"Nanwalek was in an emergency drought, we had to have water flown in for 60 households."

Residents in northeastern B.C. got quite the surprise over the weekend in the form of a large snowfall. While it's not entirely uncommon for towns in higher elevations to receive snow in August, getting a big dump is very unusual, said CBC meteorologist Brett Soderholm.

Storms tore more land away from Napakiak’s already heavily eroded riverbank in early August. About eight feet of bank fell into the Kuskokwim River, adding to the more than 100 feet of shoreline that has already been lost this year.

An “atmospheric river" is what it sounds like - a channel of very moist air coursing across the globe, up in the air. And it’s what’s been drenching parts of Alaska, including the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta.

"Jakolof Creek is dry almost all the way up to the switchbacks and continues to recede. The early run of red salmon may have made it to the lake, but that is probably the only run that has."

Some rather peculiar weather over the weekend struck 300 miles from the North Pole. Here’s why that may be the new normal.

More than a month’s worth of rain has soaked parts of the state in just a few days, setting records.

Lake Hopatcong, normally buzzing with swimmers and water skiers, is filled with cyanobacteria in quantities never before recorded.

An unseasonable rain event brought high rainfall and led to high water, especially around noon on August 3rd.

"We were lucky to have the berm in place. The next day, the water levels went down and the erosion was noticeable."

Warm water temperatures may be causing stress and increase the risk of infections and other illness in fish.

"Within a week we saw thousands of shearwaters along the beaches, and witnessed hundreds dead. They would sit on the tideline unable to walk, foraging on dead fish that had washed ashore and trying to feed on the fish in the nets of the set net sites as well."

Several ground slides close E39 between Førde and Skei in Jølster. More than 150 people must be evacuated.

Ingar Sægrov was killed in a landslide during extreme weather and heavy rain in Jølster, Norway, in July 2019. He remains at the bottom of Jølstravatnet Lake.

An unusually wet year is responsible for the biblical-seeming swarm of pallid-winged grasshoppers, according to entomologists.
