The transition from summer to fall means declining temperatures in most parts of the country. In Southern California, where we've experienced a cooler than average summer, we can also anticipate temperatures to drop. But the threat of heat is not over yet – Autumn brings the start of the Santa Ana Wind season, which can initiate hot, dry, fire-causing weather, so it's important to remain prepared for heat impacts.
The start of the fall season also means it's time for a new edition of the SoCal Extreme Heat Research Hub newsletter!
Over the past 3 months, Hub scientists have continued their ongoing research into the dynamics of extreme heat and its impacts. Education and outreach efforts –several of them highlighted below– have continued to be a strong point for the Hub, with additional exciting events and activities planned for the next quarter.
Read on to see what our team members have been working on this summer, and find out more on the SoCal Heat Hub blog, where you can find detailed summaries of all of our news items.
