Warming global temperatures are contributing to a rise in air turbulence, with a significant increase in the North Atlantic over the past four decades. This phenomenon, particularly clear-air turbulence, is invisible to radar systems and poses a safety concern for aircraft.
The study’s findings emphasize the need for enhanced radar systems and forecasting capabilities to mitigate the effects of climate change on air travel. Additionally, reducing greenhouse gas emissions is crucial to prevent further temperature increases and their associated risks.

The Jet Stream is bringing waves of showers and thunderstorms to Oklahoma over the next few days. While heavy rainfall is expected across the state, areas in northeastern and eastern Oklahoma are likely to receive the most significant precipitation, with totals ranging from 2 to 5 inches or higher in some localized areas. Western and northwestern Oklahoma will experience less rainfall. The threat of severe storms is also being monitored, and residents are urged to remain weather-aware and adjust plans accordingly.
