Delhi's "feels like" temperature hit 51.3 degrees Celsius on Sunday, June 28, even though the thermometer read just 41.3 degrees Celsius. Here is what the heat index means, the simple maths behind the ...

Whether a summer day is great or awful often comes down to the humidity. With summer here, one component of our daily weather can make or break our enjoyment of the season, and that's the humidity. So ...

This week’s heatwave is the hottest ever recorded in Europe, as well as the most humid, and it is likely to cause thousands of deaths. Although a potential “super El Niño” is forming in the Pacific ...

For decades, scientists have tried to build a device even more precise than an atomic clock, which keeps time using electrons, the negatively charged particles that whiz around in an atom. Now, two ...

Current heatwave is very moist, making it feel worse – especially at night – than all-time high of 40.3C in July 2022 UK records its hottest June day and France its hottest ever as heatwave sweeps ...

New Delhi, Jun 23: Researchers have found that insects, such as fruit flies and mosquitoes, can respond predictably to cyclical ups and downs in humidity and dryness, providing evidence that humidity ...

New research from the University of Cincinnati reveals that humidity fluctuations act as a critical 'zeitgeber' for insect biological clocks, profoundly influencing their circadian rhythms and ...

In a novel experiment at the University of Cincinnati, researchers isolated kissing bugs, fruit flies, mosquitoes and spider beetles in a climate- and light-controlled environment and found that they ...

In a novel experiment at the University of Cincinnati, researchers recently isolated kissing bugs, fruit flies, mosquitoes and spider beetles in a climate- and light-controlled environment and found ...

Researchers at the University of Cincinnati found that fruit flies and other insects have a daily body clock tied to humidity. In a novel experiment at the University of Cincinnati, researchers ...

Two teams of physicists have made the world’s first nuclear clocks. These radical new devices keep time using fluctuations in the energy states of an atom’s nucleus, rather than those of its electrons ...

This paper estimates that the macroeconomic damages from climate change are an order of magnitude larger than previously thought. Exploiting natural global temperature variability, we find that 1°C ...
