🎾The US Open Tennis Championships is underway in New York — and the heat is serving up a new challenge.

The conditions tennis players face today aren't the same as they were decades ago. For example, over the past 55 years, the chance of experiencing a hot tournament day has jumped from 49% to 67%.

A hotter climate means a hotter court, with higher stakes for players and fans alike. Read the report: https://www.climatecentral.org/report/tennis

Since 1970, fall has warmed by 2.9°F on average in 241 major U.S. cities — and human-caused climate change is the leading driver in 82% of cities analyzed.

A warmer fall can prolong risks from heat-related illnesses, wildfires, allergies, and more.

🌙 Extreme heat doesn’t end when the sun goes down.

A new Climate Central analysis found that unusually warm summer nights have increased since 1970 in 95% of 243 major U.S. cities. On average, cities now experience 24 more unusually warm nights each summer than in the early 1970s. The biggest increases in total nights were found in: Reno, NV (+79), Albany, GA (+73), and Sarasota, FL (+73).

Want to learn about the current state of our planet’s climate?

Join us for our next Monthly Climate Brief as we take a closer look at the latest state of the climate — from soaring ocean temperatures and record-breaking heat to major wildfires around the world.

We’ll also explore what the latest outlooks are showing for the weeks ahead, dive into the current state of heat services around the globe, and share the latest El Niño update.

As temperatures rise, so does the need for cooling.

📈Climate Central found that cooling degree days — a measure of cooling demand — have increased since 1970 in 97% of the 241 major U.S. cities analyzed. On average, cooling demand has increased by 37%.

🏠Households spend hundreds of dollars each year to stay cool in warmer states. In 2020, cooling costs ranged from $378 in Hawaii to $712 in Arizona and even $546 in Florida. Many of the hottest states also saw cooling account for at least one-quarter of annual electricity bills.

The numbers tell a powerful story.

In just the first six months of 2026, the U.S. experienced 12 billion-dollar weather and climate disasters – causing at least $31.9 billion in damages. From severe storms to record freeze events and more, 2026 is already shaping up to be another costly year for extreme weather.
