This is crazy. This just happened less than 2 hours ago. Two cargo ships collided in the #WellandCanal. @Welland @WellandTribune. Video courtesy of Jeremy Barton.

For the first time in nearly five centuries, Krasheninnikov erupted. 🌋
The @NASA/@ISRO NISAR satellite captured lava filling its caldera and overflowing into a wider crater, showing how NISAR can repeatedly monitor volcanoes and other natural hazards in sharp detail.

Hurricane #Polo is still a menace, and now there's Nolo. Hawaii is on alert as Tropical Storm #Nolo has formed in the eastern Pacific. A hurricane watch issued for Hawaii’s Big Island, ahead of what is projected to be a major hurricane by this weekend. theweathernetwork.com/en/new…

Arctic sea ice reached its yearly minimum extent on Sept. 12, 2026, @NASA and @NSIDC report.
The ice covered 1.78 million square miles, making it the 10th-lowest in the satellite record, tied with 2008, 2010, and 2025. go.nasa.gov/4howoJi

Dominant ridge of high pressure strong enough to set records in Central Canada has also extended period of dry weather in Ontario. September pressure records in Montreal, Quebec City, Chibougamau and Val-d'Or, Que., and in Ottawa, Ont. #ONwx #MeteoQC theweathernetwork.com/en/new…

Happy #NationalTreeDay!🌳🍂 Forests are an important part of what makes Conservation Halton's parks so special. We're looking forward to watching the trees transform into their brilliant shades of red, orange and gold. There's always something new to notice in the forest!

I have a new piece out in Nature today on the record-breaking 2026/2027 El Niño, what impacts we should expect, and how governments can prepare. The Niño3.4 region is currently running more than 1C hotter than any prior event on record, and we remain months away from the peak.

A storm surge swept through the Beaufort Sea on Monday, sending a stark warning to low-lying Arctic communities like Tuktoyaktuk, N.W.T., about the mounting risks of #ClimateChange and coastal erosion. Leaders weigh long-term protection, relocation plans. theweathernetwork.com/en/new…

In an early loss for the @MarkJCarney government, a federal court refused to strike down a #climate lawsuit brought by Canadian youth. Environmental lawsuit likely to proceed, against the federal government's wishes.

The melting season for Arctic sea ice is about 40 days longer than in 1979. Much of that change happened prior to 2010, when the season length stabilized.
The findings come from a @NASA-led study of satellite observations of Arctic sea ice from 1979-2023. go.nasa.gov/4yKFreB

The map is mostly dark red, indicating an increase of about 5 days or more. Closer to the pole, the melting season has changed less dramatically. Credit: NASA

The original headline for this article was, "No signs of a hurricane in the Atlantic. Could we go a full season without one?" And then @NHC_Atlantic changed its #TropicalStormFay forecast. So, now it's this angle for the time being. theweathernetwork.com/en/new…

If it felt like mosquitoes were being particularly bad this summer, and staying around for longer, it might not be in your head. Parts of Canada had particularly bad mosquito season, with critters staying longer in southern Ontario. @BrockUniversity theweathernetwork.com/en/new…

I didn't see this coming. The Vatican's new, renewable energy plant could feature 80 to 90 megawatts of capacity, with an estimated cost of US$117 million and an 18- to 24-month completion time frame, according to @Reuters.

It’s the last week of summer in the Northern Hemisphere, but the season is going out with record-breaking heat. 🥵
A heat dome sent temperatures soaring in the south-central U.S. on Sept. 15, 2026. This map shows air temperatures from satellites and @NASAGoddard’s GEOS model.
ALT Map of air temperatures in the contiguous United States during a heat dome on September 15, 2026. White and light blue colors indicate cooler temperatures below 20 degrees Celsius. Oranges and reds indicate warmer temperatures around 25 to 45 degrees Celsius. The darkest reds indicate temperatures at or above 45 degrees Celsius. Much of the south, central, and eastern U.S. are some shade of orange or red. Darker reds cover Texas and several states to the east and northeast. Credit: NASA

#ElNiño has just crossed a threshold rarely reached. We suspected it. Now it is confirmed: We are currently in a "super" El Niño event. A detailed look at what that means. El Niño has intensified at rapid pace and it hasn't reached its full potential.
