El Niño conditions are developing across the tropical Pacific Ocean, with meteorological agencies warning of a high probability of a sustained event forming in the coming months. The emerging pattern signals a shift in sea surface temperatures and atmospheric circulation that can influence weather......
China's National Climate Centre officially declared on Friday that surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific have entered an El Niño state, warning that the phenomenon will develop into a moderate or stronger event over the summer, peak in autumn and winter, and gradually weaken by next......
California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency in Orange County following a chemical leak that raised fears of a possible explosion in the Greater Los Angeles region. The emergency measure comes after authorities detected a leak in a large storage tank containing hazardous material......
A magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck the island of Hawaii on Friday, according to the United States Geological Survey, shaking parts of the island without causing immediate reports of damage or injuries. The seismic event occurred at a depth of approximately 22.4 kilometers, about 12 kilometers south of......
The earliest known eukaryotes on Earth, the ancestors of all complex life including animals, plants and fungi, lived in shallow oxygen-rich seafloors nearly 1.75 billion years ago, according to a new study published in Nature. The findings challenge long-standing theories that early complex organisms......
Global sea levels have risen at an average rate of roughly 2 millimeters per year since 1960, but the pace has accelerated sharply in recent decades, according to a new study published in Science Advances. Researchers found that the annual rate of sea level rise almost doubled between 2005 and 2023 compared......
New York hosted the 21st session of the United Nations Forum on Forests from 11 to 15 May 2026. Morocco played a visible role in the proceedings through the participation of the Director General of the National Agency for Water and Forests. He acted as Vice President of the Forum Bureau and facilitated......
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has sharply increased the probability of an El Niño developing in 2026, signaling growing concern that the climate phenomenon could become one of the strongest recorded in modern history. The agency’s Climate Prediction Center now estimates......
Climate models are rapidly converging toward the emergence of a powerful El Niño event later this year, as ocean temperatures across the equatorial Pacific accelerate beyond earlier forecasts. Updated projections from the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts now place the probability......
Satellite imagery captured on May 6 by the European Space Agency's Copernicus Sentinel-2 program has revealed a dark slick west of Kharg Island, Iran's main crude oil export hub, covering an estimated area exceeding 120 square kilometers. The discovery comes as an American naval blockade, imposed......
Up to one in six plant species on Earth could be condemned to extinction by the end of this century as climate change destroys the habitats they depend on, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Science. The research, conducted by scientists at the University of California, Davis, represents......
Meteorologists are issuing increasingly urgent warnings as the latest long-range forecasting models point to the possible formation later this year of a potentially record-breaking El Niño event, with some projections suggesting it could rank among the most intense in more than a century. The......
Authorities in California have declared a state of emergency following the rapid spread of an invasive species known as the golden mussel in the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta. Officials warn that the situation poses a serious threat to water systems, ecosystems, and infrastructure across the region. The......
