The Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea are hot, yet hurricane season has entered a lull just days before its peak. Earlier this year, climate alarmists warned about elevated tropical activity due to 'climate change,' but their forecast has proven incorrect.

Meteorologist Ryan Maue has offered his take on why tropical development activity remains depressed:
The Atlantic tropics are completely broken, unable to produce tropical storms even w/off the charts "climate fueled" oceans. Our models no longer work, forecasters can't figure it out. This is not normal.

A swarm of thousands of mayflies took over a bridge in China - creating a slippery snow-like surface and paralysing traffic.

Ms. Lui, who was driving by the area, was left stunned when she saw the countless mayflies swirling in the air on Sunday (Sept 1).

The mayflies gathered in such large numbers that the ground was soon carpeted with their carcasses, creating a layer five centimeters deep.

The sudden onslaught of insects made the bridge's surface dangerously slippery, leading to a temporary paralysis of the traffic.

A magnitude 6.2 earthquake rattled Papua New Guinea on Thursday, the United States Geological Survey said, striking off the country's northern coast.

A photographer based in the provincial capital of Wewak told AFP there did not appear to be major damage in the immediate aftermath of the quake.

Earthquakes are common in Papua New Guinea, which sits on top of the seismic "Ring of Fire"—an arc of intense tectonic activity that stretches through Southeast Asia and across the Pacific basin.

A 2-year-old girl was attacked and brutally killed by a wolf in UP's Bahraich. This has increased the death toll in the city to an even 10. The previous nine victims were eight children and an elderly woman of 55 years of age. These incidents took place in the Mahsi area of Bahraich. The entire town shivers at the thought of these human flesh enthusiasts, the wild wolf packs.
