Quick Glance: Experience Weather Changes During the Total Solar Eclipse

On Monday, April 8, a total solar eclipse will alter weather conditions on the Earth’s surface as it unfolds in the sky.

The eclipse will impact temperatures, wind speeds, and humidity as the moon obscures the sun. Increased shading leads to more significant weather changes.

The eclipse will also affect humidity levels, influencing temperature drops during the event. Cooling effects during the eclipse impact wind speeds and cloud formation.

Monday’s eclipse is the only chance to witness a total solar eclipse from the Lower 48 states. The next opportunity won't occur until August 12, 2045.

Quick Glance: Global Coral Bleaching Event After Extreme Heat

US climate agency NOAA declares a concerning global coral bleaching event for the fourth time in history after a year of extreme ocean heat.

Impacts of coral bleaching span oceans worldwide, with sea surface temperatures at record levels.

Corals under extreme heat stress can recover, but otherwise, the reef requires several years to regenerate.

Despite losses, some reefs show signs of color, offering hope for potential recovery, while scientists caution about the escalating impacts.
