Spoke with @wowt6news.bsky.social here in Omaha how climate change-fueled permafrost thaw and glacial melt contributed to the Nepalese floods. www.wowt.com/2026/09/10/n...

We recently published an update to our 2023 PNAS study looking at exposure to uncompensable heat stress in warmer worlds. By using age-stratified limits rather than a single one, exposure goes way up mainly in the elderly cohort. @thelancetplanet.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

This is what happens when you make decisions based on numbers in a spreadsheet while ignoring anyone or anything that could provide any context to them. www.dailynebraskan.com/news/adminis...

Ankle surgery #2: ✅. Had the procedure that Tua got when he massively messed up his ankle at Bama so at least I’ll likely be able to become an NFL starting quarterback once I’m all healed up.

It’s Fall Break so obviously I’ll just work at home! Monty: It’s finally getting cold and I have other ideas.

Long time, no talk. Two and a half weeks of a broken ankle down. Still better than the last three weeks of Penn State football.

Earth and Atmospheric Sciences program is on the chopping block as a result of budget shortages at UNL. Sad day if the proposed plan comes to fruition.

Based on daily average temperature, we are now on the downswing towards cooler temps in Omaha based on the 1991-2020 climate normal. We reached our peak of 78.4F over the last week and started dropping today. Maximum daily temperatures descended from their average annual peak (88.4F) on Monday.

It's Ragbrai week in Iowa and it's taking place right as extreme heat is building into the Midwest. Riders are going to have to be extremely careful mid-week when @nws.noaa.gov HeatRisk will be "Major" over most of north-central Iowa, especially during Tues/Wed's 70+ mile routes. #iawx

Omaha only got down to 82F this morning which will in all likelihood break the max. minimum temperature record for this date (79 set in 2013). #omawx #newx

NWS Omaha forecast now has maximum temps at or above 101F for Fri-Sun period. We would have to go even further back in the record books to 1934 for the last time we experienced that kind of heat for 3 straight days in June in Omaha.

EDIT: first time with three STRAIGHT days of temps >=100F in Omaha in June since 1988, though as @windbarb.bsky.social notes, using the Omaha threaded climatological site pushes that date back to 1952. bsky.app/profile/wind...

Omaha has forecasted highs at or above 100 for Fri/Sat/Sun, just in time for the CWS finals 😬🥵. If this verifies, it will be the first time since 1988 that the city experienced at least 3 days >=100F in the month of June when there were 4 days of 100+ heat. (via KOMA data on ACIS)

12 miles in Vienna. Bike paths as far as the eye can see and as many as a person can count. A dream.
