‘Wet bulb’ warning as ‘dangerous and record-breaking heat’ to hit millions in US this week

Romans 10:14 “But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?”

Matthew 9:37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.

Luke 10:2 He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.

… And great earthquakes shall be in diverse places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven. (Luke 21:11).

… Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken; (Luke 21:26)

Matthew 24:21 For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.

‘Wet bulb’ warning as ‘dangerous and record-breaking heat’ to hit millions in US this week

Over 30 million people are under heat advisories or warnings as extremely high temperatures continue their spread over the southern and central US this week.

The National Weather Service says that heat this week will be “well-above normal”, with the potential to break local records. Temperatures around 110 degrees Fahrenheit (43 degrees Celsius) are possible near Dallas, Texas on Monday — with highs above 100F (38C) stretching all the way north into Montana.

That heat will linger through the week across the southern Plains.

This heatwave in the US comes as much of Europe is experiencing devastating and record-breaking heat — and the planet is facing a climate crisis that makes extreme heat more and more likely.

Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas will be hit especially hard this week, with high temperatures regularly well above 100F (38C). Parts of the northern Texas panhandle are currently under an “excessive heat watch” with temperatures hitting up to 115F (46C).

But combined with humidity, heat in many parts of the country are supposed to reach potentially hazardous conditions. On Monday, much of the Dakotas and Minnesota will experience “extreme” wet bulb globe temperatures — a measure of the human body’s ability to cool itself off.

During high wet bulb temperatures, temperature and humidity combine to make conditions especially dangerous for those exposed for a long time. People like outdoor workers and athletes who practise outside should take special caution.

Extreme wet bulb temperatures will continue through the south and even across the Atlantic seaboard by the rest of the week.

The country may not get much of a respite from these temperatures anytime soon, either. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the vast majority of the country should expect to see above average temperatures starting this weekend and continuing over the following week.

NWS encourages people to stay hydrated, limit outdoor activities and check up on other people — especially the most vulnerable, like the elderly — to protect yourself and other from the dangers of extreme heat.

High temperatures and humidity can lead to life-threatening illness and risks, including heat stroke and death.

And this heat wave is just the latest in what is turning out to be a hot summer for parts of the country. Last month, San Antonio, Texas recorded 17 days with high temperatures above 100F (38) — while the norm for June is just two days, reports The New York Times.

This kind of heat is expected to become even more common as the climate crisis grows over the next few decades.

As the world reaches 2C of warming above 19th century temperatures, heatwaves that once happened every 10 years would occur about every other year, according to the most recent report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Currently, the world has warmed around 1.2C.

But the climate crisis may not just lead to more of the intense and rare events — it may also raise temperatures on more normal summer days. According to the Climate Shift Index, a measure of how much the climate has affected each day’s temperature in the United States, many of the highs expected across the central and southern Plains this week have become more likely due to the climate crisis.

In northern Texas on Tuesday, where temperatures will reach up to 115F (46C), the climate crisis has made those conditions at least five times more likely to occur than before, the index says.

In Europe, a massive heatwave has broken records and lead to wildfire outbursts in the UK, France, Spain and Portugal. On Monday, Wales broke its all-time record temperature — and the UK’s all-time record temperature is expected to be broken as well.

“But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?” —Romans 10:14

Jesus Christ’s Offer of Salvation:

The ABCs of Salvation through Jesus Christ (the Lamb)

A. Admit/Acknowledge/Accept that you are sinner. Ask God’s forgiveness and repent of your sins.

. . . “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23).

. . . “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.” (Romans 3:10).

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” (1 John 1:8).

B. Believe Jesus is Lord. Believe that Jesus Christ is who He claimed to be; that He was both fully God and fully man and that we are saved through His death, burial, and resurrection. Put your trust in Him as your only hope of salvation. Become a son or daughter of God by receiving Christ.

. . . “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:15-17). For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13).

C. Call upon His name, Confess with your heart and with your lips that Jesus is your Lord and Savior.

. . . “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” (Romans 10:9-10).

. . . “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” (John 1:8-10).

. . . “And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. (John 2:2).

. . . “In this was manifested the love of god toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.” (1 John 4:9, 14-15).

. . . “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” (Romans 5:8-10).

. . . “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23).

. . . “Jesus saith unto them, I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6).

. . . “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth.” (Romans 1:16).

. . . “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts: 4:12).

. . . “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth for there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:4-6).

. . . “For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thessalonians 5:9).

. . . “But as many as received him, to them gave the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” (John 1:12).
