A solar storm forecast for Thursday is expected to give many Americans a chance to glimpse the colorful aurora borealis.
For the third time this week, Earth sets an unofficial heat record. What’s behind those big numbers?
Earth’s average temperature set a new unofficial record high Thursday, the third such milestone in a week that already rated as the hottest on record and what one prominent scientist says could be the hottest in 120,000 years.
Scientists say unofficial records being set for average global temperature are a sign of how humans' pollutants are warming the environment.
The planet’s temperature spiked on Tuesday to its hottest day in at least 44 years and likely much longer. Wednesday could become the third straight day that global temperatures unofficially hit a record-breaking high. The numbers from the University of Maine's Climate Reanalyzer project com…
The blue moon will be back in 2023 after a hiatus in 2022. That will go along with four consecutive supermoons, a lunar eclipse and a "super blue moon."
Everything is bigger in Texas, including the heat. But the recent heat wave there was big even by Texas standards, rewriting local weather records.
Heat waves like the one that engulfed parts of parts of the South and Midwest and killed more than a dozen people are becoming more common. Experts say the extreme weather events, which claim more lives than hurricanes and tornadoes, will likely increase in the future.
After recent rains, the burn ban in Scott County was lifted Friday morning.
The only break much of America can hope for anytime soon from eye-watering dangerous smoke from fire-struck Canada is brief bouts of shirt-soaking sweltering heat and humidity from a southern heat wave that has already proven deadly, forecasters say.
Less smoke in Iowa today thanks to additional rain. More activity expected in the central and eastern part of the state where damaging wind and hail can't be ruled out. Showers and storms around Thursday as well. Full details in our latest forecast.
Drifting smoke from the ongoing wildfires across Canada is creating curtains of haze and raising air quality concerns throughout the Great Lakes region, and in parts of the central and eastern United States.
Smoke from Canadian wildfires is causing poor air quality in eastern Iowa and western Illinois, prompting alerts. Those sensitive to air quality should limit time outdoors.
