  • Europe increasingly vulnerable to hailstones the size of golfballs

    6 days ago | newscientist.com | Madeleine Cuff

    Hailstones the size of golfballs are increasingly raining down on Europe as the climate warms, causing expensive damage to cars and buildings. Very large hail, classified as hailstones that measure 5 centimetres or more in diameter, is one of the most costly forms of extreme weather, capable of smashing windows, denting cars and blowing holes through the roof of a building.

    The first comprehensive analysis of deep-sea dives has revealed that humans have only directly observed a tiny fraction – less than 0.001 per cent – of the global deep seafloor, leaving the vast majority of our planet unexplored. Oceans make up 71 per cent of Earth’s total surface area, and around 93 per cent of that area is deep seafloor, classed as seabed deeper than 200 metres.

    Runners at the London Marathon experienced the fourth-warmest frun in the event’s history on Sunday and when temperatures reach 28°C this week, it will be for the first time since April 2018. According to the Met Office, the UK is indeed experiencing a warmer-than-average April and, when a full record can be established in May, it is “highly likely” to rank in their top 10.

    3 weeks ago | newscientist.com | Madeleine Cuff

    Researchers have discovered a giant coral colony on the north-western coast of Saudi Arabia, in a part of the Red Sea that is being developed as a luxury tourist resort. The colony, a feature within a reef made up of one specific type of the tiny coral-building animal known as a polyp, is suspected to be of the species Pavona clavus and measures approximately 30 metres by 21 metres, making it probably the largest discovered in the Red Sea.
