The Southwest has grown hotter and drier during the past decade, and new climate data from the federal government shows these changes have been dramatic, shifting the long-term averages that represent the region’s “normal.”
The country’s updated climate “normals” were released Tuesday by the National Centers for Environmental Information, encompassing weather data for the 30-year period from 1991 through 2020. The federal government releases these long-term averages every 10 years as an up-to-date benchmark for comparing with the weather on a daily basis.
Compared with the 30 years that ended in 2010, the new averages show temperatures have gotten warmer nearly everywhere in the country. But the warming has been most pronounced in the Southwest, with average temperatures generally rising between 0.5 degrees F and 1 degree F, an increase that federal meteorologists said clearly reflects the influence of global warming.
How Arizona Is Preparing for the Coming Water Shortage
Arizona will lose one-fifth of its water allotment from the Colorado River in 2022 as cuts from the river s Drought Contingency Plan take effect. May 5, 2021, 8am PDT | James Brasuell |
Ian James writes about how Arizona water officials are preparing to subsist on far less water than hoped in the coming years, as the megadrought along the Colorado River deepens and the relatively new Drought Contingency Plan (DCP) takes effect, determining how much water will be allotted to the seven states along the Colorado River watershed during lean water years. Lake Mead’s decline is expected to trigger substantial reductions in water deliveries in 2022 for Arizona, Nevada and Mexico. The largest of those cuts will affect Arizona, slashing its Colorado River supplies by 512,000 acre-feet, about a fifth of its total entitlement, explains James.
