Aging levees and dams are only the beginning of the risks communities face. One of the biggest challenges is helping people manage the heat and storms.
A new study connects early winter heat high up on the plateau to the jet stream and, ultimately, storms headed for the US coast. The results could mean better forecasts.
Cooler ocean temperatures east of the islands typically keep major hurricanes away, but El Niño is helping fuel this year’s risks.
Warming in the Eastern Pacific Ocean caused by El Niño created conditions for storms to develop in this region.
Scientists went to the heart of the El Niño pattern to learn from living and fossil corals. The results show El Niño’s intensifying coincides with global warming.
El Niño can trigger intense periods of extreme ocean warming known as marine heat waves that can devastate marine life.
"The science is clear: El Niño is arriving on our doorstep in the coming months with 90% certainty."
