France follows England in measuring hottest spring on record
France follows England in measuring hottest spring on record Andrew Zinin Lead Editor France experienced its hottest spring on record, the country's weather service said Tuesday, after an exceptional early heat wave that also broke seasonal highs in England and Wales. Meteo-France said the average nationwide temperature from March to May was 13.8C—about 1.7C above normal and surpassing records set in 2011 and 2020. "The warmest spring since records began in 1900," it said in a bulletin.
Climate scientists say heatwave misinformation is fuelling online harassment
Misleading claims about Europe's record heatwave in May have followed familiar climate-change denial narratives, as scientists say that misinformation can help fuel online hostility. A May heatwave across Europe has shattered temperature records and sparked a wave of familiar claims online that attempt to throw climate science into disrepute. One post on X, viewed thousands of times, claims that historic heatwaves, such as those in London in the summer of 1976 and in 1921, prove that the...
On-demand Arctic observations with low-cost balloon systems could sharpen local storm forecasts
On-demand Arctic observations with low-cost balloon systems could sharpen local storm forecasts Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Arctic communities are increasingly exposed to dangerous weather events due to climate change and rely on accurate weather forecasts. However, conditions in the lower atmosphere remain poorly observed in the Arctic because monitoring systems are expensive and difficult to deploy. Now, researchers propose a new framework for on-demand...
El Nino set to fuel record global temperatures as UN issues urgent climate change warning
El Nino set to fuel record global temperatures as UN issues urgent climate change warning An El Nino event this year is likely to take place between June and August 2026 - Bookmark - CommentsGo to comments A warming "El Nino" weather event is now 80 per cent likely this summer, World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) scientists report. The UN body warns countries to prepare for the phenomenon, which warms tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures, pushing up global temperatures, compounding...
Major 7.8 magnitude earthquake hits Mindanao coast in Philippines; tsunami alert issued
A powerful earthquake struck off the coast of Mindanao in the southern Philippines on Monday, prompting tsunami warnings in the Philippines and Indonesia and triggering alerts from international monitoring agencies as authorities assessed the impact across the region. The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) said the earthquake measured 8.2 in magnitude and struck at a depth of 10km (6.2 miles). The agency had earlier estimated the quake at 7.3 before revising its assessment.
Philippines earthquake kills 15, prompts tsunami fears: All to know
Philippines earthquake kills 15, prompts tsunami fears: All to know The latest tremors come eight months after the Philippines suffered its strongest earthquake in 12 years. A powerful magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck the southern Philippines off the island of Mindanao, prompting tsunami risks in several countries. At least 15 people were feared dead as a result of the tremors.
7.8 magnitude earthquake rocks the Philippines, triggering tsunami warnings across the region
The strongest earthquake to hit the Philippines this year was centered at sea and caused damage in a key coastal city, knocking down power and setting off 1-metre tsunami waves along nearby coasts, officials said. A 7.8-magnitude earthquake struck the southern Philippines on Monday, killing at least one person, collapsing buildings, and sparking tsunami warnings across the region. Authorities in the Philippines and Indonesia urged residents in affected coastal regions to move to higher...
Amplified Arctic iceberg traffic reshapes benthic biodiversity
Abstract The Arctic is undergoing rapid warming, resulting in retreating sea ice and glaciers1, yet how cryospheric changes propagate into the deep ocean remains poorly understood2. Here we identify a climate-driven mechanism linking accelerating glacier disintegration to an increase in deep-sea hard-bottom habitats far beyond calving fronts. Seafloor observations in Fram Strait show a localized increase in the density and patchiness of dropstones delivered by debris-laden icebergs.
The strongest El Nino in more than a century may be coming
The strongest El Nino in more than a century may be coming June 10, 2026A potentially powerful El Nino developing in the Pacific Ocean could reshape weather patterns around the world in the coming weeks. Forecasters that warn this could be among the strongest El Nino events on record. There’s "real potential for the strongest El Nino event in 140 years," said Paul Roundy, a professor of atmospheric and environmental sciences at the State University of New York at Albany.
