- Hailstorms are predicted to hit harder with climate change
Hailstorms are expected to cause more damage by the end of the century due to larger hailstone sizes from climate change, with significant increases in mid-latitudes and reductions in the tropics and subtropics.
- Towards disentangling human-induced drivers of precipitation trends from naturally occurring ones
Researchers combined climate models with statistical learning to assess winter precipitation trends at mid-latitudes, finding consistent thermodynamic effects but unclear circulation-related changes. The study aimed to disentangle human-induced drivers from naturally occurring ones. The research was published in Nature.
- Northern lights could be visible as far south as Illinois and Oregon tonight
The northern lights may be visible in Illinois and Oregon tonight due to fast solar wind triggering geomagnetic storms. These storms could push auroras into mid-latitudes, allowing sightings further south than usual.
