El Niño is back: What it could mean for California's winter

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:35:39 GMT

After a four-year break, El Niño is back, leaving many to wonder what it means for California’s upcoming winter. El Niño is the temporary warming of the eastern Pacific Ocean near the equator. When the water temperature rises a half-degree Celsius above normal over a three-month period, that is considered to be an El Niño pattern. When the water rises 1.5 degrees Celsius above normal, that’s considered a strong El Niño - which may be the case this winter.“It does appear as though this event is going to come pretty close to that if not exceed that,” said Ben Reppert, a meteorology professor at Penn State University. “If it does, it will be in the rare category along the lines of the El Niño of 2015-16 and the El Niño of [winter] 1998.”El Nino developing around the Pacific equator in 2023 (NOAA)In December 1997, 7 inches of rain fell in parts of Orange County in one day.

House GOP eyes trans care as newest battleground issue

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 08:35:39 GMT

By Ariel Cohen, CQ-Roll CallHouse Republicans who waged fierce political battles over Obamacare and abortion after that have found a new focus as the lead-up to the 2024 elections: gender-affirming care for transgender Americans.They’ve added riders on seven of the 12 House fiscal 2024 appropriations bills that would put restrictions on gender-affirming care, which can be anything from hormone therapy to surgical care to insurance coverage of either.The fight has extended beyond spending bills into policy measures as well: They’ve held up traditionally bipartisan programs to pay for pediatrician training over hospitals’ decisions to provide such care. Another bill would create a global gag rule for gender-affirming care similar to the Mexico City policy for abortion care.And they’ve threaded their concerns over the issue into the debate over the annual defense authorization bill — a fight that could threaten the passage of that bill.“The volume here is just orders of magnitude diffe...

The last time this affordability yardstick was higher was in the third quarter of 2007, just before the housing bubble burst.Related ArticlesReal Est...
