Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:04:25 GMT

It’s been less than six months, but California’s drought conditions have all but disappeared.And given all of the wild weather we’ve experienced this winter, it’s been easy to overlook one of the most dramatic changes to the Golden State’s map: Move the slider on the map below to see how since the end of September our wet winter has all but erased the drought.Mother Nature has soaked California, sending bomb cyclones and back-to-back atmospheric rivers that have drenched the long-parched state with trillions of gallons of water.The state’s hundreds of miles of levees are being tested, and some like the one in Pajaro are failing, as rivers and streams have surged time and again since the new year, which started off with a giant storm.The amount of rainfall and the anticipated snowmelt from unusually high snowpacks this winter will continue to present challenges this spring, sending more water flowing from the Sierra into the Central Valley than the...

Massive clot of seaweed bears down on Florida coast

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:04:25 GMT

By Suman Naishadham | Associated PressWASHINGTON — A 5,000-mile seaweed belt lurking in the Atlantic Ocean is expected in the next few months to wash onto beaches in the Caribbean Sea, South Florida, and the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico.The Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt — as the biomass stretching from West Africa to the Gulf of Mexico is called — contains scattered patches of seaweed on the open sea, rather than one continuous blob of sargassum. It’s not a new occurrence, but satellite images captured in February showed an earlier start than usual for such a large accumulation in the open ocean.Once it washes ashore, sargassum is a nuisance — a thick, brown algae that carpets beaches, releasing a pungent smell as it decays and entangling humans and animals who step into it. For hotels and resorts, clearing the stuff off beaches can amount to a round-the-clock operation.Here’s a look at this year’s sargassum seaweed bloom:WHAT IS SARGASSUM?A leafy brown seaweed fest...
