- John Morales: Forecast shows fewer hurricanes during 2026 season, but don't get comfortable
The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season is forecast to be below normal due to a strong El Niño, but experts warn of increased intensity risks from climate change. Historical data shows El Niño years can still produce devastating storms, such as Hurricane Camille (1969) and Hurricane Betsy (1965).
- Mexico’s climate supercomputer could change forecasting
Mexico is developing the Coatlicue supercomputer, the most powerful in Latin America, to enhance weather forecasting, climate research, and AI initiatives. Led by President Claudia Sheinbaum, the system aims to process 314 petaflops of data, enabling earlier disaster warnings and supporting scientific and entrepreneurial projects.
