Forecasters predict #wildfires, #floods, severe #heatwaves from incoming #ElNiño
Ocean heat plus human-caused #globalwarming is a grim recipe for deadly #climate extremes.
El Niño is the warm phase of a semi-regular temperature oscillation in the tropical Pacific Ocean, during which massive amounts of heat stored in the ocean are released into the atmosphere, temporarily raising the average annual global surface temperature by as much as 0.3 Fahrenheit.

The coming #ElNiño could be the strongest in over a century.

Warming water in part of the #PacificOcean is raising the odds for the biggest El Niño on record. The #weather pattern could fully form by July.

It could lead to record high global #temperatures & #food shortages, & shift patterns of #droughts, #floods, humidity & #SeaIce across the planet.

@BashStKid This is #Devon #rain #floods #fields #food there are roads narrow enough to surprise visitors partly due to the high banks, hedges etc.

Too much rain for them.

While one may stop the rain running out of the field, it forms a puddle, lake, unmanageable anaerobic mess, within the field, where crops were hoped for.

Reducing the water landing in the field, whatever one does with it, is worth thinking about, I think.

It's fifty-five days since my house flooded. Since then, I've lived in hotels, with friends, on volunteering retreats and - mostly - in a series of one- or two-week AirBnB-style short-term lets. It's been wild. It's also been wildly disruptive. To our work. To our kids. To our general stability.

Today, we make a change. Today we're moving into a medium-term let: sonewhere we can stay for the... say... six months or so it'll take to actually repair our house so we can move back in. We'll have our own space again in a way we haven't in a couple of months.

I know the hard work isn't done. Our house is still a wreck! But it feels like, perhaps, we're beginning the second act of the three-act play "The Year Of The Flood". And that feels like progress.

Right, I'd better go move house! (for like the seventh time this year...)

A deluge of timber: From vanishing forests to deadly disasters
"Mysterious sea of logs hit ‘powerless communities’ the hardest."

"From vanishing forests to deadly disasters Houses were swept away and large logs came with the flood, crashing into homes and carrying them off. We don’t exactly know where the logs came from … there is a palm oil plantation upstream, it’s several thousand hectares.”

"And those who suffer most are not the perpetrators or the investors. It’s the powerless communities,” Muhadi Bukhari said. Another Indonesian environmental NGO, Wahli, described the disaster not just as “nature’s fury” but one that was “amplified by decades of deforestation”. >>

How #LandRestoration is strengthening #ecosystems and #communities across #Africa

June 16, 2025

"Across Africa, land degradation and #ClimateChange are converging to create a growing crisis. Unsustainable land use, #deforestation and #SoilErosion have left millions of hectares barren, stripping communities of the natural resources they rely on. Meanwhile, the impacts of climate change – shifting rainfall patterns, rising temperatures and more frequent #droughts and #floods – are compounding pressures on #agriculture and water resources.

"Today, an estimated 65 percent of Africa's land is impacted by land degradation and drought, affecting more than 400 million people and causing economic losses exceeding US$70 billion each year.

"Governments across the continent are increasingly prioritizing land restoration as a national and regional imperative by pioneering policies, partnerships and investments to reverse degradation and strengthen #ClimateChangeAdaptation and #resilience. This brings tangible benefits for both people and nature, helping to secure food systems, create economic opportunities and strengthen communities against #ClimateShocks.

With support from the Global Environment Facility’s Least Developed Countries Fund and UNDP, #Ethiopia, #Rwanda and #Senegal are transforming degraded landscapes into a source of stability and productivity, their experience offering a replicable model for other nations confronting similar challenges."

Here's what to know as the scope of damage from #Hawaii's #floods becomes clearer

By AUDREY McAVOY and GENE JOHNSON
March 23, 2026 at 3:18 pm PDT

HONOLULU — "The worst #flooding to hit Hawaii in two decades swept homes off their foundations, floated cars out of driveways and left floors, walls and counters covered in thick, reddish volcanic mud.

"Crews continued to assess the destruction Monday, but authorities said hundreds of homes had been damaged, along with some schools and a hospital.

"No deaths have been reported, but more than 230 people had to be rescued. Rain continued to the southeastern part of the state and a section of the #BigIsland was under a #FlashFlood warning.

"Gov. Josh Green said the cost of the storm could top $1 billion, including damage to airports, schools, roads, homes and a Maui hospital in Kula. He called it the state’s most serious since flooding since 2004, when floods in Manoa inundated homes and a University of Hawaii library.

"On Oahu's North Shore, famed for big wave surfing, the waters rose quickly after midnight Friday as heavy rains fell on soil already saturated by downpours from a winter storm a week earlier. Raging waters lifted homes and cars. The storm prompted evaluation orders for 5,500 people north of Honolulu — though they were later lifted — and more than 230 people were rescued from the rising waters.

"Some residents fled on surfboards as water reached waist or chest high.

"Farms around the state reported more than $9.4 million worth of damage as of Monday, according to a survey conducted by Agriculture Stewardship Hawaii, the Hawaii Farm Bureau and other organizations. Oahu farmers reported more than $2.7 million in crop damage.
Winter storm systems brought severe deluges

"Officials blamed some of the devastation on the sheer amount of rain that fell in a short amount of time.

"Parts of Oahu received 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 centimeters), the National Weather Service said. That was on top of another recent storm that had dumped vast amounts days earlier. Kaala, the island’s highest peak, got nearly 16 inches (40 centimeters) late last week, on top of 26.6 inches (67.6 centimeters) between March 10 and 16.

"Winter storm systems known as '#Kona lows,' which feature southerly or southwesterly winds that bring in moisture-laden air, have been responsible for the deluges in the past two weeks. The intensity and frequency of heavy rains in Hawaii have increased amid human-caused #GlobalWarming, experts say.

"The worst of the storms appeared to be over by Sunday afternoon."
