The cool mist that settled over the Bay after a blistering March has lingered, turning cold breezes and light rain into everyday weather. Yet this chill is fading fast as a pressure ridge heads inland, signaling the return of heat. The official summer start on Sunday will bring temperatures up, thou
Scientists have long suspected that hotter weather makes people more aggressive. Most studies so far tested this idea in labs or looked at crime data, which doesn’t always show how people act in everyday life. Now, a new study dug into real-world sports to see if rising temperatures change how peopl
Climate change is a global problem that shifts how much rain falls and how hot it gets. Two districts in the Indian Himalayas – Solan in Himachal Pradesh and Tehri Garhwal in Uttarakhand – show different patterns of these shifts. Researchers used long‑term climate data from 1964 to 2023 and statisti
The western United States is in the middle of a heat wave that could reach over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. A warning has been issued for California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington because the high temperatures could cause serious health problems. In Nevada, cities such as Fallon, Fernley and Lovelock
The Met Office announced that a new spring temperature record was set in Cardiff, but the measurement site is far from ideal. Bute Park’s weather station sits next to a large plant nursery, where greenhouses keep their own climate under strict control. The station’s surroundings add to the pro
Right now, you might think the weather is perfect. Dinner outside feels great this evening. The air is dry, and temperatures are comfortable in the seventies. Overnight will stay cool and breezy for everyone. Think low sixties—perfect for letting all those windows open wide. But t
A shift in weather patterns is bringing two key ingredients together for a stormy end to the week across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions. After days of oppressive heat and high humidity, a cold front will collide with this air mass, sparking storms that could include damaging winds and hail.
The Eugene and Springfield area is set for a sharp rise in temperatures, moving from the mild 60s at the start of the week to scorching highs by mid‑week. The National Weather Service notes that after a cool, wet beginning, a multi‑day heat event will begin late in the week and extend into the weeke
Denver is bracing for a string of scorching days, with temperatures expected to hit the 90‑degree range across low elevations. The National Weather Service warned residents to drink plenty of water and avoid heavy outdoor work while the heat stays high from Sunday through Wednesday. Sunday’s foreca
A new design tweak in the tiny molecules of ether solvents lets sodium metal batteries stay reliable from -40 to 70°C. Scientists found that the usual weakly solvating ethers are too volatile, which makes them unsafe at high temperatures. By reshaping the ether molecules, they strengthened the
