Rare amoeba infection risk flagged ahead of summer

Rare amoeba infection risk flagged ahead of summer

Health officials across the U.S. are warning about the rare but deadly amoeba Naegleria fowleri as summer approaches. The organism thrives in warm freshwater and can cause a severe brain infection called PAM. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only 167 cases were reported between 1962 and 2024, with very few survivors. Updated safety guidance released in July 2026 aims to improve early detection as rising temperatures increase risk.

Increasing Frequency of Golf Ball-Sized Hail Linked to Climate Change in Wisconsin

Increasing Frequency of Golf Ball-Sized Hail Linked to Climate Change in Wisconsin

Recent studies indicate that storms producing golf ball-sized hail are becoming more frequent due to climate change. According to research from Northern Illinois University, a warmer climate results in increased water vapor in the atmosphere, which energizes thunderstorms. This phenomenon was observed in Wisconsin on April 14, where large hail was reported. Hail forms when strong updrafts push water droplets into colder atmospheric layers, causing them to freeze and grow larger. Eventually, these hailstones become too heavy and fall to the ground. The study suggests that atmospheric instability, which leads to stronger thunderstorm updrafts, will make golf ball-sized hail more common. A 2017 study published in Nature also supports the finding that hailstone size is expected to increase as a result of climate change.

El Niño set to boost Eastern Pacific hurricane activity

El Niño set to boost Eastern Pacific hurricane activity

A developing El Niño is expected to boost hurricane activity in the Eastern Pacific as the season begins on Thursday, May 15, 2026. Analysis shows that since 1990, El Niño years have produced above-average storm activity about 85% of the time. Warmer ocean waters are already running 1–3°C above normal, creating ideal conditions for storm development. Experts warn the 2026 season could be especially active, with a stronger-than-average El Niño potentially forming later this summer.
