“Twisters,” the sequel to the 1996 movie, “Twister,” pleasantly surprised audiences with enticing action sequences, well-developed characters and noteworthy cinematography. The special effects that created weather visuals may pique the interest of audiences, but the Computer Generated Imagery’s (CGI) scientific accuracy remains a question. Meteorologists comment on the portrayal of weather and scientific technology in this film and describe inaccuracies within the movie.

El Niño, the phenomenon that changes global winds, began in late July of 2023. This occurrence will negatively impact ocean productivity in the Pacific Ocean and bring abnormal weather conditions, specifically to East Asia and the Western Americas. Ultimately, citizens can expect to see weather changes as the El Niño season endures.

A massive fire rages over the Omeo region of Australia, with CNN reporting that “three fires have form[ed] a...blaze bigger than...Manhattan.” The wildfires in Australia started early September with small fires spreading across New South Wales before spreading to the greater Sydney region. With the effects of climate change ever-present in Australia and a massive drought only adding to the problem, it seems like these flames will not fan out any time soon.

Outside NC, the sky sits in a grey, sallow state. This Friday marks the 5th day in a row that the weather remained in gloomy, with the constant downpour of rain serving as another marker of consistency; it seems like the trend will continue on for at least one more day, as weather predictions list a 100 percent chance of precipitation for Sunday. This gloomy atmosphere seems like it found a way within the school walls, as the often colorful school halls now look far less lively.

Where are you, sun?

Soaking up the sun and the first day back from break, NC students share stories about their fun-filled February vacations while enjoying the breezy weather in the courtyard. While most students stayed in state for the break, some road tripped to bordering states or flew across the country to visit friends and family. With the end of the year in sight, students used this break to rest and recharge to make sure they head into the last stretch of the school year strong.
