With June almost halfway in the books, the summer harmful algal bloom is poised to impact Ohioans in the coming months. Impending heat and humidity may jump-start the algal bloom as Lake Erie water temperatures skyrocket.
In this week's edition of Climate Friday, Meteorologist John Burchfield explains how the upcoming heat wave may impact the harmful algal bloom.
In line with its original projections, NOAA still anticipates a moderate to larger than moderate harmful algal bloom on Lake Erie. Represented by a severity index ranging from 4.5-7, the evolution of this year's bloom will depend on summer weather conditions. A 10 indicates the worst-case scenario for Lake Erie algae whereas a 1 reflects a minuscule bloom.
Since the 2014 water crisis, technology to monitor Lake Erie's health has improved, but scientists can also use wildlife to check water conditions.
Although they can be annoying when they are all over your car, mayflies are a good thing for the lake.
