Central North Carolina recently faced a dangerous double threat consisting of extreme heat and severe storms, which prompted a local […]

Good day! I found the definition of dew point and frost point somewhat odd on wikipedia . At the first line you see The dew point is the temperature to which air must be cooled to become saturated with water vapor. It's okay. But further frost point is defined as When the temperature is below the freezing point of water, the dew point is called the frost point, as frost is formed via deposition r…

A hard-right turn this weekend will push the former Cat 5 hurricane toward the state's northwestern islands, with the potential for broader impacts statewide....

An El Niño is usually expected to herald a cold end to winter in the UK – but this year could be different

Even though the solar wind was unusually dense during the May 2024 superstorm, ions from the solar wind contributed very little to the ring current, marking the first time both were observed simultaneously during a storm of this magnitude. In May 2024, auroras spread into skies far beyond their usual range, appearing at unusually low […]

The Pacific was buzzing with storms while the Atlantic was notably quiet. The post A Trio of Tropical Cyclones in the Pacific appeared first on NASA Science .

Our latest article published in Meteorology and Atmospheric Physics examines an Overshooting Convective Storm that occurred on June 1, 2018, over the Western Ghats. We identified 16,587 OCS grid points, revealing intense convection and significant rainfall. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00703-026-01153-8

This post explains a new partnership between Florida Tech and Kentucky-based weather technology firm Climavision that will expand radar coverage […]

The current El Nino could end up being the strongest since records began 40 years ago, the UN warns. It says the phenomenon is being "supersized" thanks to exceptionally warm temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean.

Rare hurricane triplets are currently spinning across the Pacific Ocean: Lowell, Karina and Marie. Did El Niño play a part? Find out here. The post Hurricane triplets spin across the Pacific Ocean first appeared on EarthSky .

_Research Square_. 2026The Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon, characterized by higher urban temperatures compared to surrounding rural areas, is increasingly evident in Mediterranean cities like Tirana due to dense urbanization and reduced vegetation. This study assesses UHI intensity in Tirana through the integration of long-term climatic data and on-site measurements. Satellite-derived data fr…

Part of DOE's ARM user facility, the Argonne-operated Bankhead National Forest observatory uses a 140-foot tower, radars and balloons to study how forests shape humidity, clouds, rainfall and storms, while supporting open science and student training.

Tropical Storm Edouard recently made landfall on the Texas coast before quickly losing its initial punch and downgrading into a […]

Spencers Creek’s long record shows how repeated cold, moist systems can build a metre-scale natural snowpack below Kosciuszko’s summit, even as Australian alpine snow declines over the long term.

The New York City metropolitan area and significant portions of New Jersey are facing an intense severe weather threat characterized […]
