It’s odd to hear the crunch of dry leaves underfoot in the northern forest while green leaves are still on the trees. But with drought deepening in the northern half of Wisconsin, crunching leaves underfoot are heard all the way to the Lake Superior coastline. By the start of September, the …
The heat waves roiling Western Europe this summer toppled an average temperature record for the June-July period set in 2022, according to the European climate agency Copernicus. The extreme heat began in May and has contributed to major wildfires, prolonged drought and new national temperat…
Some residents have been allowed to return to their homes — or what's left of them — after the Bradley Creek wildfire ripped through communities near Vernon, B.C. Amid the devastation and growing concerns over climate change, some are worried about the future of their community.
Firefighters across Europe battled multiple fires August 14 as a new wave of record-breaking heat baked a swath of the continent. The historic temperatures are linked to human-caused climate change, and are hitting countries better suited for long cold seasons and ill-equipped for such extre…
(CNN) — Lake Powell, the second-largest reservoir in the United States, provides water and electricity to millions in the West. It has now has shrunk to its lowest level on record, in the latest sign of the alarming crisis unfolding on the drought-stricken Colorado River.
The noticeable switch from hot and humid weather to cool and drier weather, and back again, brought hope of rain as July melted into August in far-northern Wisconsin. Unfortunately the hope of rain did not turn into actual moisture for most. Much of northern Wisconsin remains dry with large …
Dangerous heat has been spreading across much of the United States as a prolonged heat wave spread from the western United States eastward to the Midwest and South.
As the third week in July began, a heat dome moved into the Upper Midwest. Much of Wisconsin had already become abnormally dry early in July with hot weather and dry winds moving parts of the state rapidly toward drought status. Much of northern Minnesota had slipped into a flash drought.
June was unusual in northern Wisconsin. During the month much of the middle of North America, including most of Wisconsin, had very hot days early on followed by record coolness as the jet stream sagged south. The sag of the jet stream allowed cold and dry northern air to drift down over the…
February 2026 was nominally the second-warmest February on record, behind February 2024, with a monthly global average of about 2.78 degrees warmer than the 1850-1900 average. But it only marginally exceeded the conditions in February 2025 and 2016, so all three of those years could be consi…
Climate change is supercharging the water cycle, bringing heavier rainfall extremes and related flood risks across the United States. Some 129 U.S. cities – 90 percent of 144 analyzed –have experienced an increase in hourly rainfall intensity since 1970. Across those 129 locations, hourly ra…
May in far-northern Wisconsin was damp and cool. Many mornings the air over land along Lake Superior almost invited Jack Frost for a late visit. It seemed like the liquid in outdoor thermometers was influenced more by gravity than by heat. Lake Superior surface-water temperatures in some are…
