California mudslides and chaos offer a preview of what El Nio could bring
2015-10-19 16:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
LA Times: The storm that slammed into the high desert and mountains of Southern California this week was one for the record books. Intense rain sent massive mudflows onto highways, picking up cars and pushing them into one another. Hundreds of vehicles were trapped in mud up to 20 feet deep; in some cases, motorists were stranded overnight. In one spot in the Antelope Valley, the storm dumped 1.81 inches of rain in 30 minutes on Thursday, in what the National Weather Service described as a 1,000-year rain...

Two Maps Show Why El Nio Is Rising To 1997-98 Levels

Climate Central: In case there was any doubt, NASA has released a reminder that this El Nio is big, likely to get bigger (maybe even record-setting) and that the weather is likely to be anything but normal through this winter for much of the U.S. A new set of maps published by the NASA Earth Observatory show that oceans are getting close to replicating the 1997-98 El Nio that's referred to as the climate event of the century. The maps compare sea level heights of that famous El Nio to the one currently ramping...

Guardian: Two dozen people have already died from hunger and drinking contaminated water in drought-stricken Papua New Guinea, but the looming El Nio crisis could leave more than four million people across the Pacific without enough food or clean water. The El Nio weather pattern when waters in the eastern tropical Pacific ocean become warmer, driving extreme weather conditions may be as severe as in 1997-98, when an estimated 23,000 people died, forecasters believe. In Papua New Guineas Chimbu...
Link between dengue epidemics, high temperatures during strong El Nio season
2015-10-09 23:02:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
ScienceDaily: Epidemics of dengue are linked to high temperatures brought by the El Nio weather phenomenon, a University of Florida scientist working with an international team of researchers has found. The findings are particularly timely as the most intense El Nio in nearly two decades is emerging in the Pacific, raising the concern that a major increase in cases of dengue will occur throughout Southeast Asian countries early next year. The results of the study appear in issue of the Proceedings of the National...
