Yeah, yeah

... sort of imagery.

Um, you know, sometimes scientists worry about, like, the accuracy of these kind of catchy terms, but the scientists I talked to were like, "Yes, this actually does describe what's happening." It's, like, just kind of a good visceral way of, you know, thinking about it.

And the idea is that, you know, there needs to be a lot more study about these heat waves, so drawing attention to them could help us, like, figure out maybe how they might happen in the future, like predicting risks like flooding.

And if we understand them better, maybe we can help water managers and communities plan ahead for how to, you know, manage their water resources.

And before we let you go, uh, Kate, kinda what's, what are c- scientists continuing to, to study on this, on this topic? Um, you know, future hazards they may be associated with? What's next to look at?

Yeah, absolutely.

Um, some scientists I were talking to said that they wonder about the connections to things like avalanches and permafrost melt and sort of these risks to people, you know, skiing on mountains or living on or near mountains.
