    Super El Niño Threat Grows: Map Shows At-Risk States This Winter

    A developing El Niño climate pattern is forecast to strengthen significantly during the second half of 2026, with some forecasters warning it could evolve into a rare "super" El Niño and potentially rank among the strongest events on record.

    The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) says El Niño conditions are already established in the tropical Pacific and are expected to intensify through the end of the year, while some forecast models suggest the event could rival or even exceed the strength of historic El Niño episodes.

    El Niño is a natural climate pattern that occurs when sea-surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean become warmer than average. Those warmer waters influence atmospheric circulation around the globe, altering rainfall, storm tracks and temperatures far beyond the Pacific basin.

    UN, scientists warn that strong El Nino will add fuel to ‘a planet already on fire’

    UNITED NATIONS (AP) — A strengthening El Nino has already broken records for intensity at its early stages, and it likely will spark even more wild weather worldwide as it grows, “adding fuel to a planet already on fire,” United Nations officials warned Friday.

    A key area of the Pacific Ocean used to measure the strength of El Nino this week reached its warmest and most intense level ever recorded for the 15th week since it formed, which is early in its lifetime, scientists at Columbia University reported.

    India’s monsoon rains in danger as UN chief warns planet is ‘on fire’

    António Guterres says strengthening El Niño will help push the world’s climate crisis into ‘uncharted territory’

    India’s monsoon is in danger and hotter, drier conditions are forecast across much of the world as a stronger El Niño weather system is taking hold, weather experts have warned.

    António Guterres, the UN secretary general, said the strengthening El Niño was “adding fuel to a planet already on fire” and pushing the world into “uncharted territory”.

    The El Niño system will strengthen from August to October, which will bring higher temperatures globally, with increasing rainfall in some regions while others suffer drought, according to data and forecasts released by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) on Friday.

    Map: 5.5-Magnitude Earthquake Shakes Japan

    By William B. Davis, Madison Dong, Judson Jones, John Keefe, Joey K. Lee and Bea Malsky

    A moderately strong, 5.5-magnitude earthquake struck in Japan on Tuesday, according to the United States Geological Survey.

    The temblor happened at 7:46 p.m. Japan time about 2 miles northwest of Noda, Japan, data from the agency shows.

    As seismologists review available data, they may revise the earthquake’s reported magnitude. Additional information collected about the earthquake may also prompt U.S.G.S. scientists to update the shake-severity map.

    Sources: United States Geological Survey (epicenter, aftershocks, shake intensity); LandScan via Oak Ridge National Laboratory (population density) | Notes: Shaking categories are based on the Modified Mercalli Intensity scale. When aftershock data is available, the corresponding maps and charts include earthquakes within 100 miles and seven days of the initial quake. All times above are Japan time. Shake data is as of Tuesday, June 16 at 7:01 a.m. Eastern. Aftershocks data is as of Tuesday, June 16 at 11:31 a.m. Eastern.

    M5.5 quake jolts eastern Japan near Tokyo, no tsunami warning issued

    TOKYO – An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 5.5 shook eastern Japan including Tokyo on Tuesday, causing some disruptions to the country's transportation services, but no tsunami warning was issued.

    The focus of the 7:46 p.m. quake was in Ibaraki Prefecture northeast of Tokyo at about 50 kilometers underground, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.

    No damages or injuries were reported, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency said.

    The earthquake logged lower 5 on the Japanese seismic intensity scale of 7 in neighboring Gunma and Saitama prefectures, and 4 in Ibaraki.

    Bullet train services between Tokyo and Shin-Shirakawa stations on the Tohoku Shinkansen Line were paused before resuming around 25 minutes later. The Joetsu and Hokuriku Shinkansen Lines were also temporarily halted.
