Heatwave: A Synoptic Breakdown Of The Extraordinary Heatwave On The Pacific Coast Of The US And Canada in June 2021
Event Start:
2021-07-29T16:00:00
Event End:

Event Information:
In late June 2021, the Pacific Northwest experienced extraordinarily high temperatures. British Columbia alone recorded over 60 record high temperatures, with the town of Lytton setting an all-time high temperature in Canada for three consecutive days, peaking at 49.6 C (121.3 F). During this talk, we will explore the meteorological conditions that led to these extreme temperatures—analyzing the upper air dynamics, mid-level thermal anomalies, and terrain effects during the event. We will also delve into the societal and environmental impacts regionally.
