Glaciers crack, humidity soars, and a super El Niño reshapes weather

A warming planet is intensifying climate extremes: Nepal’s deadly flood is linked to a glacier ice avalanche, while Los Angeles endures unusually humid, heat‑driven nights as a super El Niño strengthens and pushes global temperatures higher. Scientists say these events are connected by climate change, which is making heat, storms, and glacial melt more frequent and severe, with August 2026 expected to be among the hottest on record.
