A 2011 study projected that the frequency and magnitude of both maximum and minimum temperatures would increase significantly as a result of global warming. [13] According to the Fifth National Climate Assessment published in 2023, coastal states including California, Florida, Louisiana, and Texas are experiencing "more significant storms and extreme swings in precipitation".
The wet-bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that may be achieved by evaporative cooling of a water-wetted, ventilated surface.. By contrast, the dew point is the temperature to which the ambient air must be cooled to reach 100% relative humidity assuming there is no further evaporation into the air; it is the temperature where condensation (dew) and clouds would form.
The heat index ( HI) is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity, in shaded areas, to posit a human-perceived equivalent temperature, as how hot it would feel if the humidity were some other value in the shade. For example, when the temperature is 32 °C (90 °F) with 70% relative humidity, the heat index is 41 °C (106 °F ...
According to the American Kennel Club, a dog can experience heat stroke, also called hyperthermia, if its internal body temperature exceeds 105 degrees. The animal’s normal temperature is ...
The wet-bulb globe temperature ( WBGT) is a measure of environmental heat as it affects humans. Unlike a simple temperature measurement, WBGT accounts for all four major environmental heat factors: air temperature, humidity, radiant heat (from sunlight or sources such as furnaces), and air movement (wind or ventilation).

NOAA predicts California's summer temperatures will be 33% to 50% above average. (Luis Sinco / Los Angeles Times) Californians can expect hotter-than-average temperatures this summer.
An estimated 700,000 pool heaters in Southern California will have to switch to electric from gas under the South Coast AQMD's new rule. ... and high-temperature units in 2029. Gas-fired water ...
There are 117 local district heating systems supplying towns as well as rural areas with hot water – reaching almost all of the population. The average price is around US$0.027 per kWh of hot water. [93] The Reykjavík Capital Area district heating system serves around 230,000 residents had an maximum thermal power output of 830 MW.
