The Surface Water and Ocean Topography satellite provides a new view of water on land, at the coast, and in the ocean. A series of atmospheric rivers drenched California in February, with record amounts of rainfall and hurricane-force winds sweeping across parts of the state. At one point, weather a...

NOAA is developing an innovative pollen forecast model to help the 80+ million Americans with seasonal allergies. This model predicts how weather affects pollen levels and vice versa, potentially easing allergy symptoms through better preparedness. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control a...

An engineering professor transformed a traumatic childhood experience with electricity into a career dedicated to enhancing electrical safety. He developed a Z-source inverter that responds to electrical faults 1,000 times faster than traditional methods, aiming to fortify power grid stability and p...

MIT researchers have linked heavy snowfall and rain to earthquake swarms in northern Japan, suggesting that extreme weather events can trigger seismic activity by altering underground pressures. This groundbreaking study highlights the potential for climate to impact geological events, with implicat...

Storm Ciaran caused a decrease in boiling water temperatures across southern Britain to 98°C, impacting tea quality for 20 million people, according to a University of Reading study. Britain, prepare for deep depression: storms ruin tea. A new study reveals that Storm Ciaran cut an invisible path of...

New findings have the potential to enhance computer models used for weather and climate prediction. For decades, scientists have sought to unravel the intricate and enigmatic sequence of events that allow tiny droplets in clouds to grow large enough to fall to the ground. Gaining a deeper understand...

Researchers have discovered that the same principles governing air turbulence in the troposphere also apply to the thermosphere. A study published in Geophysical Research Letters reveals that turbulence in the thermosphere follows the same physical laws as wind in the lower atmosphere. Additionally,...

New research reveals that without significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, up to 70% of the global population will face drastic changes in extreme weather within the next two decades. The study highlights potential outcomes of extreme temperature shifts and altered rainfall patterns, emph...

For the first time, scientists explain how rubbing a surface creates electrical current. Researchers at Northwestern University have unraveled the long-standing mystery of why rubbing objects together generates static electricity. They discovered that different forces at the front and back of a slid...

However, older adults should avoid using fans in extremely hot and dry conditions. New collaborative research by the University of Sydney and the Montreal Heart Institute reveals that using a fan in hot, humid weather can reduce cardiac strain in older adults, challenging the current recommendations...

Hey HN!<p>You know that feeling when you&#x27;re exploring a new city, and you stop in front of this stunning building or quirky statue, but have no clue about its significance? That was me and my wife last year, constantly switching between apps and guidebooks instead of actually enjoying our trave...

Two groundbreaking studies, involving researchers from Goethe University Frankfurt, the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry, the University of Helsinki, the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research, and Brazilian partner institutions, have uncovered a new climate mechanism. The Amazon rainforest e...

From the Americas to Africa, 2024 was marked by extreme weather events. Research indicates that these incidents, intensified by climate change, call for better forecasting and a robust response system to save lives and reduce impact. From prolonged droughts in southern Africa and Central America ear...

La Niña has made a long-awaited return, cooling the Pacific and stirring up global weather patterns. This natural climate phenomenon, part of the ENSO cycle, strengthens trade winds and brings up deep, cold ocean water, altering temperatures and rainfall worldwide. While NOAA confirmed its presence ...

A monstrous storm system tore across the U.S. in March 2025, igniting wildfires, spawning tornadoes, and blanketing Texas in a choking dust storm. With parched land and relentless winds, visibility plummeted, leading to accidents and power outages. Scientists caution that worsening droughts will onl...

ISTA physicists demonstrate that contact electrification depends on the contact history of materials. For centuries, static electricity has intrigued and perplexed scientists. Now, researchers from the Waitukaitis group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) have uncovered a cruci...

New research reveals that Arctic sea ice loss can disrupt weather worldwide, making California drier while increasing winter humidity in parts of Europe. Using advanced models, scientists isolated this effect, showing how melting ice alters atmospheric circulation. These findings could explain past ...

Scientists have discovered that water moving over surfaces generates significantly more electrical charge than previously believed, particularly when it sticks and then slips past tiny obstacles. This newfound knowledge could revolutionize surface design for safer fuel storage, better energy storage...

NASA’s PUNCH mission has officially come online, promising to transform our understanding of space weather. By capturing global, 3D views of the Sun’s corona, PUNCH will reveal how solar wind and explosive solar events evolve and impact our planet. These disturbances can cause stunning auroras but a...
