Fifty-seven people died due to heat-related medical issues in Japan over the week starting July 29, the government said Tuesday, with the number of those taken to hospitals more than tripling from the previous week's 5,664 to 18,347.

The weekly figure of those sent to hospitals was the second highest since tallies began in 2008, according to the Fire and Disaster Management Agency.

Of the 18,347 people, 729 had severe symptoms requiring more than three weeks of treatment as an inpatient, while 6,548 had less serious issues needing shorter stays. Those aged 65 and older accounted for 54.3 percent of the total.

Adapt 2030 Ice Age Report: Climate sensationalism in a chilly baking world

Its interesting how there is unequal weight given to temperature anomalies across the planet in 2019, record heat in Europe dominates the headlines yet summer snow in Canada, USA and Russia goes unnoticed as well record cold temperatures on the same continents. News casters fired for voicing concerns that "Code Red" is being overused and desensitising viewers.

Climate Revolution is a 'Must Read' for understanding our Sun driven climate as we progress deeper into the new Eddy Grand Solar Minimum. Weather extremes leading to Global food scarcity and high food prices are here now, and this book describes the expected changes, how to survive & thrive during future challenging times with practical preparations.


Comment: Extreme times: Two days after cyclists raced in record-breaking heat, Tour de France halted by hailstorm and mudslides

The mainstream media has focused almost exclusively on record-breaking hot temperatures this summer....promoting the man-made global warming/climate change narrative...yet it ought to be noted that at the other extreme, many new cold temperature records are also being set across the planet at this time:

27 inches of snow in 72 hours hits ski areas of New Zealand

skiing
There have been some big snowfalls in New Zealand over the past few days, transforming conditions after a slow start to the 2019 ski season there.

Ski areas have posted accumulations of up to 70cm in the past few and base depths have reached 3 metres (10 feet) at one area, the deepest in the southern hemisphere by more than a metre.

The news isn't all good though at present as some ski areas are closed due to the accompanying gale force winds, others whilst they did gout the snow, some as after all the snow their slopes are so full no one else can get on and at least one, Manganui, the one with the 3m base, because the weather warmed up after the snow

California's Mammoth Mountain ski resort finally closes after monster 261-day season

Mammoth mountain, California


Mammoth Mountain — located along the east side of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, California — has
finally closed for the season after receiving near-record snowfall this past winter.

According to the resort, Mammoth's season lasted a monster 261 days — the third longest seasons on record, with the latest-ever closing dates being Aug 13, 1995 (solar minimum of cycle 22) and Aug 6, 2017 (approaching solar minimum of cycle 24).

Throughout the 2018-2019 season, the resort received a total 718 inches (18.2 m) of snow at its summit and 492 inches (12.5 m) at the main lodge — the second largest accumulation in the resort's history.

In February alone, 207 inches (5.3 m) of powder fell, marking the snowiest February on record.


The Mountain reopens for the season on November 9.

World — Climate experts have solemnly warned that we only have twelve years left until they change the dates on global warming again.

"If we don't take action, then in 12 years we will have to explain why the world hasn't ended and come up with a new number," one UN scientist warned. "This is a very serious threat, and we urge everyone to hand control of the economy to the government immediately before we have no more time left to change the timeline again."

Strong winds and snow drifts forced Mt Dobson skifield to close its access road on Thursday.
It was a "frustrating" morning for Mt Dobson ski field on Thursday after the excitement of 40 centimetres of snow in 36 hours was dampened by strong winds and snow drifts forced the closure of its access road.

"I felt so bad because we did that Facebook post yesterday [saying the snow had arrived] and so many people were sending messages saying 'I'm invoking my powder clause and taking the day off work'," sales and marketing manager Mike Smith said.

"It's defeated us today but that's just life in the mountains unfortunately."

With global media focused on a wildfires that occur in Siberia every year, few are putting together the second year in a row for temperature extremes from Spain to the UK or all time record cold & snow anomalies sprinkled across the N. Hemisphere during summer. Its not about the heat or cold so much but how global crops will respond to the changes.
