Global Weather

Recent research from UC Riverside reveals that a weakening Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could limit Arctic temperature increases by up to 2 degrees Celsius by the end of the century. While this slowdown may offer some relief, ongoing threats to Arctic wildlife and potential global weather disruptions remain a serious concern. ...

Scientists from UiT The Arctic University of Norway have issued a stark warning regarding the impact of melting Arctic sea ice on global ocean circulation patterns. Their recent study highlights that significant inflows of freshwater from melting sea ice into the Nordic Seas have historically led to dramatic cooling in northern Europe. By analysing...

For eight years now, the global economy has been weathering a succession of shocks - from trade conflicts and a pandemic to bloody wars in Ukraine and the Middle East.

New studies suggest the dramatic temperature increase seen in 2023 was largely influenced by the Pacific’s El Niño, which followed several years of cooling La Niña conditions. While researchers have ruled out some contributing factors, questions about this record-breaking year remain, particularly as temperatures exceeded typical El Niño patte...

Last month was the second-warmest September ever registered globally in an exceptional year "almost certain" to become the hottest on record, the EU climate monitor Copernicus said on Tuesday.

Raising concern over climate change DGM, IMD, Dr Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said that an ice-melting process in polar regions is causing sea-level rise and coastal areas are facing problems, especially during cyclones.

A helicopter crashed in Pune due to strong winds and bad weather today. All the four people who were travelling in the helicopter survived the crash.

The World Weather Attribution (WWA) study revealed that the devastating landslides in Wayanad, which resulted in more than 200 fatalities, were heavily influenced by human-induced climate change. On July 30, Wayanad received 140 mm of rainfall in a single day, marking it as the third heaviest one-day rainfall event in the district's history. The st...

Last month was the second hottest July for the planet on record, breaking a 13-month period when each month was warmest, which had been in part fuelled by the warming El Nino weather pattern.

Hurricane Debby made landfall as a Category 1 storm in the Big Bend region of Florida's Gulf Coast on Monday morning and began a slow crawl across the state, causing potentially dangerous storm surges, heavy rainfall and catastrophic flooding.

By 11 p.m. EDT (0300 GMT) on Sunday, the hurricane had sustained winds of 75 mph (120 kph), growing from a slow moving tropical storm that gained strength from warm Gulf waters. It will likely just get stronger.

Chinese weather authorities said Thursday July was the country's hottest month since records began six decades ago, as extreme temperatures persist across the globe.

While floods in Assam and heavy rainfall-induced landslides in Kerala have drawn global attention, 25 per cent of the 36 meteorological subdivisions in India are still reeling from a rainfall deficit halfway through the monsoon season.

More than 50 people were killed after landslides swept through tea estates and homes in Kerala state on July 30. Heavy rains caused floods in capital New Delhi. Several rivers swelled up in Assam after seasonal monsoon rains.

China is enduring a summer of extreme weather, with heavy rains battering swathes of the country and many regions enduring sweltering heat waves, is by far the world's largest emitter of the greenhouse gases says scientists.
