Summer Concerts Face Violent Weather

The Taylor Swift concert given at 100 degrees plus F in Rio De Janeiro killed a woman who was overcome by heat exhaustion. Several other people became ill. The reaction was that such incidents are rare. As climate change drives more violent storms, particularly across the US, this may change quickly.

Bloomberg points out, “Climate change is ushering in more extreme weather worldwide, and with it, greater risks for outdoor events. Many venues, organizers and fans are ill-prepared.”

Violent storms often develop more rapidly than before, often because of high heat in the atmosphere. Houston was recently hit by a storm with winds over 100 MPH, and the magnitude of the storm was not predicted. A month ago, rain, hail, and tornadoes raced across much of the country’s middle. The tornadoes, in particular, were hard to predict.

Predicting Storms Gets Harder

NPR recently pointed out, “Climate change makes it more difficult to predict the weather, because as the Earth heats up, it causes weather patterns to change and get more extreme.” This is particularly dangerous when thousands or tens of thousands of people are close together in a relatively small space. Most summer concerts and special events are held outside, which is usually the season for the worst storms.

The chance that a large concert or sports event week dodges harsh weather this summer will continue to fall.
