  • Severe thunderstorms with tornado risk forecast for eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas

    The southern Plains and Ozarks face a severe weather outbreak on September 23, 2025, with the Storm Prediction Center warning of supercells capable of producing tornadoes, very large hail, and damaging winds from eastern Oklahoma and northeast Texas into western Arkansas. Storms are expected to intensify this afternoon and evening (local time), with tornado potential maximized across northeastern Oklahoma into western Arkansas.

  • Eye of Super Typhoon Ragasa moves over Calayan Island, Cagayan, Philippines

    Super Typhoon Ragasa, locally named Nando, began crossing Calayan Island in Cagayan province, northern Philippines, at around 03:00 UTC (11:00 LT) on September 22, 2025, bringing destructive winds, extreme seas, and life-threatening storm surge. The Philippine weather bureau reported maximum 10-minute sustained winds of 215 km/h (134 mph) and gusts up to 295 km/h (183 mph).

  • Widely observed space junk reentry over Delhi and Gurugram, India

    A bright fireball crossed the skies of northern India at around 01:20–01:30 IST on September 20 (19:50–20:00 UTC on September 19). The object was widely observed across Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Ghaziabad, Faridabad, Dwarka, and Aligarh, where it fragmented into multiple pieces before fully disintegrating in the atmosphere. Although several initial reports described the object as…

  • Lava fountains over 150 m (500 feet) in new eruption at Kilauea, Hawaii

    A new eruptive episode started at Kīlauea’s Halemaʻumaʻu crater at 13:11 UTC (03:11 HST) on September 19, 2025, producing lava fountains over 150 m (500 feet) and a volcanic plume up to 3 000 m (10 000 feet) high. The eruption remains confined to the summit caldera within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park.

  • Flood Watches in effect as post-tropical Mario drives moisture into the U.S. Southwest

    Moisture from post-tropical Mario is forecast to spread into southern California on September 18, 2025, bringing thunderstorms and rainfall totals of 25–75 mm (1–3 inches) through Friday. Rainfall rates may exceed 25 mm/h (1 inch/h), prompting Flood Watches and Flash Flood Watches across much of the region. Arizona and New Mexico are also expected to see widespread showers and thunderstorms with localized flooding into September 19.

  • Gravitational anomaly in 2007 hints at rapid changes near Earth’s core

    A gravity anomaly recorded by NASA–German GRACE satellites in early 2007 over the Atlantic Ocean points to mass redistribution near Earth’s core–mantle boundary, around 2 700–2 900 km (1 700–1 800 miles) deep. Researchers suggest a perovskite-to-post-perovskite mineral phase change produced decimetric boundary shifts, offering the first evidence that deep mantle processes can unfold within just a few years and potentially affect Earth’s magnetic field.

  • Tropical Storm Gabrielle forms over central Atlantic

    Tropical Storm Gabrielle, the 7th named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, formed over the central Atlantic at 15:00 UTC on September 17, 2025. The system is moving north-northwest and is forecast to intensify over the next several days.
