Extreme heat in Manila with 38C braking a record which has stood for over 100 years., and persisting for several days. Add in humidity and effectively it's 46C

Of course, global warming is driven by energy consumption, so the first thing to do in a heat wave is to use more power in the form of air conditioning!

Surprised it did not break that record this year.  I also know Manila did reached 40C sometimes at some past years before.

I still follow temps in that part of the world.
I'm sure when I was there in 1998 in an El Nino there were similar temps. Manila in particular was hot.
What I've noticed this year is that people over there refer to heat index figures more than they used to.
The south west monsoon (Habagat) will begin soon and with it cooler, relatively speaking, temps.
The high humidity is the hard part to live in.

Always goes to show - keep your seatbelt fastened, especially during wet season. 

I have had some horrible turbulence over the Bay of Bengal and wider areas of SE Asia over the years. 

Latest maps show occasional CBs all the way up to 50,000 feet - must be very difficult for pilots to navigate through weather like that.

There was some epic hail and thunder from that, though, and of course it didn't last for long. By the time we were heading home (around 5PM) the sun was shining and you would never have known how dark it had been!

I do that flight most years as well Jiries, or at least down to Singapore and onto Australia, yes it is often pretty turbulent.

I think the point though is that it isn't the islands that cause it, as they really aren't big enough to create that level of turbulence.

It is more to do with flying over the ITCZ, so re-routing wouldn't make a difference. I have also flown direct to Bangkok and to Brazil, neither of which fly over the islands and it was just as bad once you got down into the ITCZ. The ITCZ obviously moves north and south though with the seasons so some years can be worse than others, depending on the time of year I fly.

Home insurance rates are sky high and some companies have even abandoned the Houston market entirely.

it’s one of the cities that will be most affected by climate change moving forward.

When you think about how much energy is required to heat water (v air) that’s an awful lot of energy.

Record high sea surface temperatures are partly to blame, as is a likely shift in regional weather patterns.
While there's no evidence climate change is producing more hurricanes, it is making the most powerful ones more likely, and bringing heavier rainfall.
"This [hurricane] season is looking to be an extraordinary one," NOAA administrator Rick Spinrad said in a news conference."

The old 1950s mnemonic ran:
"June - too soon.
July - stand by.
August - come it must.
September - remember!
October - all over."
Only now the season seems at least a month longer.

I all i see is HP kept reversing wrong way NW instead of east as it should be due to earth rotates and how it used to before moving east easily.

Hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. Experts predict an 85 percent chance of an above-normal season., linked to La Nina and unusually warm ocean temps

Today Nicosia reached 43.6c just 0.3 short to the June hottest record back in 1978 at 43.9C .  Tomorrow forecast going for 44C and slightly hotter before drop back to low 30's for June average.   

See what global warming is all about sending all places record broken except UK failed to get anything average to warm weather let alone June record never broken since 1976.  With global warming if was true for UK it would had already hit 38-39C this month.

45.0C in Athienou whlie Nicosia 43.5.  Still going on but record broken now to 45C at the moment.  Just shy of 5C left to 50C and might see that one day in my life time in Cyprus.
