Atmospheric thermodynamics

The weather seems to have gone mad, as while almost all over the country yesterday the mercury had “hit red” with several areas seeing 40s, in Ioannina within two hours the temperature dropped 16ᵒC and the humidity reached 99%, while the storm that hit the area knocked down trees and columns.

As temperatures and humidity soar outside, what's happening inside the human body can become a life-or-death battle decided by just a few degrees.

The critical danger point outdoors for illness and death from relentless heat is several degrees lower than experts once thought, say researchers who put people in hot boxes to see what happens to them.

He initially announced a significant drop in temperature for Christmas, which will be preceded by real spring days, when the temperature will reach 17 degrees.

Needless to say, all of the VT-Naut’s electronics are coated for protection against humidity and salt water, plus each component sits in its own sealed compartment

Scientists have identified the maximum mix of heat and humidity a human body can survive.

Even a healthy young person will die after enduring six hours of 35-degree Celsius (95 Fahrenheit) warmth when coupled with 100 percent humidity, but new research shows that threshold could be significantly lower.

With the risk of drought, insufficient snowfall and temperatures rising above seasonal norms, marine life in the Black Sea has been adversely affected, and the number of fish has decreased, warns an expert.

Geological Engineer Prof. Dr. Osman Bektaş stated that global climate change has started to drag the Black Sea to death.

Türkiye's most populous province Istanbul was hit by downpours caused by a weather phenomenon named "atmospheric instability," with around 65 lightnings flashing in a minute between late on July 10 and early July 11.

"There is no danger of stopping the hot water in Sofia in the summer due to the suspended gas supplies by Gazprom. No regime will be introduced. However, it is possible to reduce the water temperature." This was stated to bTV by the member of the Supervisory Board of "Toplofikacia" (District Heating) Sofia Valentin Terziiski.

Atmospheric pressure is slightly higher than the average for the month and during the day will remain almost unchanged. Today will be sunny, in the afternoon over the western regions with scattered high clouds, which by the evening will cover the whole country. A weak, moderate south-southwest wind will blow in Eastern Bulgaria.

Today from the west the clouds will break and decrease, at the latest over the eastern regions. This was announced for FOCUS News Agency by the weather forecaster on duty at the National Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (NIMH) Martin Slavchev.
