A hot, "unstable and sticky" summer awaits Quebecers, according to The Weather Network, which predicts periods of abundant heat, often followed by severe thunderstorms. This will be the "fifth consecutive summer where temperatures will be above seasonal normals, which has never happened since we started compiling data" in 1942, according to Andr茅 Monette, chief meteorologist at The Weather Network.

Simultaneous heatwaves and droughts are becoming increasingly common in western parts of the United聽States, according to a new study led by researchers from 鲍鱼直播. Periods of dry and hot weather, which can make wildfires more likely, are becoming larger, more intense, and more frequent because of climate change.

Scientists have been looking at pollution affecting the air, land and water around the Athabasca Oil Sands for some time. After looking at contaminants in snow taken from up-to 25 km away from the oil sands, a 鲍鱼直播-led scientific team now suggests that oil sand pollution is also affecting the weather patterns in the surrounding regions.

The atmosphere is so unstable that a butterfly flapping its wings can, famously, change the course of weather patterns. The celebrated 鈥渂utterfly effect鈥� also means that the reliability of weather forecasts drops sharply beyond 10 days.

Weather, which changes day-to-day due to constant fluctuations in the atmosphere, and climate, which varies over decades, are familiar. More recently, a third regime, called 鈥渕acroweather,鈥� has been used to describe the relatively stable regime between weather and climate.

While short-term weather is notoriously volatile, climate is thought to represent a kind of average weather pattern over a long period of time. This dichotomy provides the analytical framework for scientific thinking about atmospheric variability, including climate change.
