(July 15) -- It's getting hot out there.
Today the National Weather Service issued an extreme-heat warning for Ventura, Los Angeles and Orange counties in Southern California. The warning extends through Saturday, during which time temperatures are expected to top 100 degrees.
News of the latest heat wave to grip the United States comes on the same day that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association's National Climatic Data Center announced that January through June of this year was the globe's hottest six-month period ever recorded.
The earth's combined land and ocean surface temperature was 57.5 degrees Fahrenheit, NOAA said.
While Surge Desk has previously expounded on the difference between climate and weather, a Stanford University study released this week found that heat waves like the one in Southern California are expected to become more commonplace as a result of global warming.
"Using a large suite of climate model experiments," said the study's lead author, Noah Diffenbaugh, "we see a clear emergence of much more intense, hot conditions in the U.S. within the next three decades."
