The climate crisis has a gender
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/equal-bytes/the-climate-crisis-has-a-gender/
The #UN estimates that 80% of people displaced by #ClimateChange are #women and #girls. That number isn’t random, it’s the brutal result of existing #gender #inequalities colliding with ecological catastrophe. From Bangladesh’s coastal villages to drought-stricken Kenya, it is women who hold communities together while the ground literally disappears beneath them.
When disaster strikes, women don’t just flee – they carry everyone
When a climate disaster hits, the checklist begins: save the children, the elderly, the disabled. Secure water, food, and shelter. These responsibilities almost always fall on women.
In displacement camps or makeshift shelters, women are the ones who carry the young, feed the family last, and sleep light for safety. During the 2004 Indian Ocean #tsunami and the 1991 #Bangladesh #cyclone, far more women than men died, not because they were weaker, but because boys had been taught to swim and climb trees, because women stayed behind to help others, or because they weren’t allowed to evacuate without male permission.
The world calls it disaster management. For women, it’s survival choreography, without a safety net.
"The environmental conditions are nearly ideal for intensification
with the vertical wind shear expected to be less than 10 kt,
mid-level humidities near or above 80 percent, and SSTs over 29
C for the next 2 or 3 days. Nearly all of the models show the
system strengthening significantly, and given the conducive
conditions, rapid intensification is a possibility. The NHC
intensity forecast lies near the consensus models and shows the
cyclone becoming a tropical storm by early Tuesday and a hurricane
before it reaches Mexico."
Hey there Dalila, what it's like in the Eastern Pacific?

When the sea moves inland: A global climate wake-up call from Bangladesh's Delta
As sea levels climb and #weather grows more extreme, coastal regions everywhere are facing a creeping threat: salt. #Salinization of #freshwater and #soils adversely affects 500 million people around the world, especially in low-lying #river #deltas.
The western parts of the delta, already more prone to tidal influence, showed the fastest increases in salinity. The data suggests that the combination of #SeaLevelRise, reduced freshwater flow, and increasingly frequent storm surges are all contributing to the inland movement and retention of saltwater.
Since about 2007, many parts of the delta have experienced stepwise increases in salinity, often linked to powerful storms like #Cyclone #Sidr. These changes can devastate crops, erode #FoodSecurity, and force communities to move. While the analysis focused primarily on environmental data, it underscores how salinity intrusion is increasingly a threat to livelihoods, public #health, and regional stability.

Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred sparks call to cyclone-proof homes as far south as northern NSW
"The research is really clear that cyclones and severe weather events are coming south along the Queensland and Australian coastline, and that our severe weather events will become more severe... Professor Steve Turton, a climate change expert with Central Queensland University, said homes and buildings outside traditional cyclone zones should now be subject to cyclone ratings, including in south-east Queensland and even northern New South Wales. I would suggest it needs to go down to at least Coffs Harbour." >>

I wrote a script to download all the Annual Tropical Cyclone Reports and Best Track Data Archives from the #JTWC website. I am keeping all that public data somewhere safe.
Just in case something should happen to all that data at some point in the future.
Just in case.
“The pair have a nine-month-old daughter and a three-year-old son – having a reliable way to #sterilise bottles and #BoilWater for formula was critical.
They knew the battery from their white #BYD Atto 3 could power their home using the vehicle-to-load system (#V2L) – a backup power system that allows the car #battery to power #appliances – but neither had actually hooked it up. They wondered how much it could handle.”
