UN issues new climate warning as El Niño looms
Mark Poynting, Climate researcher, March 23, 2026
"The Earth's climate is further out of balance than at any time in recorded history, the UN's weather agency has warned.
"The World Meteorological Organization says that our planet is gaining much more heat energy than it can release, driven by emissions of warming gases such as carbon dioxide.
"This record 'energy imbalance' heated the ocean to new heights last year and continued to melt our planet's ice caps.
"And scientists fear that a natural warming phase called El Niño – expected to begin later this year - could soon bring further heat records."

#Arizona community hits 110 degrees F, the highest March temperature recorded in the US
THERMAL, Calif. (AP) — "A desert community in southwestern Arizona reached 110 degrees (43.3 C) on Thursday, breaking a record for the highest March temperature recorded in the United States.
The record-setting temperature was recorded just outside #MartinezLakeAZ, in the #YumaDesert, as a winter heat wave scorched the Southwest, according to the National Weather Service. The community is about 145 miles (233 kilometers) west of Phoenix and sits on the Arizona-California border.
The previous record of 108 degrees (42.2 C) had been set in Rio Grande City, Texas, in 1954 and was tied Wednesday by the tiny desert community of North Shore, California.
By Thursday, several more #California locations had hit 108 degrees (42.2 C). Among them were #CathedralCity, near the desert destination of Palm Springs, and the aptly named town of Thermal, northeast of San Diego. The triple-digit temperatures came on the last day of winter.
Thermal was forecast to hit 110 (43.3 C) on Friday and could tie the record.
" 'For some perspective, the average first 105-degree day of the year normally occurs on May 22nd,' NWS said in a statement."

Record-shattering March scorcher: 70 million to bake in summerlike #HeatDome into weekend
Record-challenging heat will surge across the Southwest this week as a stubborn heat dome sends temperatures into the 90s and even past 100 degrees in some cities, levels more typical of late spring or early summer.
By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist
Published Mar 16, 2026 2:39 PM EDT | Updated Mar 16, 2026 3:55 PM EDT
" Much of the Southwest will jump from springlike conditions to summerlike heat this week, with temperatures climbing well into the 90s in many areas and even topping 100 degrees in some locations which are more typical of early summer. The heat dome will have staying power and may not begin to weaken until this weekend to early next week.A burst of summerlike heat will build across the Southwest this week, pushing temperatures in many areas into the 90s and some past 100 degrees. Monthly records may be challenged, and the heat could hold into the weekend or early next week"

Summerlike heat dome to send #Southwest temperatures soaring past 100 F
A strengthening #HeatDome will send temperatures soaring into the 90s and past 100 degrees across the Southwest, threatening records, accelerating snowmelt and raising #wildfire risk now, then #WaterSupply concerns later.
By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist
Published Mar 13, 2026"Temperatures will climb well into the 90s, with some areas forecast to top 100 degrees Fahrenheit through next week. While those numbers may not seem extreme for the southwestern United States, they are running one to two months ahead of historical averages and could have implications for wildfire risk and water supplies across the interior Southwest later this year.
"A persistent area of high pressure at multiple levels of the atmosphere, known as a heat dome, will intensify in the coming days and may be slow to break down."

US weather to go nuts with blizzard, polar vortex, heat dome, atmospheric river all at once
By SETH BORENSTEIN
Updated 12:03 AM EDT, March 13, 2026"Nearly every part of the United States is getting walloped by wild weather or just about to be.
"Days of downpours have begun in #Hawaii. The #Southwest will soon bake with day after day of record 100-degree-plus (38 Celsius-plus) #heat. Two storms will dump snow by the foot over northern #GreatLakes states. And the dreaded #PolarVortex will again invade the Midwest and East with soul-crushing #ArcticChill.
"This forecast of extremes comes as weather whiplash already hit much of the East. On Wednesday, Washington, D.C. residents walked around in shorts in record-breaking 86 degrees Fahrenheit (about 30 Celsius). On Thursday, it snowed.
" 'All of the country, even if you’re not necessarily seeing extremes, are going to see generally changing from cold to warm, or warm to cold to warm,' said meteorologist Marc Chenard of the weather service’s Weather Prediction Center in Maryland.
"Former National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief scientist Ryan Maue said he expects extreme weather in all 50 states."

