The Mediterranean Sea reached its highest-ever surface temperature last week, according to Spanish researchers. The average of 28.9°C on 15 August, calculated with data from the European Union’s Copernicus Earth observation programme, topped the previous record set in July last year. A maximum temperature for the day of 31.96°C was also recorded on the Egyptian coast at El-Arish. Almost the entire basin is suffering under the effects of a marine heatwave. Sea temperatures have spiked, particularly close to shore. But these warm waters aren’t unique to this summer and the region is a hotspot fo...

Miami (AFP) - Ernesto restrengthened into a hurricane Sunday as it traveled well off the shore of eastern United States, threatening wind and rain along the US and Canadian coasts after pummeling Puerto Rico and Bermuda.

"Beach goers should be aware that there is a significant risk of life-threatening surf and rip currents, and should sta...

Miami (AFP) - Hurricane Ernesto was downgraded to a tropical storm Saturday after it lashed Bermuda with heavy rains and strong winds, leaving much of the British Atlantic Ocean territory without power before continuing on its path toward eastern Canada. The hurricane, which hit Puerto Rico earlier this week, "will move away from Bermuda" Saturday night but would still create tropical storm conditions, according to the US-based National Hurricane Center. It warned that it was possible for the storm to intensify on Sunday "and Ernesto could regain hurricane status." It made landfall in Bermuda ...

Miami (AFP) - L'ouragan Ernesto a été rétrogradé au rang de tempête tropicale après avoir frappé les Bermudes, dont il s'éloignait samedi soir poursuivant sa trajectoire vers l'est du Canada, a annoncé le Centre américain des ouragans (NHC, National Hurricane Center). Ce dernier a cependant averti qu'il était possible que la tempête s'intensifie dimanche "et qu'Ernesto retrouve le statut d'ouragan". Aux Bermudes, où il avait touché terre samedi à 0830 GMT, Ernesto, qui a entraîné de fortes pluies accompagnées de vents violents, a provoqué des coupures d'électricité sur une grande partie de l'a...

Unprecedented wildfires in Canada and parts of Amazonia last year were made at least three times more likely by climate change, a new report has found. Wildfires in Greece, where blazes are currently burning around Athens, were made twice as likely by climate change. The ‘State of Wildfires’ report - published by the University of East Anglia (UEA), the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH), the Met Office and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) - is the first annual stocktake of extreme fires. It looks at those that took place between March 2023 and February 202...

The major wildfire that raged for almost three days near Athens has been extinguished, officials said on Wednesday. Firefighters continue to monitor an area north-east of the Greek capital to prevent any re-ignition of smouldering hotspots in the charred fields, forests and outlying neighbourhoods. A broken electricity pylon may have triggered the fire on Sunday afternoon, according to the Kathimerini newspaper. The report said investigators have examined the site and collected evidence. There is still disbelief about how rapidly the fire spread - and how close it got to the city. "It was like...
