You've probably heard wildfire smoke is bad for you, but how bad? Our new paper in Sci Rep shows even low-level wildfire-specific PM2.5 (10–50 µg/m³) is linked to more hospital encounters (e.g., heart attacks, heart failure, AFib, cardiac, COPD & PE). doi.org/10.1038/s415... @science.nature.org

I’ve updated the long-running (starts 1866) CRU Southern Oscillation Index (SOI). This lets us compare the currently developing El Niño with earlier events including 1877-78. 2026 has developed very quickly, similar to the 1997-98 one. Thick line is 3-month running mean, with y-axis reversed.
