How Climate Change And Warming Oceans Led To Kolkata's Historic Downpour
As Kolkata begins to mop up after one of its worst deluges in recent memory, scientists warn that such extreme weather events are no longer anomalies - they are becoming the new normal.

Explained: Why India's Monsoons Are Now Deadlier And More Unpredictable
Monsoon rainfall is becoming more erratic, with intense downpours followed by dry spells. This variability affects agriculture, water systems, and disaster preparedness.

Global Warming Is Changing Cloud Patterns. That Means More Global Warming
At any given time, about two-thirds of Earths surface is covered by clouds. Overall, they make the planet much cooler than it would be without them.

"Planetary Threat": Scientists Exploring How To Beat Heat For Better Sleep
"Rising temperatures induced by climate change and urbanisation pose a planetary threat to human sleep, and therefore health, performance, and wellbeing," according to a 2024 review of scientific literature published in the journal Sleep Medicine.

Antarctic Ice Melt Weakens Strongest Ocean Current, Disrupting Global Circulation
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the planet’s most powerful ocean circulation system, could slow by 20 percent by 2050 due to melting Antarctic ice. Researchers suggest that the influx of fresh, cold water is disrupting convection, altering global ocean density. A weaker current may allow warm water to reach Antarctica, accelerating ice loss an...

Arabia Had Five Times More Rainfall 400 Years Ago, Study Finds
Research reveals Arabia's climate was drastically wetter 400 years ago, resembling a savannah with thriving wildlife. Sediment cores from the Gulf of Aqaba confirm fluctuating rainfall patterns over centuries. Experts highlight the importance of climate resilience as urbanisation progresses. The study emphasises the need for better flood and drough...

Exoplanet WASP-121 b’s Atmosphere Features Iron Rains, Jet Streams, and More
Astronomers have uncovered extreme weather patterns on WASP-121 b, a gas giant 900 light-years from Earth. The planet experiences iron rain, with metals vaporizing on its scorching dayside and condensing into liquid at night. Supersonic winds carry elements across its atmosphere, forming powerful jet streams. Using the Very Large Telescope, researc...
