Nearly 900 wildfires burn across Canada, with smoke spreading across much of North America, as Northern Ontario faces evacuations; Wildfire smoke continues to impact the GTA, with air quality warnings in effect as millions on both sides of the border try to cope; Canadian wildfire smoke has blanketed parts of the U.S., prompting U.S. President Donald Trump to threaten new tariffs; Floods, hail, and tornadoes have damaged 300,000 hectares in Manitoba, leaving farmers struggling through a difficult growing season.
A strong frontal system will impact the region tomorrow and tomorrow night. First, the plume of smoke will return northward. The pop up storms will develop in the unstable air surging northward, and some rotation is possible. The storms will organize into a line later in the day and produce instances of flooding as well as straight line winds.

Guest: Dr. Jennifer Francis, Woodwell Climate Research CenterWhen we think about the Arctic, it's easy to picture a remote landscape of sea ice and polar bears. But what happens in the far north doesn't stay there. As the Arctic continues to warm at an unprecedented pace, scientists are uncovering how those changes may be influencing weather patterns across the Northern Hemisphere—from prolonged heat waves and persistent droughts to heavy rainfall and unusual swings in the jet stream. Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by atmospheric scientist Dr. Jennifer Francis, whose pioneering research has helped shape our understanding of the connection between Arctic climate change and the behavior of the jet stream. We'll explore why the Arctic is warming so rapidly, how those changes can ripple through the atmosphere, and what they may mean for the persistent weather patterns we've seen in recent years—including the extreme heat that has gripped much of Europe this summer.Chapters00:00 Dr. Jennifer Francis's background and interest in weather05:22 Jet stream patterns and their role in extreme weather13:21 Break 114:31 Mechanisms of Arctic amplification and feedbacks22:57 Stratospheric polar vortex and winter weather effects25:04 Break 225:58 Summer jet stream behavior and climate connections32:08 Ocean heat waves and their influence on jet stream patterns34:33 Current research and future challenges in Arctic climate studies37:06 Closing remarks and resourcesResourcesWoodwell Climate Research Center - https://www.woodwellclimate.org/Jennifer Francis - Research Profile - https://www.woodwellclimate.org/our-scientists/jennifer-francis/Clausius-Clapeyron Relationship - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clausius%E2%80%93Clapeyron_relation Guest linksTwitter - https://x.com/WoodwellClimate https://x.com/JFrancisClimateResearch Center - https://www.woodwellclimate.org/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Five months on from devastating flooding in Canterbury's Little River, people are still rebuilding their lives. The township was swamped in a February storm that resulted in a state of emergency for Banks Peninsula. While the floodwaters have long gone, locals say recovery is proving slow and many are still waiting to get back into their damaged homes. Anna Sargent reports.
An historic El Niño is forming in the Pacific that could cause catastrophic weather around the world. Add to that the hurricanes, fires and floods that have created disaster zones across the US just in the past couple of years and the need for a stable and robust Federal Emergency Management Agency seems like a no-brainer. But crippling layoffs at the emergency aid agency in the spring of 2025 left it struggling to effectively respond to last summer's Texas floods. It also hasn't had anyone permanent leading it since President Donald Trump took office. The question isn't whether the next catastrophe is coming. It is. The question is, will FEMA be ready to meet the moment?

Sea level rise isn't always dramatic. Long before homes disappear beneath the waves, coastal communities can lose something even more essential: safe drinking water. In this episode, we explore how saltwater is quietly moving into freshwater supplies across coastal Bangladesh and why this hidden impact deserves far more attention. Using a recent Mongabay commentary as a starting point, you'll learn how rising seas, changing rivers, and human activities are combining to reshape one of the world's largest river deltas. The consequences extend beyond drinking water to agriculture, public health, local economies, and the future of entire communities. It is a reminder that climate change often begins with changes we cannot immediately see. This isn't just Bangladesh's story. Coastal communities around the world are becoming more vulnerable to saltwater intrusion as sea levels continue to rise. Understanding these early warning signs helps us better prepare for a future where protecting freshwater may become just as important as protecting our shorelines.

Guest: Dr. Jennifer Collins & Dr. Nadia BloemendaalWhen it comes to hurricanes, we often rely on a familiar scale to understand their strength — categories based largely on wind speed. But anyone who's experienced a storm knows that impacts go far beyond just how fast the winds are blowing. Today, we're joined by Jennifer Collins and Nadia Bloemendaal, whose work is helping to rethink how we model and measure tropical cyclones. They're the minds behind the STORM model, a powerful tool for simulating thousands of storms across the globe, and the developers of the Tropical Cyclone Severity Scale — a new way of looking at storm risk that goes beyond traditional categories. In this episode, we'll explore how large-scale modeling is changing our understanding of hurricane risk, why current classification systems may fall short, and how new approaches could improve the way we communicate danger and prepare for future storms.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the New Storm Model00:20 The Storm Model's Impact on Various Sectors01:02 Challenges in Developing a Global Storm Model02:21 Modeling Hazards Beyond Wind: Rain and Surge04:31 Motivation for a New Hurricane Severity Scale06:42 Limitations of the Wind-Only Scale08:35 The New Scale: Incorporating Multiple Hazards10:27 Break 111:28 The Concept of a Category 6 Storm13:05 Public Perception and Education Strategies15:22 Localized and Personalized Risk Communication17:27 Real-World Applications and Case Studies19:20 Future Directions and Climate Change Impacts21:54 Inertia and Adoption Challenges in Meteorology23:49 Break 225:00 Public Perception of Storm Categories27:33 The Path Toward Standardization and Adoption30:12 Future Collaborations and Final ThoughtsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 426: On June 29th, 2021, Lytton, British Columbia, recorded the highest air temperature in Canadian history: 49.6 degrees Celsius. The next day, the town burned to the ground in under two hours, killing two people and destroying more than 150 homes and businesses across the Village of Lytton and the neighbouring Lytton First Nation reserves. Nearly four years later, the cause of the fire remains officially undetermined, the recovery has become its own bureaucratic disaster, and a class-action lawsuit against Canada's two largest railways is still working its way through the BC Supreme Court. This episode tells the story of the heat, the fire, the two people who didn't make it out, and the years-long collapse of the rebuild that followed. Later in the episode, Mike sits down with Tim Conrad of Butterfly Effect Communications to talk crisis communications — what the first hours of a disaster like Lytton demand, and what it takes to keep a fractured, grieving community informed years into a recovery that never seems to end.

