Science continues to evolve at a rapid pace, and I think this development is cool. In a time when our shifting weather patterns demand urgent and informed action, NASA and IBM have teamed up to create a tool that could transform how we predict and respond to weather...
NOAA has released its new report about what to expect this Fall. There is a 66% chance of La Niña developing during the September -November 2024 period, with the likelihood of it persisting through the winter. But what is La Nina, and what type of weather does it...
