NOAA Confirms a Weak and 'Unusual' La Niña by Spring
An unusual La Niña event has been confirmed by NOAA, emerging later than expected in December 2024. This weaker and shorter cycle, part of the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), is predicted to persist until April 2025. La Niña typically brings cooler and wetter winters to northern regions while causing warmer, drier conditions in the south. D...

2024 Marks Earth's Hottest Year Ever, Surpassing Critical 1.5 degree Celsius Warming Limit
In 2024, Earth recorded its hottest year ever, surpassing the critical 1.5 degree Celsius warming threshold for the first time in history. This significant temperature increase has been linked to intensified weather events, rising sea levels, and widespread environmental damage. The year saw an alarming rise in climate-related disasters, with the U...

Polar Vortex Could Bring Freezing Temperatures to the US, Be the Coldest in a Decade
A polar vortex is expected to bring extreme cold and heavy snowstorms across the eastern United States. Temperatures could drop as much as 30°F below average, with some regions experiencing sub-freezing conditions as far south as Florida. The cold blast is set to affect areas like the Great Lakes, Northeast, and Appalachians, causing significant s...

NASA's Twin Mini Satellites Captures Far-Infrared Radiation from Polar Regions
NASA’s PREFIRE mission, launched in 2024, is utilizing CubeSats to capture groundbreaking data on far-infrared radiation emitted from polar regions. These measurements, which track heat escaping from the Arctic and Antarctic, provide critical insights into Earth’s energy balance, a key component in understanding climate change. Despite encounte...

Bomb Cyclones Explained: What Are They and What Makes Them So Dangerous?
Bomb cyclones are low-pressure systems that intensify rapidly, often over oceans, bringing damaging winds, heavy rainfall and snowfall. They form when specific atmospheric conditions align, with a significant drop in pressure and the release of latent heat energy. Their occurrence is most common in cold months and poses risks to shipping. Experts a...
