A new international analysis has found that the world's oceans absorbed more heat in 2025 than in any year since the start of modern measurements. The 2025 heat gain totalled 23 zetta joules—equivalent to roughly 37 years of global primary energy consumption at 2023 levels, when the world used about 620 exajoules annually.

Chinese researchers have recently made strides in improving precipitation forecast using a novel approach that combines physics and artificial intelligence (AI). The study, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, was conducted by a research team led by the Institute of Atmospheric Physics (IAP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

A research team led by Prof. HUANG Gang from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics has made strides in improving precipitation forecasting using a novel approach. They employed data and computational power to improve the precipitation forecasting capabilities of numerical models.
