sky was a harmonious blend of radiant blue interspersed with a few drifting clouds. A brief, almost imperceptible shower in the late afternoon added a cool counterpoint to the warming day, as if the sea itself wished to whisper a secret farewell before the night.

Her dwelling, a humble stone cottage nestled amidst the whispering willows, was a sanctuary of herbal remedies and forgotten lore. She possessed a profound kinship with the land, understanding its subtle shifts and changes, especially the unpredictable nature of the weather.As the autumn equinox approached, a strange disquiet settled over the valley. The usual patterns of the seasons were disrupted; the leaves fell with an unnatural haste, and the winds carried a haunting melody. Elara, her gaze fixed on the turbulent skies, felt a deep resonance with the land’s distress, a sense that an ancient imbalance was stirring.She consulted her codex, searching for clues in the faded ink and timeworn parchment. She discovered tales of a forgotten ritual, a ceremony performed during the equinox to maintain the delicate balance between the seen and unseen realms. A mischievous entity, known as the Shadow Collector, threatened to disrupt this balance, stealing the valley’s memories and leaving behind a void.Elara knew that she had to act, to protect her home from the encroaching darkness. She ventured into the labyrinthine caves beneath the ancient barrows, seeking the source of the disturbance. The caves, a network of winding tunnels and hidden chambers, were a palimpsest of forgotten stories, their walls adorned with layers of ancient symbols.Deep within the caves, she found a hidden chamber, its air thick with a chilling mist. In the center of the chamber, she discovered a mirror, its surface shimmering with an unnatural luminescence. The mirror, she realized, was the source of the disturbance, a conduit through which the Shadow Collector was stealing the valley’s memories.Elara knew that she had to create a counter-reflection, a remedy to counteract the Shadow Collector's influence. She gathered rare herbs and crystals, their luminescence a beacon in the darkness. She combined these ingredients with her knowledge of ancient rituals, creating a potent salve, a symbol of the valley’s enduring memories.As the equinox reached its peak, the Shadow Collector attempted to steal Elara’s memories, attempting to trap her within the mirror. Elara, her resolve unwavering, smeared the salve onto the mirror's surface, its light erupting in a dazzling display, shattering the dark reflection.From the shattered mirror, fragments of memories emerged, swirling through the chamber like shimmering dust. They were the valley’s lost stories, returning to their rightful place. The Shadow Collector’s influence was ephemeral, a fleeting shadow that had been banished by the enduring light of memory.The chilling mist dissipated, replaced by a warm, golden glow. The mirror, cleansed of its dark influence, reflected the valley’s beauty with renewed clarity.Elara emerged from the caves, her heart filled with peace. She knew that the valley was safe, its memories protected by her courage and her wisdom. The villagers understood the importance of remembering, and the powerful bond they shared. The ever changing weather, was always a constant reminder of the passing of time, and the importance of remembering. Elara added the events of the equinox to her codex, a testament to the enduring spirit of her people, and the preservation of their memories.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://27-weather.blogspot.com/feeds/4199223128262251144/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://27-weather.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-apothecarys-equinox-palimpsest-of.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/7073505320795545825/posts/default/4199223128262251144'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/7073505320795545825/posts/default/4199223128262251144'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://27-weather.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-apothecarys-equinox-palimpsest-of.html' title='The Apothecary's Equinox: A Palimpsest of Weathered Kinship'/><author><name>radio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08078943990639274377</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073505320795545825.post-1408417069365061772</id><published>2022-09-03T09:29:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2022-09-03T09:29:12.288-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Deadly floods are wreaking global havoc</title><content type='html'>&nbsp;In Pakistan, where almost half a million people live in relief camps, the rain killed more than 1,000 people. Massive flooding swept through Mississippi last week, leaving about 150,000 residents of the capital, Jackson, without reliable access to safe drinking water. Rain recently lashed Seoul subway stations, turning streets into rivers in one of the worst storms in more than a century. In recent weeks, the world has been hit by a series of deadly floods that have destroyed homes, flooded farmland, engulfed mining operations and caused economic damage. In Pakistan alone, officials estimated the damage at more than $10 billion, a level that forced the country to seek a $1.1 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund to avert a looming crisis. The country is now facing a food crisis