  7. #India - Farmers devastated after 80% of key crops are wiped out — here's what happened

    Story by Tina Deines, February 4, 2026

    "#TomatoFarmers in one region in India are struggling after their crops were hit hard by #pests and #climatic factors.

    What's happening?

    "The Pioneer reported on the challenging growing season for farmers around the town of #Gaulapar in northern India, an area that is known for tomato production. According to growers there, about 80% of their cultivated tomatoes have been damaged by pests.

    "The publication also lists '#ClimaticFactors' as a challenge for tomato farmers. For one, young tomato plants suffered damage in the initial phase of cultivation due to #HighTemperatures during the planting season.

    Why is this crop damage concerning?

    "According to the publication, the drop in tomato yields has led to surging prices at the market, affecting consumers. While some farmers are benefitting from higher prices, most are suffering due to the crop damage they've endured.

    "This is yet the latest example of the struggles facing food producers worldwide and the cascading impacts they have on consumers.

    "One recent study tied recent dramatic price increases in staple foods to rising global temperatures, which are leading to prolonged droughts, more severe heat waves, unpredictable precipitation patterns, and other severe weather. For instance, #Malaysians are facing soaring prices at the supermarket after a heavy #monsoon season wiped out a number of local #crops."

  9. 2025 was one of three hottest years on record, scientists say

    By Alexa St. John
    Dec. 30, 2025 6 AM PT

    "#ExtremeWeather events kill thousands of people and cost billions of dollars in damage annually.

    "#WWA scientists identified 157 extreme weather events as most severe this year, meaning they met criteria such as causing more than 100 deaths, affecting more than half an area’s population or leading to a state of emergency being declared. Of those they closely analyzed 22.

    "That included dangerous #HeatWaves, which the WWA said were the world’s deadliest extreme weather events this year. The researchers said some of the heat waves they studied were 10 times more likely than they would have been a decade ago because of #ClimateChange.

    " 'The heat waves we have observed this year are quite common events in our climate today, but they would have been almost impossible to occur without human-induced climate change,' Otto said. 'It makes a huge difference.'
    Prolonged drought contributed to #wildfires that scorched #Greece and #Turkey. Torrential rains and #flooding in #Mexico killed dozens of people and left many more missing. #SuperTyphoon #FungWong slammed the #Philippines, forcing more than a million people to evacuate. #Monsoon rains battered #India with floods and landslides.

    "The WWA said the increasingly frequent and severe extremes threatened the ability of millions of people across the globe to respond and adapt to those events with enough warning, time and resources, what the scientists call 'limits of adaptation.' The report pointed to #HurricaneMelissa as an example: The storm intensified so quickly that it made forecasting and planning more difficult, and pummeled #Jamaica, #Cuba and #Haiti so severely that it left the small island nations unable to respond to and handle its extreme losses and damage.

    @ai6yr For the west coast residents, Ben's Disaster preparedness list needs to include a (inflatable) boat, though it would be hard to fit it into a stocking.

  11. Monsoon is officially over in southern New Mexico.

    This trace of dewpoint (blue line) over the last week shows that dewpoint has dropped from late-monsoon-soggy to desert-dry conditions. No more dew-covered roof at sunrise.

  12. Not a Monsoon, but it gave me an idea of one.

    RAIN'S REIN

    Leaves descending in Monsoon-like rains
    Bellwether of the coming frost
    Like salmon I walk upstream
    And smile brightly as I
    Wave the geese farewell
    A rehearsal
    For coming
    Winter
    Days

  13. Another dynamic monsoon afternoon in southern New Mexico.

    Looking north, a wall of thunderstorms is moving toward us...and from the high terrain you can see them coming from quite a long way off.

    Looking west, the gust front from the advancing storms is kickup up clouds of gypsum dust on the northern edge of White Sands.

    [Update: two hours later this line of storms produced this image: universeodon.com/@KrajciTom/11 ]

  14. The moisture plume from post-tropical cyclone Lorena has moved into the mountains of southern New Mexico.

    It's foggy, 47F, and slowly drizzling. We are getting needed moisture slowly. If it remains a drizzle, there should be no flash flooding.

  15. This all-sky/fisheye view of the sky is very unusual for New Mexico, especially during monsoon season.

    Monsoon skies often feature lots of convection, cumulus clouds against blue skies, towering thunderstorms, localized rainstorms.

    This sky is a uniform gray.

    Tropical storm Lorena is pushing a solid layer of clouds into this region.

    It's also pushing a plume of moisture that's causing a uniform, steady, slow rainfall. The weather radar image shows how different that precipitation pattern is compared to the localized afternoon monsoon pattern of thunderstorms is over Arizona and northern New Mexico.

  18. Sierra Blanca peak is hidden by many small cumulus clouds, but it's flanks are still visible 25 miles away.

    It's monsoon season in southern New Mexico. In a few hours we will have thunderstorms dumping rain and causing flash flooding in places like Ruidoso.

  19. Die #Klimakrise trifft #China.

    Heftiger #Starkregen in #Nordchina hat mindestens zwei Todesopfer gefordert und Tausende zur Evakuierung gezwungen.

    Besonders betroffen ist die Region um #Baoding, wo stellenweise innerhalb weniger Stunden mehr #Regen fiel als im gesamten Jahresdurchschnitt.

    Behörden warnen vor weiteren #Überschwemmungen und #Erdrutschen, auch in #Peking und #Hebei.

  20. Extremes of monsoon flooding and wildland fire is on full display in the southwest US.

    The daytime weather satellite image shows all of New Mexico (except the northeast corner) covered with monsoon storms. Ruidoso is once again flooded, now with widespread power outages.

  22. Monsoon thunderstorms are growing rapidly over the mountains of southern New Mexico.

    Ruidoso is under yet another flood watch.

    Ruidoso horse racing has been moved to Albuquerque...again.

    "It marks the second straight year that the All American races have been moved from their home at Ruidoso Downs. The race track and property suffered significant damage from the flooding event that occurred on Tuesday, July 8th which has made the current racing season impossible to continue."

  23. Sunrise on Sierra Blanca peak in southern New Mexico is muted and hazy because of smoke from distant forest fires.

    It's feast or famine in the southwest US. If it's dry in the summer, many fires burn and the air is filled with smoke. When monsoon rains return, and they will in a day or two, thunderstorms over recent burn scars lead to destructive flash flooding, especially for Ruidoso.

  24. Four in a row in the evening twilight sky.

    Mercury, the two-day old crescent moon, Pollux, and Castor lined up this evening from left to right, and showed themselves in a gap in the dissipating monsoon storm clouds.

    (2nd, 3rd, and 4th photos) A four-ship of F-16's were returning home to Holloman Air Force Base just as the moon was dropping into the clear patch of sky. Bonus!

  25. A monsoon thunderstorm kicks low clouds and fog ahead of it as an outflow gust front develops from all the storm's cold air falling back down in the late/dissipating stage of the storm.

    These four photos were taken in the span of about one minute. The low clouds are about 20 miles away.
