After a four-year absence, a powerful El Nino climate pattern will peak in the first half of this year, bringing extreme weather events that will cause food insecurity, increase water stress, disrupt logistics, spread disease, and fuel migration and political instability.
El Nino is a predictable pattern that increases the frequency and magnitude of extreme weather events such as heat waves, droughts, storms, and floods due to higher global temperatures stemming from warmer currents and winds in the Pacific Ocean. The last time a strong El Nino occurred (in 2016), it contributed to making that year the hottest on record.
Since then, however, baseline temperatures have increased further owing to climate change. With El Nino peaking in the first half of the year and its effect on global temperatures lagging by a few months, 2024 will likely set a new record.
El Nino will affect much of the world, but countries in the Indo-Pacific, Latin America, and Southern Africa will be hit hardest. South and Southeast Asia, Central America, northern South America, and Australia all risk prolonged dry periods and record high temperatures, increasing the likelihood of unusually severe and widespread drought. In Brazil, dry conditions in parts of the country will exacerbate the risk of fires, accelerating deforestation and threatening sources of fresh water and hydroelectric power generation. The northern US and Canada are also likely to experience warm, dry weather, leading to elevated forest fire risk after an unprecedented 2023 season that saw fires rip through Canadian forests and blanketed New York under a thick cloud of smoke. Further south, increased rainfall could cause flash flooding in California after years of drought, while the Southeastern US is also expected to see higher than normal rainfall.
In some regions, extreme weather caused by El Nino will threaten agricultural production, leading to potentially severe disruptions in food supplies.
El Nino will increase water stress in regions with a high concentration of water-intensive industries - a global risk highlighted last year that El Nino is set to exacerbate. Droughts will make the logistics of river and canal transport more challenging. Even lower water levels in the Panama Canal will more dramatically disrupt one of the world's busiest shipping hubs. Reduced hydroelectric and nuclear power generation are a related concern, especially in parts of South America.
El Nino will also increase the chance of natural disasters caused by extreme weather events such as fires, cyclones, landslides, and floods. These occurrences will bring downside risk for homes, businesses, and infrastructure, with important implications for a global insurance industry already reeling from the consequences of climate change. In some inundated areas, tropical diseases will become more frequent, with a heightened risk of spikes of cholera in East Africa and dengue fever in South and Southeast Asia and Central and South America.
The combination of food insecurity, water stress, and natural disasters will put the most pressure on countries with limited adaptation capabilities - many of them already suffering from elevated political and economic fragility. This will threaten lives and livelihoods among the most vulnerable populations in the most vulnerable countries, driving internal migration (in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East) and cross-border refugee flows (in the Americas).

So we like to repeat outrselfes: Avoid direct impact of sunshine and stay hydrated. The UV index will be very high today with 11 expected of a scale 1-12. The UV Index is a forecast of the probable intensity of skin damaging ultraviolet radiation reaching the surface during the solar noon hour. The greater the UV Index, the greater the amount of skin damaging UV radiation. The threshold for skin damage is dependent on several factors, including skin tone.
Note that clouds do not block most UV light. Winds from the North today with an average speed of 13 km/h. Sunrise is at 06:00hr, sunset at 18:36hr
Hilary remains a powerful category 4 hurricane. Life-threatening and potentially catastrophic flooding likely over much of Baja California peninsula and southern California this weekend and early next week! The government of Mexico has upgraded the Hurricane Watch to a Hurricane Warning on the west coast of Baja California northward to Cabo San Quintin and upgraded the Tropical Storm Watch to a Tropical Storm Warning north of Loreto on the east coast of Baja California and north of Guaymas in mainland Mexico.
A Hurricane Warning means that hurricane conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area.
A warning is typically issued 36 hours before the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force winds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult or dangerous.
Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion.
A Hurricane Watch means that hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area.
A watch is typically issued 48 hours before the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force winds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult or dangerous. Interests at the southern Baja California peninsula should definitely monitor the progress of Hilary!
At 15:00hr MDT (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Hilary was about 125 km (80 mi) W of Socorro Island, a volcanic island in the Mexican Revillagigedo Archipelago and about 525km (325 mi) SSW of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico with maximum sustained winds of 215 km/h (130 mph)
Hilary is moving toward the northwest near 19km/h (12 mph).
A turn toward the north-northwest is expected tonight, followed by a faster motion toward the north Saturday night and Sunday.
On the forecast track, the center of Hilary will move close to the west coast of the Baja California peninsula over the weekend and reach southern California by Sunday night.
Hilary continues strengthening rapidly likely to become a major hurricane later today. At 09:00hr MDT (15:00hr UTC), the center of Hurricane Hilary was located about 590km (365 mi) SSW of Cabo Corrientes, Mexico and about 850km (530 mi) SSE of Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
The government of Mexico has issued a Tropical Storm Warning for the southern portion of Baja California Sur peninsula from Cabo San Lazaro southward on the west coast and Los Barriles southward on the east coast.
Hilary is moving toward the west-northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue through tonight.
A turn toward the northwest is expected Friday morning, followed by a turn toward the north-northwest and north on Saturday.
On the forecast track, the center of Hilary will approach the Baja California peninsula over the weekend. Interests elsewhere on the Baja California peninsula and along the coast of northwestern mainland Mexico should closely monitor the progress of Hilary. Large swells generated by Hilary will affect portions of the coast of southwestern Mexico and the Baja California peninsula over the next few days.
The full moon on 1st. of August is the second of four supermoons in the summer of 2023, with the next, the Full Blue Moon, falling on 30th August 2023.
August is an exciting month for moon lovers, with the summer month opening and closing with a supermoon. The Full Sturgeon Moon rises on Tuesday, 1st of August and then the month closes out with the Full Blue Moon.
Much like the Strawberry Moon or the Pink Moon, the Sturgeon Full Moon draws its name from similar inspiration. These names come from happening or landscapes in the Northern Hemisphere. According to The Old Farmer's Almanac.
Following the Sturgeon full moon, the illuminated lunar face will recede with the moon being described as "waning." The waning moon will also rise and set an hour later each day. This leads to the next new moon on Wednesday, 16. August 2023.
So-called supermoons occur because the orbit of the moon around the Earth is not a perfect circle but is instead a flattened circle or an ellipse.
This means that during its 27.3-day orbit, there are points at which the moon is closer to the Earth and points at which it is further away. The visible size difference of the moon between the closest point, perigee, and the furthest, apogee, is about 14%.
