![]() ![]() So yeah, in that case it really is "turn around and go back the other way around the circle" or "wait until they clear the road however long that takes". There's no way to go around it because you've got the ocean on one side and the mountains on the other. Like if there's an accident on Kam Hwy on the North Shore.that's the ONLY road. And in some spots, the 'alternate route' would be 'turn around and go back around the island the other way or wait for the road to clear'. If traffic is backed up one the main will be backed up on any alternate routes there might be. The kind of thing you have to remember with Oahu traffic (and Hawaii traffic in general) is there aren't a lot of alternate routes to get places. If you are't already back close to west side early on that range, just have dinner somewhere else and wait it out instead of waiting out the traffic in your car on the highway. When you're leaving, you get most of the same bottlenecks.just in reverse.Ĭonsider morning rush around 0700-0900ish. If you're heading into Honolulu proper, traffic will only get more congested as you get closer during rush hour in the morning. ![]() If that gets backed up, it can also get super slow. So if you're coming from up by Waianae (and if you are you're probably staying somewhere not permitted for vacation rentals.) it will take you a long time to get anywhere else on the island.Īnother spot that can get backed up on weekdays coming from the west side (in the mornings anyway) is between the H2-H1 merge (around Waipahu area) back to Kapolei. There's only one way in and out of the west side and if there's an accident traffic can be backed up for ages even during non-rush-hour. The global mean temperature in 2022 was 1.15C above the 1850-1900 average.The thing I'm concerned about that nobody's really addressed is you mention "north to south on west side".what do you mean by that?ĭo you mean west side like Ko'Olina or do you mean west side like up toward Waianae? ![]() The 2015 Paris Agreement saw countries agree to cap global warming at "well below" two degrees Celsius above average levels measured between 18 - and 1.5C if possible. There is a two-thirds chance that at least one of the next five years will see the increase in global temperatures exceeding the more ambitious target set out in the Paris accords on limiting climate change, the UN's World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said. The same month, the United Nations warned it is near-certain that 2023-2027 will be the warmest five-year period ever recorded, as greenhouse gasses and the El Nino climate phenomenon combine to send temperatures soaring.Ī recent report from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warned that "every increment of global warming will intensify multiple and concurrent hazards". The eastern metropolis of Shanghai last month recorded its hottest May day in more than 100 years. More than two million square kilometres (772,000 square miles) across China have been hit by temperatures exceeding 35 degrees Celsius this week, Xinhua said. "Personnel working in high-temperature environments should shorten their periods of continuous work," the newspaper added. The Communist Party-run Beijing Daily advised readers on Friday to stay hydrated, suggesting the traditional sweet drink of mung bean soup or drinks containing electrolytes. In the capital, road surface temperatures exceeded 50 degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit), "which can easily cause road damage, vehicle tyre blowout, spontaneous combustion and other traffic accidents", city meteorologist Lei Lei told Xinhua.īeijing's previous record temperature for mid-June was 39.1 degrees on June 13, 2000, according to the CMA. ![]() Multiple locations in Hebei province were under red alert - the highest - for temperatures over 40 degrees on Friday. Scientists say global warming is exacerbating adverse weather, with many countries experiencing deadly heatwaves and temperatures hitting records across Asia in recent weeks. The CMA said the coming days would see temperatures above 37 degrees Celsius in Beijing, adding that "the public should reduce the duration of outdoor activity and beware of heatstroke".īeijing is under an orange alert for high temperatures - the second-highest warning level.Įight provincial capitals across the country recorded their highest temperatures of the year on Thursday, according to the official Xinhua news agency. "At around 2:30 pm on June 16, the temperature at Beijing's Nanjiao observatory hit 39.4 degrees Celsius, breaking the record high for mid-June," the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) wrote in a social media post. ![]()
