Record cold mesosphere leads to a higher frequency of noctilucent clouds (NLC) appearance this summer
Mesosphere is getting cold. Actually, very cold. Satellite observations over the past few weeks have revealed very low temperatures at polar latitudes – between 60 degrees and 80 degrees...
Arctic on fire: Siberian wildfires expand dramatically, sending a smoke cloud towards Canada and the United States
Record-breaking temperatures in the Russian Arctic region and Siberia continue to remain much higher than normal which has contributed to an increase of hundreds of wildfires. The Siberia wildfires...

Saharan cloud event forecast: The dust cloud will stay over the south USA until Tuesday, as a new dust wave is already approaching the Caribbean
The Saharan dust cloud has now reached the Gulf of Mexico and the southern coastal areas of the USA. Unhealthy concentrations of PM particles are already being detected...
*EXTREME* Siberian #heatwave – Verhojansk hits +38.0 °C = 100.4 °F and shatters all-time heat record of the Arctic Circle
A northeastern Siberian town Verkhojansk likely set a record for the highest temperature ever documented in the Arctic Circle. A historic heatwave has developed over Arctic Russia this month...
An unusually large Saharan dust cloud is moving across the Atlantic. It will reach Carribeans and the southern United States by the end of the week!
Saharan dust cloud events across the Atlantic Ocean are not uncommon. But currently, there is a massive Saharan dust cloud moving across the Atlantic Ocean, and it will reach...
*North Atlantic* The Gulf Stream cools unusually, as low-pressure systems bring colder air out of North America, impacting the ocean current
The pressure patterns in the past few weeks were very dynamic. Especially over North America, we witnessed strong low-pressure systems over the east/northeast parts. These low-pressure systems transported colder...
The Arctic circle undergoes a strong warming event, as a powerful high-pressure system warms up the polar region, boosting the ice melt season
The Arctic circle is quite warmer than normal this year. The pressure patterns are allowing warmer air to be transported into the region. The past few days are featuring...
