NASA’s Parker Solar Probe Completes Second Close Flyby of the Sun at Record Speed
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe completed a close flyby of the Sun on March 22, travelling at 692,000 kilometres per hour and approaching within 6.1 million kilometres of the solar surface. The mission, designed to study solar winds and space weather, received a healthy signal back on March 25. The team, including NASA and Johns Hopkins APL experts, ha...

X-Class Solar Flare From Emerging Sunspot Causes Radio Blackouts
An unexpected X1.1-class solar flare erupted from sunspot AR4046, triggering shortwave radio blackouts over North and South America. The flare originated from the sun’s eastern limb and was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection that is not expected to impact Earth. Space weather experts have warned that the sunspot will face Earth in the coming ...

Aardvark Weather AI-Powered Weather Forecasting System Unveiled, Does Not Require Supercomputers
Aardvark Weather, an artificial intelligence (AI) system for weather forecasting that offers several advantages over traditional methods, was unveiled on Thursday. The fully AI-driven system is said to be capable enough to replace the existing systems that require custom supercomputers and a team of experts to deliver predictions. It is also said t...

Scientists Warn of Alarming Rise in Marine Heat Waves and Its Impact on Oceans
Reports indicate a sharp rise in marine heat waves, with 2023–2024 experiencing a 240% increase compared to past years. Scientists warn of devastating effects on marine life, including mass die-offs, coral reef degradation, and increased storm intensity. Coastal communities are at risk as extreme weather events linked to warming oceans become mor...

Arabia Had Five Times More Rainfall 400 Years Ago, Study Finds
Research reveals Arabia's climate was drastically wetter 400 years ago, resembling a savannah with thriving wildlife. Sediment cores from the Gulf of Aqaba confirm fluctuating rainfall patterns over centuries. Experts highlight the importance of climate resilience as urbanisation progresses. The study emphasises the need for better flood and drough...

Historical Records Unveil 16th Century Transylvania’s Climate Struggles
Centuries-old records from Transylvania offer insight into the extreme climate events of the 1500s. Researchers examined handwritten manuscripts in multiple languages to trace shifts in temperature, droughts, and floods. The study reveals how people endured environmental hardships, including famine and disease. Evidence suggests the Little Ice Age ...

Extreme Arctic Warming Sees North Pole Temperatures Rise Above Freezing
A sharp rise in Arctic temperatures saw the North Pole exceed freezing, with readings 20 degree Celsius above normal. Scientists warn of accelerating ice loss and climate change impacts. The event, attributed to a weather system near Iceland, has raised concerns about Arctic amplification, which causes the region to warm nearly four times faster th...

Concerns Rise Over Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation Stability and Climate Impact
A new study suggests the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has remained stable over the past six decades, but experts remain divided. While some scientists argue the system has not weakened, others believe potential future disruptions to AMOC are inevitable, with major climate implications, including extreme weather events and cold...

Massive 500,000-Mile Coronal Hole on the Sun Blasts Solar Wind Toward Earth
A gigantic coronal hole, spanning 500,000 miles, has formed on the sun’s surface, allowing solar wind to escape at speeds of over 310 miles per second. Forecasts indicate that this solar wind may reach Earth by January 31, triggering a minor (G1) geomagnetic storm. While no severe impact is expected, the storm could enhance auroras at higher lati...

Storm Éowyn Hits UK and Ireland: Red Alerts for Snow, Wind, and Flooding
Storm Éowyn, a rapidly intensifying bomb cyclone, is set to hit the UK and Ireland, bringing snow, heavy rainfall, and winds up to 160 km/h. Red weather warnings have been issued for multiple regions, including Ireland, Northern Ireland, and parts of Scotland, signaling life-threatening conditions. Meteorologists are comparing its strength to the ...

Solar Storm Forecast to Trigger Northern Lights in Upper Midwest
A solar storm from a coronal mass ejection (CME) is set to strike Earth, bringing a minor geomagnetic storm to northern and upper Midwest states between January 24-25. Experts predict visible auroras across areas like Michigan and Maine, sparking excitement among aurora chasers. The storm, rated G1, could peak at Kp 5.33, with auroras expected to b...

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...

Thunderstorms May Skew Ultra-High-Energy Gamma Ray Measurements, Experts Warn
The detection of ultra-high-energy gamma rays by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO) in Tibet has sparked debate over the accuracy of the findings. Experts suggest that thunderstorms could interfere with measurements by amplifying particle showers in the atmosphere, leading to overestimated gamma ray energy levels. A study by As...
