The dark clouds gather, and thunder rumbles in the distance. Your heart starts to race as the storm approaches. For some, the anxiety and fear caused by thunderstorms can feel overwhelming. However, it’s possible to find serenity even as a storm looms. 7 strategies to help you remain centered and calm during thunderstorms 1. Prepare ...
Under particular conditions, extreme low-temperature, precipitation, and freezing-weather events can occur over an extensive area to form a combined meteorological disaster. For example, in January 2008, southern China experienced record-breaking long-lasting severe low temperatures, precipitation, and freezing weather with freezing rain. Since the beginning of the current century, this type of disaster, referred to as ...
Weather forecasts have become less accurate during the COVID-19 pandemic due to the reduction in commercial flights, according to new research. A new study in AGU’s journal Geophysical Research Letters finds the world lost 50-75 percent of its aircraft weather observations between March and May of this year, when many flights were grounded due to the pandemic. Aircraft ...
Lightning is a spectacular natural phenomenon. It is closely associated with the electrification and discharge of thunderstorms. Different types of thunderstorms correspond to different lightning characteristics and charge structures. Their data are proving to be quite useful. But what are their characteristics in different types of thunderstorms? To address this question, scientists attempted to depict ...
Latai Taumoepeau is a Tongan Australian artist who is best known for performance art that explores the themes of race, power, and climate change. She believes that artists can play a key role in aiding communities affected by the devastation triggered by changing weather patterns. Art and climate change Taumoepeau is one of the core ...
In the past year, Australia has been plagued by bushfires, heavy storms, floods, and droughts. Such drastic changes in weather have left the country reeling under immense stress. Not only has extreme weather caused huge economic damage, but it is also making life unpredictable. And the reason for such rapid weather variance seems to be ...
You’ve probably seen satellite images that show severe storms like hurricanes developing — thick white clouds clumping together, arms spinning around a central eye as it heads for the coast. After decades of research, meteorologists still have questions about how hurricanes develop. Now, Florida State University researchers have found that even the smallest changes in ...
Winter weather patterns in North America are dictated by changes to the polar vortex winds high in the atmosphere, but the most significant cold snaps are more likely influenced by the tropics, scientists have found. A team led by the University of Reading conducted the first-ever study to identify how the four main winter weather ...
El Niños have become more intense in the industrial age, which stands to worsen storms, drought, and coral bleaching in El Niño years. A new study has found compelling evidence in the Pacific Ocean that the stronger El Niños are part of a climate pattern that is new and strange. It is the first known ...
Powerful storms that cause extreme weather conditions — such as flooding across Europe and North America, with the potential to wreak social and economic havoc — could increase threefold by the end of the 21st century due to climate change. Pioneering new research, led by Dr. Matt Hawcroft from the University of Exeter, has shown new and ...
