There’s more than just ENSO in the tropical climate neighborhood. Our blogger discusses an Indian Ocean climate pattern that had an important impact on Australia’s catastrophic 2019 bushfire season.
In 2019, the U.S. experienced 14 separate disasters costing at least a billion dollars each. Since 1980, 258 billion-dollar disasters have brought damages in excess of $1.75 trillion.
ENSO-neutral is expected to last through spring 2020. See why in our latest ENSO blog and stay for some ENSO trivia.
A blog post on the Blob. Blob, Blob, Blob. But here's why you shouldn't call it the Blob.
With the annual updating of NCEI’s climate trends maps, let’s go Beyond the Data to a land of seesaws and duct tape.
Many networks across the U.S. collect air temperature and precipitation observations we use to characterize these events. But only NCEI's U.S. Climate Reference Network (USCRN) was designed with lab-calibrated sensors--in triplicate--to ensure a high-quality, continuous record of U.S. climate.
NCEI's Anthony Arguez uses a new dataset for tracking hot and cold extremes to provide a preliminary analysis of the Arctic blast that hit the Midwest and other parts of the eastern United States in late January 2019.
If the recent weather whiplash has left you wondering how U.S. winters are changing over time, NOAA climate maps tell the story.
New research suggests the climate change could affect how ENSO impacts temperature and wildfires. Read on to learn what that means.
La Niña usually means a drier than average water year for California. So what happened in 2016-2017 when a weak La Niña coincided with a remarkably wet water year?
