Sweltering heat has Howler monkeys in Mexico dropping dead from trees

A veterinarian feeds a young howler monkey rescued amid extremely high temperatures in Tecolutilla, Tobasco state, Mexico, on May 21.Extreme heat in Mexico, Central America and parts of the U.S. South has left millions of people in sweltering temperatures, strained energy grids and resulted in iconic Howler monkeys in Mexico dropping dead from trees.

Shawn Bhatti, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service forecast office in Miami, said southerly winds from the tropics transported warm, moist air northward from the equator, which contributed to the unusually warm conditions. Experts say the heat event raises concerns about ocean water temperatures and their influence on the upcoming Atlantic hurricane season.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday there is an 85% chance that the Atlantic hurricane season, which begins June 1, will be above average in storm activity. The situation is especially serious in places like Mexico City, which on May 9 had a record high of almost 94 degrees Fahrenheit and is expected to reach 95 degrees Fahrenheit in the coming days. In the capital, heat combines with pollution so ozone concentrations are expected to increase, warned the National Autonomous University of Mexico’s climate change program.
