Chicago | Reuters –– The clear Midwestern skies that El Nino cycles typically bring could be a boon to the U.S. heartland this spring, after recent record rain levels soaked the region, swamping farmland and disrupting grain export shipments on swollen rivers. Farm fields across the Midwest are saturated, according to the U.S. Department of

A look back at a record-shattering October

It’s now a foregone conclusion that 2015 will be the warmest year on record

I know I promised to look at big snowfalls that have occurred in the past, then look at the probabilities of receiving different amounts of snow, but there are a couple of global weather stories that I thought should take precedence. Remember when I reported that, for the first time in a while, the University

Cereals North America: Shift to La Nina may hurt yields

Manitobans can expect a warmer-than-normal winter due to El Niño, and a warmer-than-normal future thanks to climate change, says David Phillips, Environment Canada’s senior climatologist. In fact this El Niño, which refers to warm water that develops in the central and east-central equatorial Pacific, is a “super” one, Phillips told the Harvest Gala, a fundraising
