How to deal with hot weather if your antidepressant is making it worse

How to deal with hot weather if your antidepressant is making it worse

Washington Post16 hours ago
As someone who's lived in Phoenix for a few years, I'm pretty familiar with pavement-scorching, triple-digit temps. And while I can get as heat-fatigued as the next person, for the most part, I just deal.
This year, however, I just felt … different. My head started to pound after running just a few errands. My leisurely morning walks seemed strangely strenuous. My sweat seemed to quadruple in volume.

Nice weather on the way to Maryland for the 4th

After several days of stormy and unsettled weather across Maryland, a stretch of dry, sunny, and seasonable conditions is on the way just in time for the Fourth of July holiday and the upcoming weekend. Temperatures will fall into the 60s and 70s under clear skies Wednesday night, setting the stage for a beautiful Thursday. Expect mostly sunny skies with just a few clouds and highs climbing into the upper 80s to near 90 degrees. A weak cold front may spark a brief afternoon shower, but most locations will stay dry. Thursday night will be comfortably cool with lows once again dropping into the 60s. The forecast for Independence Day on Friday is looking ideal. Sunshine and low humidity will make for a comfortable afternoon, with highs in the upper 80s to near 90. Fireworks displays across the state should go off without a hitch, with clear skies and temperatures in the upper 70s by evening. Humidity will slowly rise over the weekend, but skies will stay generally sunny to partly cloudy both Saturday and Sunday. Highs both days are expected to hover around 90 degrees. The next chance for rain returns early next week. Scattered thunderstorms are possible Monday afternoon with highs in the low 90s. Another round of storms is expected Tuesday, with highs in the upper 80s to near 90. Looking ahead, the pattern appears unsettled through the rest of next week, with daily opportunities for showers and storms. Temperatures will remain near 90 degrees each afternoon, accompanied by elevated humidity-typical of a mid-summer stretch in Maryland.

Central New York's corn crop is taking its sweet time this season

BALDWINSVILLE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — The fireworks are ready to pop, but Central New York's corn crop is still playing catch-up! This corn season, local farmers are anticipating the crop to be ready for your cookout by mid-July. At Abbott's Farm in Baldwinsville, the corn isn't anywhere near knee-high this season, which is the desired height farmers expect by the Fourth of July. 'It's been one of the wettest springs that I can remember,' said Abbott's Farm owner Warren Abbott. 'Normally, we want to have our corn in the first week of May, and this year we planted the first week of June.' It wasn't just rainy this spring—cloudy, misty weather persisted for weeks, along with smoke from the Canadian wildfires that added an extra layer of haze, blocking the sun when the corn needed the most sunlight. 'You need sunlight to make sugar, that's the basic building block of life. Everything comes from the photosynthetic process, and how the green plants are doing,' Abbott said. Although the corn crop is short now, farmers remain hopeful. The recent heat has been beneficial, and if the sunshine persists, the crop could still catch up. Abbott said farmers are used to adjusting, as every year brings different challenges. 'I might have to buy corn from New Jersey just to get through this year,' Abbott said. 'But next year will be different. It always is.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Here are all the places in the US that you can see the northern lights tonight

People in some parts of the U.S. may be able to see the northern lights this evening. Weather permitting, residents of more than a dozen states could hit the jackpot, according to the most recent forecast from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center - Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Michigan, Wisconsin, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire, Washington, and New York. For the best chance to catch the phenomenon, skywatchers should head to areas away from light pollution at around 2 a.m. local time. However, auroras can be fickle, showing up in areas other than where they are expected. The dazzling display is caused by an incoming coronal mass ejection: a burst of plasma and solar material released by the sun and headed our way. The result of this celestial event is often a geomagnetic storm, which is triggered when the eruption travels through space and interacts with Earth's magnetic field. 'A G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm watch has been issued for 02 Jul (UTC day) due to the arrival of a CME that left the Sun on 28 Jun,' the center said in a post on social media. Geomagnetic storms are what create the aurora borealis, which is light produced when particles from space collide with atoms and molecules in the upper atmosphere centered on Earth's magnetic pole. A G1 geomagnetic storm is the weakest on the scale of storms, which goes up to G5. In this minor storm, weak power grid fluctuations can occur, and a minor impact on satellite operations is possible. Stronger solar flares and coronal mass ejections can lead to radio blackouts and more severe spacecraft operation impacts, such as problems with orientation and tracking satellites. A radio blackout was observed earlier this month thanks to a strong flare. The sun is in what is known as its solar maximum period, meaning an increase in solar activity that has led to the most intense solar storm in decades and stunning displays of the northern lights across the country. Scientists have warned there may be 'much bigger' and disruptive storms en route in the coming years.
