Summer Is 30 Days Longer Than The 1960s, And Still Growing

In A Nutshell
Summers across the midlatitudes, including most of North America and Europe, now last roughly 30 days longer than they did in the 1960s.
Since 1990, inland areas have been gaining more than six extra days of summer per decade, a rate up to 57 percent faster than earlier estimates.
Total summer heat accumulation is growing more than three times faster than it did during the 1961–1990 baseline period.
Summer is also arriving and ending more abruptly, leaving less time for ecosystems, infrastructure, and people to adjust.

Side-by-side photos show the incredible amount of snowpack Western states lost in one month

Side-by-side photos from NASA satellites visualized alarming conditions, depicting the staggering loss of accumulated snow within just one month.

A Super El Niño is coming. Here’s how a hotter ocean could change the weather near you

Get ready to hear a lot more about El Niño during the next several months — and maybe even longer — as the infamous climate cycle returns again, developing and intensifying in the Pacific Ocean near the equator. If it forms as expected, this El Niño will redraw global weather maps, sparking flooding for some and drought and wildfires for others — all while simultaneously speeding up the pace of global warming.

There are increasing indications that an El Niño is not only imminent — setting in by late summer or early fall — but that it could be a significant one, too.

In fact, this might even qualify as a “Super El Niño,” which would significantly increase impacts felt around the world. Such extremely intense El Niños are rare.
