Tropical sea-surface temperature (SST) anomalies can help predict malaria outbreaks in Senegal 5 months ahead, suggests a paper in #JApplMeteorClimatol. Cool SSTs in the tropical Pacific lead to increased rain over Senegal, boosting mosquito populations.

Children and pets are more exposed to urban heat stress due to heat radiating from paved surfaces, a new study finds.

The #JApplMeteorClimatol study found wet bulb globe temperature in urban SC was higher closer to the ground, especially during severe heat.

Energy demand decreased for winter heating + increased for summer cooling in Beijing + Shanghai in 1961-2020. Summer demand is likely to outpace the winter demand reductions as global warming continues, according to a study in #JApplMeteorClimatol.
