Are we headed for a “wild ride” this year, or just the usual chaos with a new label? We kick things off from our hidden studio in Southern Illinois with the kind of talk everyone can relate to: spring weather that can’t make up its mind. Then we zoom out to the big climate headline driving the conversation, as NOAA signals the La Nina pattern has ended and El Nino may develop later this year. We unpack what that shift can mean in real terms, including the possibility of a stronger warming pattern, hotter seasons, and ripple effects that could shape hurricane season in both the Atlantic and Pacific.
After that, we run a fast, listener-friendly “weather around the world” check. You’ll hear current conditions like humidity, wind, pressure, and air quality from places like Phoenix, Spokane, Australia, and a surprise stop in Beijing. That Beijing report hits differently, with unhealthy air quality and low visibility that make you appreciate clean air in a new way.
We also drop our seven-day earthquake report with totals across magnitudes, call out a notable 5.7 near Silver Springs, Nevada, and share why even a “low week” still deserves attention. Then we pivot into space weather: a coronal hole facing Earth could send high-speed solar wind our way with potential G2 geomagnetic storms, lining up with dark new-moon skies for aurora viewing. We even shout out a photo that captures Starlink satellites in the same frame, raising a real question about how much is too much. We wrap with a Supreme Court ruling on internet providers and piracy, plus ways to support the show. Subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review, then tell us what the weather is doing where you are.
I hope you enjoy the show! If you find value in our show,
