Un 🧵 in 16 parti che cerca di mostrare la drammaticità della situazione glaciale alpina in questa ennesima estate torrida #tropicoalpino #Heatwave2022 #glaciermelt #ghiacciai (1/16)

Nel 2018 il limite delle nevicate di fine estate (18 settembre) era in media a 3150 m. A metà luglio 2021 era posto a 2800 m. La stessa quota è stata già toccata quest’anno un mese prima, a metà giugno, per poi salire fino a 3050 m 5 giorni fa. (3/16)

1. *Thick walls* — these absorb the sun's energy relatively slowly, so even though the outer face might warm up, it remains cool on the inside. And at night, when the temperature drops, the heat that the wall has absorbed radiates back into the cooler air.
2. *Small windows* relative to the size of the building — which limit solar gain.

Gli scenari climatici CH2018, con orizzonte temporale al 2060, prevedono per la 🇨🇭 4 principali effetti: inverni con ➖ neve, ➕ precipitazioni estreme, ➕ periodi siccitosi soprattutto in estate, ondate di calore ➕ frequenti, durature e intense. bit.ly/2PuIer9 (2/13)

Heatwaves can worsen the side effects of some medications used in mental health conditions – and increase the risk of heat-related harm.
In some cases, extreme heat can lead to a moderate reduction in the effectiveness of some medications.
