From mountain peaks to communities downstream, everything is connected. This #WorldDayForGlaciers, we highlight how glacier loss impacts water, food, and ecosystems worldwide. Learn how @theGEF supports resilience from source to sea: thegef.org/newsroom/blog/… #Glaciers2026

Glaciers sustain ecosystems and communities, yet they are melting at unprecedented rates. As we mark #WorldGlaciersDay, continued action and awareness remain essential. Hear from experts around the world: youtube.com/watch?v=rpT5CJ…

March 21: As is typical for this time of year, a double Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) is observed south of the equator; this pattern often persists into April.

California's snowpack has collapsed at a pace never seen before in late winter, the fastest late February–March melt on record. Spring snowpack is now on track to be the second smallest since records began in 1950, trailing only 2015, the lowest snowpack year in the Sierra Nevada in at least the last 500 years. Phillips Station, the state's most iconic snowpack measurement site, is expected to show bare ground on April 1, the date that has historically marked peak snowpack.

Glaciers are critical sources of water for billions of people. Preserving our glaciers is a survival strategy. 📻@unescocourier's latest podcast episode on glacier preservation featuring WMO Deputy Secretary-General, Ko Barrett, out now: bit.ly/4787CsR #WorldGlacierDay

Nepal faced a major environmental crisis in the 1970s as forests were degraded by grazing and fuelwood harvesting. After a 1993 law handed forest management to local communities, forest cover rebounded dramatically, rising from about 26% in 1992 to 45% in 2016 through community-led protection and natural regeneration.

This upcoming #WorldMetDay, we’re celebrating meteorologists, observers, forecasters, and experts behind the observations, forecasts and early warnings that save lives. 2⃣ days to go! 📹WMO SG Celeste Saulo’s message: bit.ly/4cTFr4t

...And, again today, a huge swath of the continental United States clear across from the Pacific Coast to Mississippi River is experiencing all-time March monthly record heat. Some locations are so hot that they are actually exceeding *April* all-time record highs. Incredible.

A new United States national temperature record for March of 110 degrees was provisionally set near Martinez Lake, Arizona on Thursday.

Glaciers cover 10% of Earth, but in Antarctica they blanket 99% and hold enough ice to raise sea level nearly 60 m if it all melted. Urgent climate action is needed to protect these glaciers and the Southern Ocean that help regulate our planet’s climate. 🌊❄️#WorldDayforGlaciers

It’s spring, you know what that means: monarch butterflies migrating north. Even better news? After years of declining population numbers, this year, they went up.

A record-breaking westerly wind burst is underway in the tropical western Pacific. It will blow copious amounts of warm water eastward, bolstering the odds of a strong or super El Niño later this year.

Happy vernal equinox! 🍀 Today marks the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and the first day of autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. After today, the Sun will shine more directly on the Northern Hemisphere than on the Southern Hemisphere until the autumnal equinox.

It’s the Spring Equinox—astronomical spring begins today. Meteorological spring started March 1. Learn why they’re different: ncei.noaa.gov/news/meteorolo… How do YOU mark spring?
