Climate change looks set to trigger stronger storms more often, and the threat may not be properly communicated to people in the line of fire. Now, scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory suggest there’s room for a Category 6 on the scale –… Continue reading Recent mega-hurricanes prompt calls for a new Category 6
Ever since the first satellites started imaging the Earth, scientists have been using the data gathered to learn more about our planet and improve the lives of its inhabitants. From …read more Continue reading Satellite Provides Detailed Data on Antarctic Ice
It’s official: 2023 was the hottest year on record. Independent analyses by NASA, NOAA, WMO, Copernicus and the UK Met Office all reached the same conclusion, with the year also breaking a slew of other records and experiencing a string of severe weath… Continue reading 2023 confirmed as hottest year on record by 5 separate organizations
Hubble has helped astronomers measure changes in the weather on an exoplanet – and it won’t be topping anyone’s travel lists. Forecasts for the planet Tylos predict a gigantic hurricane today with a top of over 3,000 °F (1,650 °C), followed by a strong… Continue reading Planet Tylos weather forecast: Hellish hurricane today, iron rain tonight
Although drones are a good substitute for piloted aircraft in hazardous weather conditions, it’s obviously still best for their users if the things don’t crash. The Czech-designed ThunderFly TF-G1 autogyro drone was created with that fact in mind.Conti… Continue reading ThunderFly TF-G1 autogyro drone is up for stormy weather
