| June is a funny month seeing anything from snow to thunderstorms to heatwaves. |
|
| Floods, storms, heatwaves and droughts have created headlines in the UK over recent years. |
|
| Hurricanes, floods, drought, freezing conditions and heatwaves all take their toll annually in varying numbers. |
|
| World temperatures are continuing to rise and extreme weather conditions, such as droughts, floods and heatwaves, are becoming alarmingly common. |
|
| The boast came even as summer heatwaves in neighbouring eastern provinces put severe strain on already over-stretched power resources. |
|
| On the down side, I have proved to myself that citrus really do need to be nursed through heatwaves. |
|
| In the same way, we cannot say which of the heatwaves were man-made and which were natural, but we can apportion blame for the change in risk. |
|
| Such heatwaves can lead to heat exhaustion, and even death, particularly among the very young or old. |
|
| Memories of previous heatwaves at exam time were washed away with the unseasonably heavy rain which has hit the country for most of June. |
|
| Several tens of thousands of European citizens have died in urban heatwaves, and alleviating these also requires water. |
|
| A large number of studies show that urban populations in the USA and Europe have successfully adapted to recurrent extreme weather events and heatwaves. |
|
| In Europe, and especially northern Europe, where deadly heatwaves have been a rarity, it may get significantly worse. |
|
| In particular, there is likely to be a reduction in water for southern and eastern Australia, with more fires and heatwaves, fewer frosts, less snow and more coral bleaching. |
|
| A year after the event, the health minister resigned and the government announced that in future heatwaves, everybody should go to the movies because they're air-conditioned. |
|
| You are already missing this summer's numerous heatwaves or need just the right music to accompany your weekend of making preserves? |
|
| What must I do to reduce risks for the assisted person during possible heatwaves? |
|
| Extreme weather events, floods, droughts, and heatwaves are more frequent. |
|
| Global warming also increases the incidence of such heatwaves and makes them more intense and long-lasting. |
|
| The incidence of major weather events like hurricanes or heatwaves is statistically rising. |
|
| We have already had experience of heatwaves and the heavy toll of human life that results from them in different Member States. |
|
|
|
| The basic treatment for heatwaves is simple: more water, green roofs and facades, fresh water and natural cooling systems, reducing car traffic. |
|
| During heatwaves, beef cattle do not grow as fast or as efficiently. |
|
| Further south, the temperatures can change from cool winters with mountain snow, to heatwaves in summer. |
|
| But climate change scenarios predict that heatwaves will become more intense, more frequent and longer. |
|
| Many regions of the continent already have to grapple with droughts, heatwaves and irregular rainy seasons that make it almost impossible to grow anything in the fields. |
|
| But experts say compiling casualty statistics for heatwaves is extremely difficult owing to difficulties in attributing cause of death and registering fatalities in remote areas. |
|
| And since pollutions, floods and heatwaves will become more numerous and intense, demands for state action will inevitably increase, thereby deepening the crisis. |
|
| If it invests in energy saving, it will not just save itself great sums in future as costs inevitably rise, it will help to avoid a catastrophe as diseases spread further and droughts, floods and heatwaves increase. |
|
| This will mean more droughts and intense heatwaves, more tropical storms and hurricanes, and sea level rising by half a metre, which in itself is quite phenomenal. |
|
| Projections for the Ottawa-Gatineau region suggest increased climate variability as well as more precipitation, heatwaves and freezing rain events. |
|
| Adaptation means taking action to cope with changing climatic conditions, for example by using scarce water resources more efficiently or ensuring the frail and elderly are properly cared for during heatwaves. |
|
| Serious impact on global economies due to food and water shortages, heatwaves and losses of coastal land, potentially leading to mass migration and destabilizing conflict. |
|
| We have also witnessed more heatwaves and more intense hurricanes. |
|
| Meteorologists are unanimous: we can expect more heatwaves. |
|
| Generally the weather pattern is quite unsettled and erratic during these months, with only occasional heatwaves. |
|
| Two years ago there was a decent blast of sunshine but genuine heatwaves have been in short supply. |
|
| A look at the profile of the victims of heatwaves shows that an overwhelming majority are elderly people in the age group of 60 to 70 and above. |
|
| Intense marine heatwaves have destroyed some 400-year-old ancient corals off the Pilbara coastline of Western Australia. |
|
| The cause was the same stable, high pressure blocking system which had caused previous heatwaves, bringing hot air from central Asia. |
|
| There were increasing heatwaves and drought problems in the summer of 1988, and when Hansen testified in the Senate on 23 June he sparked worldwide interest. |
|
|
|
| Heatwaves are deadly, especially for urban populations surrounded by concrete and bitumen. |
