[28] 42% of its severity is due to temperature rise as a result of climate change. 88% of the area was drought-stricken. The flow of the Colorado river supplying water to seven states had "[shrunk] to the lowest two-year average in more than a century of record keeping". If the temperature rise will continue the drought will become worse. [29]

In Southern California, the temperature differences are approximately 4 °F in winter and 23 °F (2 °C and 13 °C) in summer. At the coast in Santa Monica , the average high in August is 75 °F (24 °C), while in Burbank , approximately 10 miles (16 km) inland, the average high in August is 95 °F (35 °C): a temperature gain of about two ...
The IPCC AR5 concludes that tropospheric water vapor has increased by 3.5% over the last 40 years, which is consistent with the observed temperature increase of 0.5 °C. [12] The human influence on the water cycle can be observed by analyzing the ocean's surface salinity and the "precipitation minus evaporation (P–E)" patterns over the ocean.
We need to be ready for any eventuality, from unprecedented drought to epic floods, and we need to be ready to pivot on a dime.
The reason that the North American monsoon does not reach coastal California is the presence of the North Pacific High, which is a part of the subtropical ridge that typically sits northeast of ...
Fish are able to adjust only gradually to changes in water temperature and quality. Tropical fish sold at pet stores are often kept in acclimatization bags until this process is complete. [ 15 ] Lowe & Vance (1995) were able to show that lizards acclimated to warm temperatures could maintain a higher running speed at warmer temperatures than ...
