Is it a false early summer in the Pacific Northwest?
Will a late frost kill all the blooms and buds?
Will a smoke storm ravage our landscape?

Doug Bostrom" By 2050, summers are projected to become as turbulent as 1950 winters and autumns... For every 1 Β°C of global near-surface warming, autumn, winter, spring, and summer are projected to have an average of 14%, 9%, 9%, and 14% more moderate CAT, respectively.

One way and/or another, more turbulence ahead.

Clear-air turbulence trends over the North Atlantic in high-resolution climate models - Climate Dynamics
Clear-air turbulence (CAT) has a large impact on the aviation sector. Our current understanding of how CAT may increase with climate change in future is largely based on simulations from CMIP3 and CMIP5 global climate models (GCMs). However, these models have now been superseded by high-resolution CMIP6 GCMs, which for the first time have grid lengths at which individual turbulence patches may start to be resolved. Here we use a multi-model approach to quantify projected moderate CAT changes over the North Atlantic using CMIP6 models. The influence of the model resolution on CAT projections is analysed. Twenty-one CAT diagnostics are used, in order to represent uncertainties in CAT production mechanisms. Each diagnostic responds differently in time, but the majority display an increase in moderate CAT between 1950 and 2050. Although winter is historically the most turbulent season, there is strong multi-model agreement that autumn and summer will have the greatest overall relative increase in CAT frequency. By 2050, summers are projected to become as turbulent as 1950 winters and autumns. The global-mean seasonal near-surface temperature is used as a comparative metric. For every 1 Β°C of global near-surface warming, autumn, winter, spring, and summer are projected to have an average of 14%, 9%, 9%, and 14% more moderate CAT, respectively. Our results confirm that the aviation sector should prepare for a more turbulent future.
Coastal development, climate change, logging and agriculture have put more than one in six mangrove species worldwide under extinction threat.
"Mangroves cover only about 0.1 per cent of the planetβs surface. However, they can potentially store up to 10 times more carbon per hectare (ha) than terrestrial forests."

Mangroves protect coastal communities, but accountability in governance is need of the hour: experts
Mangroves can potentially store up to 10 times more carbon per hectare than terrestrial forests. Mapping and quantifying human-driven stress factors can help achieve accountability, notes experts.
Climate justice and social justice: two sides of the same coin. Addressing both is vital to creating a more equitable and sustainable future for all.
There can be no climate justice without social justice.

As cyclone nears, Mauritius and Madagascar brace for floods, storm surge.
It's feared that up to 2.2 million people, mostly in Madagascar, will be impacted by storm surges and flooding, according to @GDACS

As cyclone nears, Mauritius and Madagascar brace for floods, storm surge
Mauritius grounded flights and shut its stock exchange as tropical cyclone Freddy approached the island in the Indian Ocean on Monday, while emergency teams braced for heavy rains, floods and landslides in four regions on Madagascar.
