El Niño Oil Surge Could Lift Global Inflation — Jul 24, 2026JPMorgan warns that a battle-ready El Niño paired with elevated energy costs could keep inflation stubbornly high, with food prices especially vulnerable and emerging markets bearing the brunt. The oil shock, supply disruptions, and higher diesel and fertilizer costs could push global inflation higher and delay rate cuts in food-sensitive economies.

Moke Not Expected to Make Landfall in HawaiiWeather — Aug 19, 2026Hawaii faces another potential tropical storm or hurricane this weekend as a developing system near the islands could strengthen to tropical cyclone and pass close to the Big Island, bringing heavy rainfall and possible impacts similar to the flood-and-mwind damage from Hurricane Lala; forecasters say the storm could be named Iselle or Moke depending on its development and location. The ongoing El Niño-driven season, the memory of Lala’s devastation, and multiple disturbances monitoring near Hawaii keep residents on alert for additional rainfall, flooding, and power outages over the coming days.

Indonesia Expands Cloud-Seeding as Borneo Fires Rage — Aug 18, 2026Indonesia is intensifying cloud-seeding to quell El Niño–driven wildfires in Borneo, reporting hundreds of missions since 2021 as peatlands burn and regional haze worsens.

Gas Prices Rise Across U.S. Amid Iran TensionsFinance — Jul 20, 2026Gas prices are climbing across Texas and the nation, with Texas averages around the mid- to high-$3s and the national average near $4 per gallon, driven by supply disruptions from the US-Iran conflict and Hormuz Strait tensions; diesel remains notably expensive in Texas. The rising costs are compounded by extreme heat increasing fuel use and electricity bills, while climate patterns like a potentially very large El Niño could further elevate prices for groceries and other essentials, affecting households and voters alike.
