Turning up the Heat! 14.4°F 10.8°F 7.2°F 3.6°F °F ( ) +3.5°F ( )

California Heat Wave 2006 Daytime temperatures >100°F for two weeks Record night time highs > 1 million without electricity Death toll estimates ~16,000 excess ER visits and 1,000 excess hospitalizations 25,000 cattle and 700,000 chickens died

Effect on Cascades Snowpack Temp in the Northwest 2 deg F hotter since 1970 Up to 25% reduction in snowpack in Cascades since 1930 ’ s. Expect 50-70% loss by Stream flow reductions Loss of snowpack affects tourism, skiing, drinking water, irrigation and electricity production in summer
