Seville, Spain has become the first major city to name heat weaves just like how we name hurricanes. For more background, here's our story from August 2020:
The expanding risk of extremely hot temperatures has brought together for the first time a varied list of stakeholders to try to stem the deadly effects: mayors, insurance executives, scientists, building engineers, forest restorers, the Red Cross and more are banding together as 30% of the world already copes with deadly heat waves lasting 20 days or longer.
The group’s No. 1 priority is a push for a standard practice of naming and ranking heat waves globally, just as tropical storms are, so that communities and people can communicate about the emergency, adequately prepare and, hopefully, lives can be saved. “This extreme heat crisis can no longer be the ‘silent killer’ it is,” said Kathy Baughman McLeod, director and SVP of the Adrienne Arsht-Rockefeller Foundation Resilience Center. “This growing risk — and related solutions — must be blasted from a megaphone to decision makers and to people everywhere made even more vulnerable by the impacts of COVID-19.”

Because it\u2019s cotton, you could easily wear it as a day dress, layered with a roll neck underneath and knee-high boots, but you could also cinch the waist with a wide belt and add heels and earrings and it\u2019s instantly party-ready. It will also work with flat sandals next Spring. It\u2019s the ultimate mood-booster.'
