NORTHLAND FORECAST FOR MAY 2, 2025:
A #storm system will push #rain #showers through the #Northland Thursday night, keeping a light #breeze going, and drop #temperatures to the 30s for lows.
Some #snowflakes could mix in with showers Friday morning before they leave in the afternoon. #Winds will calm as high temperatures remain #cool in the 40s and low 50s.

Acc/to Wiedenmann, #CoralReefs support a third of all #marine #biodiversity either directly or indirectly. “If the #corals die, this support structure that provides food & homes is lost. Consequently, many #species will suffer, as well,” he said. Acc/to a 2020 study, rising #sea surface #temperatures & acidic waters could eliminate nearly all surviving #coral #reef #habitats by 2100.
Mass #CoralBleaching has frequently coincided w/episodes of #ElNiño, a global #climate pattern that usually increases #temperatures. That was the case in 1998, 2016 & again last year, which was the warmest year on record.
#Oceans have been steadily absorbing rising temperatures for years, but in 2023 & 2024, temps broke records w/spikes that alarmed scientists. #Seas are also becoming more acidic as they warm, which can dissolve corals’ skeletons & make it harder for them to grow.
#ClimateCrisis
“Bleaching becomes more severe if either the #heat stress episodes are more intense or if they last for a longer time,” Joerg Wiedenmann, a marine biologist who heads the #CoralReef Lab at the University of Southampton in England, said….
The #Earth’s rising #temperatures have caused bleaching events to occur more often & last longer, he said. The changing & mixing of #ocean currents can also influence regional water temperatures, he added, further increasing the risk of bleaching.
#ClimateCrisis
“The ongoing global #CoralBleaching event is the biggest to date,” #NOAA scientists said.
Bleaching occurs when #heat upends the #coral’s metabolism, causing it to turn white as it expels the symbiotic algae that provide it with nutrients & color. Bleaching doesn’t mean the coral has died, but prolonged bleaching — which scientists say is made more frequent & severe by rising #sea #temperatures — can kill it.
Largest #coral bleaching event on record harms 84% of #global #reefs
Bleached coral dies when exposed to #heat stress for too long, threatening the bountiful #marine #ecosystem that depends on it for survival.
#CoralReefs around the world are losing their color at an unprecedented scale as a result of rising #sea #temperatures, marine scientists announced this week, w/ 84% of reefs exposed to bleaching levels of heat since 2023.

As climate change causes ocean temperatures to rise, coral bleaching events are expected to become more frequent. So, scientists are looking for ways to help coral reefs recover more quickly, and a new study from Japan suggests that artificial structures like breakwaters may be helpful.

Fifty years from now, in 2075, the world will be considerably hotter, perhaps as much as 3-5° Celsius (4.5 to 9° Fahrenheit) above the pre-industrial average.
Experts say we need to focus on building greater resilience into ecosystems now to help species get through the next half century.

‘Exceptional’ – Ongoing Global Heat Streak Defies Climate Predictions : ScienceAlert…
Global #temperatures hovered at historic highs in March, the EU agency that monitors #climatechange said on Tuesday, prolonging an unprecedented #heat streak that has pushed the bounds of scientific explanation... #C3S #globalwarming #elniño
Global temperatures hit historic highs for March.
Global temperatures remained at historic highs in March, extending an unprecedented heat streak, Europe's Copernicus Climate Change Service reported Tuesday.
Europe experienced its warmest March on record by a significant margin, intensifying unusual rainfall patterns across the rapidly warming continent.
New projections reveal a 4°C rise in global #temperatures would cut world #GDP by 40% by 2100. The results support limiting #globalwarming to 1.7 °C. In a hotter future, extreme weather events worldwide can trigger cascading #supplychain disruptions… (1/2) www.unsw.edu.au/newsroom/new...

NORTHLAND FORECAST FOR APRIL 3, 2025:
#Snow #showers will persist through the #Northland Wednesday night as they become lighter and more scattered. #Winds remain #strong with gusts over 30 mph with lows just below the freezing point.
Thursday will see the snow move out with a bit of #sunshine after noon. Winds remain breezy as #temperatures #warm to the upper 30s and low 40s for highs.

#Butterflies in the #US are disappearing at a ‘catastrophic’ rate
Butterflies are rapidly fluttering out of existence from coast to coast at a rate that scientists worry could upend #ecosystems & undercut #pollination that sustains America’s #crops.
The total number of butterflies in the contiguous US has declined 22% over a 20yr period, as shrinking #habitat, rising #temperatures & a #toxic array of #pesticides kill off the delicate insects.

NORTHLAND FORECAST FOR MARCH 6, 2025:
A #high-pressure system will #clear #clouds across the #Northland Wednesday night and #calm #winds. Low #temperatures will drop to the teens and upper single digits.
A weak #front will bring some clouds back to the region Thursday, but we remain #dry as a #breeze returns. Highs will #warm back to the 30s.

NORTHLAND FORECAST FOR FEBRUARY 25, 2025:
A #cold #front will pass through the #Northland Monday night. We will see a few #flurries and #calming #winds as #temperatures #cool to the 20s for lows.
Tuesday will see a weak high-pressure system keep the region #dry under mostly #cloudy skies and light winds. Highs will be in the upper 30s and low 40s.
