Weather forecasters predict better services for women

Women suffer more from changing weather patterns, as their duties were not limited to agriculture. 
They are also responsible for cooking, childcare and water fetching

By
Meteorologists from around the world are meeting with women’s rights activists and aid workers in Geneva to develop climate and weather services geared specifically to women. The Nov. 5-7 conference will also discuss how to attract and promote more female scientists in meteorology and hydrology. Michel Jarraud, secretary general of the World Meteorological Organization (WMO),
Areas that have traditionally been considered drought prone could actually become wetter under climate change.  file photo

Climate change doesn’t follow the rules

New research suggests the drier-gets-drier and 
wet-becomes-wetter rule of thumb is broken

By
New research is challenging the theory that climate change will cause drier areas to get drier and wetter areas to become wetter. The simplified formula, based on models and observations, is inaccurate most of the time, a team of climate researchers suggests in Nature Geoscience. An evaluation of trends in specific regions’ humidity and dryness

Will this be the coldest winter since 1918?

December, January and February have all been below the average just three times

By
There has been a fair bit of talk and media coverage on the cold weather we, and much of central and eastern North America, have seen so far this winter. For this issue I thought I would dig into the weather data and try to see just how cold we have been. First of all,

No relief for Earth’s warming trend in 2013, studies find

It may have been cold here lately, but overall, the world keeps getting warmer

By
The average temperature of Earth maintained its warming trend in 2013, despite seasonal and regional variations that included a shrinking ice cap in the Arctic and a massively growing one in the Southern Hemisphere, U.S. scientists said Jan. 21. NASA said the planet’s average temperature in 2013 was 58.3 F (14.6 C), tying 2006 and

Temperature swings hard on insects

The research is changing how scientists view the effect of climate change on plants and animals

Many species of insects, including a wasp commonly used for biocontrol in Canada, are at risk due to increasing dramatic temperature changes related to global warming. Increasingly extreme swings in temperature may put some insects at higher risk than previously thought, according to a new study published today in the Proceedings of the Royal Society

Expect plenty of Arctic air

Weather forecast for week of Nov. 21

With most regions now having at least a light covering of snow, it’s definitely starting to look like winter. Combine the snow cover with a couple of shots of arctic air and this forecast period is going to start feeling like winter too! The area of low pressure expected to help bring mild weather to

Is the jet stream getting stuck more often?

It’s best to hope these ‘blocking patterns’ don’t become the norm This is one of those weeks when I’m just not sure what to write about, so I thought I’d discuss some ongoing weather research that just might help us understand how we could go from a record-warm March to a record-cold April in just

New models predict drastically greener Arctic in coming decades

New research predicts that rising temperatures will lead to a massive “greening,” or increase in plant cover, in the Arctic. In a paper published on March 31 in Nature Climate Change, scientists reveal new models projecting that wooded areas in the Arctic could increase by as much as 50 per cent over the next few

Winter’s still hanging on

It looks like spring is going to take its time moving in this year. The main weather story for this forecast period is cool arctic high pressure, which looks to be the dominant player. A large ridge of arctic high pressure has been dominating our weather for the last week and looks as if it
