The Western Pacific season activity is significantly increasing lately. Soon after a damaging Typhoon Molave over the Philippines and Vietnam, a new extremely rapid development of a typhoon is underway. Typhoon Goni is becoming a violent storm and is moving towards its potentially destructive landfall in Luzon this Sunday. Model guidance is hinting it may […]

The capital of Libya, Tripoli has been hit by an unprecedented severe supercell storm on Tuesday, Oct 27th, 2020. The storm produced exceptionally large, *giant* hail, possibly more than 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter. The first reports indicate that hailstones could be one of the largest ever recorded on Earth! Such hail size would […]

The remnants of Hurricane Epsilon have helped to boost the North Atlantic depression into the strongest extratropical storm of the fall season so far. The central pressure has bottomed at 940 mbar, releasing a major wind storm to its south. Now, major waves are spreading towards Ireland and the UK. An impressive extratropical transition of […]

Hurricanes, the United States' deadliest and most destructive weather disasters, are notoriously difficult to predict. With the average storm intensity as well as the proportion of storms that reach category 4 or 5 likely to increase, more accurate predictions of future hurricane impacts could help emergency officials and coastal populations better prepare for such storms -- and ultimately, save lives.

With the tropical storm season in the Atlantic Ocean underway and already well into the Greek alphabet for naming, better storm track prediction has allowed timely evacuations and preparations. However, the formation and intensification of these storms remains challenging to predict, according to an international team of researchers who are studying the origin of tropical cyclones.

Microplastics (plastics <5mm) and their negative health impacts have been studied in oceans, rivers, and even soils, and scientists are beginning to grapple with the myriad human health impacts their presence might have. One understudied, but critical, link in the cycle is groundwater, which is often a source of drinking water.

The remnants of Hurricane Epsilon have been racing across the North Atlantic today after a textbook extratropical transition this morning. Now, the remnants are merging with the explosively developing low, located south of Iceland. A very powerful extratropical storm is unfolding and will release a massive windstorm and major waves towards western Europe over the […]
