Florida’s coral reef tract was hit by an unprecedented marine heat wave that triggered the most severe bleaching season ever recorded in the region. The damage went far beyond whitening corals, exposing how vulnerable one of the nation’s most important reef systems has become in a warming ocean.
California’s biggest reservoirs are still in relatively solid shape, but a brutal spring heat wave and one of the weakest April snowpacks on record have changed the tone fast. Water agencies are now warning that if dry conditions persist into summer, conservation rules and local restrictions could return sooner than many residents expected.
