Unraveling the intractable trilemma in urban weather and climate modeling - Nature

Scientists used a new error correction strategy to encode 70 logical qubits and tackle a problem considered classically intractable. The quantum computation was completed in about 15 minutes, while leading classical computing methods would require an impractical amount of time to perform the same task.

A full-blown trade war with the United States is now underway. Last weekend, the U. S. levied 50 percent tariffs on roughly 5 percent of Canada’s exports. Prime Minister Mark Carney has committed to respond in kind, dollar for dollar. Whether we should retaliate at all is a separate debate. Many, myself included, think it is potentially unwise. Retaliation adds to the costs on Canada’s economy, and it may not change American behaviour. But public opinion is behind it, and the government has made its choice.

THE TAKEAWAYA slow-moving system is developing near the Southwest Atlantic. This will cause days of rainfall across Florida and the Bahamas. Level 1 out of 4 flash flood risk has been issued for Friday, while a Level 2 out of 4 risk is in effect for Saturday. A slow-moving system is developing near the Southwest Atlantic as October ends, potentially bringing days of heavy rain, gusty winds and flash flooding to parts of the region. HOW HIGH PRESSURE AND LOW PRESSURE DRIVE THE WEATHERThis comes as an upper-level low becomes cut off from the main jet stream. Meanwhile, a strong ridge is building across eastern Canada and the North Atlantic, which could trap the system offshore for several days, allowing a broad area of low pressure to develop over the warm waters near the Bahamas and the western Atlantic. next North Miami Beach, Florida, pedestrian in crosswalk during heavy rain, downpour.

Super El Niño is brewing to bring an impactful winter Winter is near, and super El Niño is forecast to make it quite a winter to remember. FOX Weather Meteorologists Stephen Morgan, Bayne Froney, Britta Merwin and Craig Herrera break down the forecast and talk about past El Niño events similar to this one. Forecasts show this winter could see the strongest El Niño ever recorded, which could have significant impacts on different parts of the U. S. But will it look similar to the Super El Niños of history? According to the FOX Forecast Center, there have been three winters since 1990, which were Super El Niño: 1991-92, 1997-98 and 2015-16. SUPER EL NIÑO FUELED WINTER COULD UNLEASH MORE STORMS, DRIVING MORE ACTIVE PATTERN INTO THE SOUTHWhile 1991-92 and 1997-98 followed very similar patterns, 2015-16 took an entirely different route, proving that just because the climate pattern is the same, doesn't mean it'll have the same effects. Winter 1991-1992 In 1991, El Niño kicked off with a blockbuster snowstorm, a Halloween blizzard that slammed Minnesota and Wisconsin, burying parts of the state under feet of snow.

Thunderstorms linked to a rapid surge of asthma attacks Did you know thunderstorms can trigger asthma attacks? Changes in humidity, temperature and air pressure can worsen asthma symptoms, while storms may also spread airborne allergens. FOX News medical contributor Dr. Jessica Gray breaks down the science and shares real-world examples of storm-triggered asthma incidents. THE TAKEAWAYThunderstorms can break pollen into tiny particles that penetrate deep into the lungs. People with asthma, hay fever and seasonal allergies face the greatest risk. Specific storm conditions can trigger sudden asthma episodes. Thunderstorms often cast a dangerous yet beautiful display of natural weather patterns across the sky — one that can literally take your breath away in a "perfect storm" scenario. Medical experts say severe thunderstorms can trigger a sudden surge in asthma attacks, even among people who don’t typically suffer from the condition.