as agricultural land is under water. It rained in India, in the south of the United States and Great Britain. Ironically, the floods occur at a time when planet Earth is also suffering from drought and declining rivers. Although it defies logic, atmospheric dynamics combined with large-scale heat waves and droughts make floods possible. This is not an unknown disturbance, but rather an accelerated effect of climate change. "As the air and oceans warm under a thick layer of greenhouse gases, more water vapor evaporates into the air, providing more moisture for thunderstorms, hurricanes, nor'easters and monsoons," said Jennifer Francis, senior scientist at Woodwell Climate. Research Center in Falmouth, Massachusetts. "Rains and frequent floods are clear signs of the climate crisis," he said. Drought and flood are related. This is because when moisture in the air is removed from one area, it is dumped elsewhere. There is also a persistent La Niña, which contributes to floods and droughts around the world. This phenomenon, which occurs when the tropical Pacific Ocean cools, disrupts weather patterns around the world. It could bring heavy rains to Indonesia, flooding oil palm plantations, drying out the southern United States and California, and affecting cotton and grape crops. Climate change is the biggest driver. Daniel Swain, a climate scientist at the University of California, Los Angeles, said that rising temperatures on Earth mean that a warmer atmosphere can hold more water vapor. Every 1°C increases efficiency by about 7%. According to the US National Center for Environmental Information, the period from January to July 2022 marked the sixth warmest start to a calendar year worldwide in 143 years. "This ceiling increases the amount of extreme precipitation," Swain said. "This same process reinforces the tendency of the atmosphere to act like a giant sponge and pull excess water from the Earth's surface," Swain said. "This is known less than the effects of heavy rainfall, but it is still very important: most of the soil drying on climate change, the impact of global warming on drought and the intensity of fire." Get China Sichuan Province. A few weeks ago, the territory was in historical drought, which led to the disruption of electricity and business for companies, including Toyota Motor Corp. Now the most densely populated southwestern province of the country is flooded. More than 119,000 people were evacuated and authorities asked more than 300 mines, including 60 coal plants, to evacuate workers as a precaution. In places like Colorado, where the capital Denver just experienced daily rain, it did not change the deep impact of a prolonged drought in the American West. But it can be enough to cause flash floods, cancel flights and put homes, property and lives at risk. In New Mexico, about 200 people were stranded for several hours in a national park during recent rains. Elsewhere, particularly parts of Australia, there are greater changes in flood patterns. At the beginning of 2022, continuous storms caused large-scale flooding in the southeastern part of the continent. With a three-month forecast, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology is predicting further flooding. The risk of flooding remains high in eastern Australia despite wet ground, high rivers and full dams and average spring rainfall, the bureau said in a statement. In Pakistan, the extra moisture in the atmosphere intensified the annual monsoon. That, along with the rapid melting of glaciers in the region, "made the flooding worse," said Francis of the Woodwell Center for Climate Research. "Add to that infrastructure and homes going into flood plains and you have a recipe for disaster, flooding," he said. Much of Pakistan's rice and vegetable crops were destroyed. Wheat planting, which begins in October, is under threat at a time when the world cannot afford another grain supply disruption. Even before the flood, there was a shortage of wheat in the land. Of course, floods have affected civilization since its inception. Since 1980, 36 major floods in the United States have caused $173.7 billion in damage, according to the National Center for Environmental Information. But now the excesses became more frequent and stronger. "If we don't address the underlying disease -- the thick blanket of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels and deforestation -- these types of events will happen more often," Francis said. Floods "become stronger, last longer and generally affect areas that are immune to them."&nbsp;Read more: https://www.bangordailynews.com/2022/09/03/news/world-news/deadly-global-floods/ </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://27-weather.blogspot.com/feeds/1408417069365061772/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://27-weather.blogspot.com/2022/09/deadly-floods-are-wreaking-global-havoc.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/7073505320795545825/posts/default/1408417069365061772'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/7073505320795545825/posts/default/1408417069365061772'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://27-weather.blogspot.com/2022/09/deadly-floods-are-wreaking-global-havoc.html' title='Deadly floods are wreaking global havoc'/><author><name>radio</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/08078943990639274377</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
