GPS During Storms Could be Dangerous!

GPS (global positioning systems) signals messed up during storms are indeed tricky and risky for drivers and pilots. But undependable they may be during weather disturbances, this very same haywire activity could prove useful to NASA and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). Scientists from both institutions have discovered that the wind speeds and wind strength of tropical cyclone storms can actually be predicted by just how messed up the actual GPS satellite signals are.

Some areas of Australia's cities will be up to 3.7 degrees hotter by 2050 due to the growth of urbanisation according to new research data Australia will experience the "urban heat island effect" in which temperatures will rise in built-up areas with more asphalt and concrete. Researchers from the University of NSW say the rising temperatures will enhance the effects of climate change.