#Greenland and #Iceland saw #RecordHeat in May. What does that mean for the world?
By ISABELLA O’MALLEY
Updated 1:42 PM EDT, June 11, 2025"Human-caused #ClimateChange boosted Iceland and Greenland ’s temperatures by several degrees during a record-setting May #heatwave, raising concerns about the far-reaching implications melting #ArcticIce has for weather around the world, scientists said in an analysis released Wednesday.
"The Greenland ice sheet melted many times faster than normal during the heat wave, according to the analysis by World Weather Attribution, with at least two communities seeing record temperatures for May. Parts of Iceland saw temperatures more than 10°C (18 °F) above average, and the country set a record for its warmest temperature in May when Egilsstadir Airport hit 26.6°C (79.9 F) on May 15.
"The findings come as global leaders put more focus on Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of Denmark, following U.S. President Donald Trump’s comments that he would like to annex the mineral-rich island.
"Burning #FossilFuels for electricity and transportation releases pollutants such as carbon dioxide that cause the planet to warm unnaturally fast. The Arctic is one of the fastest-warming places on Earth.
"Even in today’s climate, the occurrence of such a strong heat wave in the region is relatively rare, with a 1% chance of occurring in a year, the analysis said. But without human-caused climate change, such an event would be “basically impossible,” said Friederike Otto, associate professor of climate science at Imperial College London, one of the report’s authors.
"The extreme heat was 40 times more likely compared to the pre-industrial climate.
Global impacts from a melting Arctic
"Otto said this extreme weather event affects the world.
"As the Greenland ice sheet melts, it releases massive amounts of fresh water into the salty oceans. Scientists say this could slow down the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation [#AMOC], an ocean current that circulates water from the Gulf of Mexico across the Atlantic Ocean to Europe and then the Arctic.
"Such a slowdown could disturb global climate and weather patterns.
“The nature of weather in the Northern Hemisphere is directly tied to what’s happening in the Arctic, because that ice floor basically at the bottom of the atmosphere helps determine the weather patterns that we get,” said Waleed Abdalati, who heads an environmental sciences institute at the University of Colorado Boulder. He was not involved in the WWA analysis.
"The Greenland ice sheet and other ice covering the Arctic can influence where and when wind blows, how much water content the wind has and whether precipitation falls as rain or snow.
"Most of the melting of the Greenland ice sheet happens in June, July and August. The May heat wave means there will be a longer melting season this year.
"Melting ice sheets and glaciers also contribute to #SeaLevelRise that is threatening to flood coastlines globally and inundate low-lying island nations in the Pacific Ocean.
"#Indigenous communities in Greenland are increasingly encountering dangerous travel conditions as sea ice that was once constantly frozen begins to thaw. Access to traditional hunting locations are lost, and sled dogs can no longer travel the same routes. Thawing #permafrost can destabilize buildings and increases the risk of #landslides and #tsunamis caused by landslides."

#Denver to hit 100 degrees as heat surges to new heights in central US later this week
The #HeatWave in the central United States will occur around the time of the year when the sun is highest in the sky and can make for sweltering to dangerous conditions.
By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist
Published Jun 15, 2025
"The hottest weather of the season so far will build over the central United States later this week with widespread highs in the 90s Fahrenheit and some 100-degree readings in store from the Rockies to the Mississippi Valley, AccuWeather meteorologists say."
[...]
"Many locations will easily experience their hottest weather of the year so far. St. Louis, for example, has not yet hit 90 degrees this year as of June 15. After a brief taste of 90-degree weather on Tuesday, from late this week into the following week, highs well into the 90s are forecast. "