Guest: Dr. Aran MooneyWhen you think about saving coral reefs, you probably imagine divers, coral nurseries, or maybe even futuristic technology — but what if part of the solution starts with simply turning up the volume? Because it turns out, coral reefs don't just look alive… they sound alive. Today's guest, Dr. Aran Mooney, is helping scientists and conservationists tune into the ocean in a whole new way. His research explores how the natural “music” of healthy reefs — the pops, clicks, and choruses of marine life — can actually help guide coral larvae home and jump-start reef recovery. In this episode, we'll talk about listening to the ocean, using sound as a conservation tool, and why sometimes the key to protecting our planet isn't louder warnings — it's learning how to hear what nature has been telling us all along.Chapters00:00 The Sound of Coral Reefs06:00 Sound as a Restoration Tool12:02 The Mechanics of Sound Playback17:23 Break 117:55 Environmental Influences on Coral Soundscapes20:17 The Power of Sound in Coral Restoration26:59 Break 227:28 Hurricanes and Their Impact on Coral Reefs30:43 Understanding the Time Scale of Sound Influence35:39 Scaling Sound Solutions for Coral Reefs40:51 Community Engagement and Partnerships for Coral HealthResourcesWoods Hole Oceanographic Institution - https://www.whoi.edu/NOAA Coral Reef Conservation Program - https://coralreef.noaa.gov/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Guest: Brad Panovich, WCNC CharlotteIf you've lived in North Carolina for any length of time, chances are you've turned to one familiar face when the weather turns serious. But being a trusted meteorologist today isn't just about what happens on TV—it's about showing up wherever your audience is, whether that's on-air, online, or in the middle of a rapidly evolving storm. Today on Weather Geeks, we're joined by Brad Panovich, Chief Meteorologist at WCNC Charlotte. For decades, Brad has helped guide North Carolinians through everything from day-to-day forecasts to high-impact events—including more recent storms like Hurricane Helene—building a level of trust that goes far beyond the forecast itself. We'll talk about how his approach to communication has evolved in the age of social media, what it takes to cut through misinformation, and how you balance urgency, clarity, and calm when people are depending on you the most.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Brad Panovich and His Journey02:55 The Evolution of Weather Communication05:54 The Importance of Credentialing in Meteorology08:56 The Role of Trust in Weather Forecasting12:05 Break 112:08 Navigating Social Media as a Meteorologist15:13 Handling Negativity and Criticism in the Digital Age20:13 Understanding Public Perception of Weather Forecasts23:40 Break 224:12 The Role of Social Media in Weather Communication26:28 The Impact of AI on Meteorology30:11 Personal Reflections on the Impact of Meteorology34:26 The Educator's Role in Meteorology ResourcesOhio State University Meteorology Program - https://meteo.osu.edu/UNC Charlotte Weather Communication Course - https://physics.charlotte.edu/ Guest linksBrad Panovich on Twitter - https://twitter.com/WXBradWebsite - https://www.wcnc.com/TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@wxbradSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The Mississippi River has always carried more than cargo. For generations, river workers reported a chilling sight emerging from the fog: coffins drifting silently downstream. The stories became part of Mississippi folklore, but the truth behind them may be even stranger. Floods regularly washed away riverside cemeteries, steamboat disasters scattered victims for miles, and entire communities were forced to recover the dead from the riverbanks. In this episode of The Box of Oddities, Jethro explores the real history behind the legend of the Floating Coffins of the Mississippi and the deadly world of nineteenth-century steamboat travel. Then, Kat investigates some of the longest prison sentences ever handed down in modern history. From inmates who spent more than seventy years behind bars to criminals sentenced to thousands—or even hundreds of thousands—of years in prison, you'll learn why courts impose punishments that no human being could ever fully serve. The Mississippi River's floating coffins, steamboat disasters, prison sentences measured in centuries, bizarre nineteenth-century slang, and more weirdness from history await in this episode of The Box of Oddities. #BoxOfOddities #MississippiRiver #FloatingCoffins #SteamboatDisasters #RiverGhostStories #PrisonHistory #TrueCrimeHistory #WeirdHistory #AmericanFolklore #LongestPrisonSentences Learn more about your ad choices.
