Major Disruption Has Left Arctic Polar Vortex Away from North Pole, Scientists Alert
As the polar vortex fades, temperatures in Northern Europe, portions of Asia, and the eastern United States will be below average. Temperatures for the last week of March were pretty normal across the eastern U.S., but the latest forecasts do predict increased chances of below-normal temperatures for the next week.

Strong Winds, Dry Weather, Haze: South Korea Struggles To Contain Wildfire
Deadly wildfires in South Korea worsened overnight, officials said Tuesday, as dry, windy weather hampers efforts to contain one of the country's worst-ever fire outbreaks.

Scientists Discover Declining Global Ocean Evaporation Amid Rising Temperatures
Recent research has revealed a decline in global ocean evaporation since 2008, challenging traditional climate models. Despite increasing sea surface temperatures, evaporation rates have decreased across two-thirds of the world's oceans. Scientists attribute this unexpected trend to reduced wind speeds, or "wind stilling," and shifts in atmospheric...

Comet ATLAS Offers Stunning Display as It Nears the Sun
Comet C/2024 G3 (ATLAS) recently passed within 8 million miles of the Sun, capturing the attention of astronomers. Observed by NASA and ESA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), the comet’s tail extended dramatically as it encountered intense solar winds, providing a unique opportunity to study the Sun’s impact on comets. The event, wh...

Study Explores Sun’s Magnetic Field Changes and Solar Wind Acceleration
A study published in The Astrophysical Journal has shed light on how the Sun’s magnetic field influences solar wind acceleration. Using data from the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter, researchers observed that sharp magnetic switchbacks smooth out into gentler waves as they travel further from the Sun. This relaxation process transfers magnet...

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...

Rare Sea Smoke and Streaming Snow Phenomena Captured Near Pine Island Glacier
In October 2024, Pine Island Glacier displayed unusual atmospheric phenomena, including rare sea smoke and blowing snow. Captured by NASA's Landsat 8, these events were visible due to clear skies. Strong winds pushed warmer water to the surface, creating sea smoke, while blowing snow from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet influenced the glacier’s land...

Will Hurricanes Become Even Stronger as the Planet Warms?
Hurricanes derive their strength from warm ocean waters, with current theoretical wind speed limits around 200 mph. However, as global temperatures continue to rise due to climate change, experts predict hurricanes could intensify even further. This increase in ocean heat may push the limits, potentially resulting in stronger storms with winds exce...

Ocean Heat Behind Helene Made 500 Times More Likely By Climate Change
Climate change intensified Hurricane Helene's rainfall and winds, amplifying its devastation, a new rapid analysis found.

Scientists Uncover Invisible Ambipolar Electric Field Around Earth for First Time, New Study Reveals
Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery by detecting and measuring the ambipolar electric field around Earth for the first time. This field, hypothesised over 60 years ago, was observed during the Endurance rocket mission launched by NASA in May 2022. The ambipolar field, located in the ionosphere at around 250 kilometres above Earth's surf...

Hurricane Debby To Hit Florida, May Cause Historic Rainfall, 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.
