# Utah wildfire forces evacuation of small town as extreme heat roasts US west

Town of Eureka evacuated due to risk from Iron fire as officials forecast more hot weather in week ahead

Extreme heat and dry, windy conditions are fueling multiple wildfires across the US west, including a massive blaze in [Utah](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/utah) that forced the evacuation of a small town, with hot weather in the forecast raising the risk of more blazes in the week ahead.

The Iron fire in Utah’s Juab county was first detected on Saturday and has so far blackened more than 2,000 acres. The fire, about 70 miles (113km) south-west of Salt Lake City, forced the evacuation of Eureka, population 1,000, and people at a nearby ranch.

No homes had been lost, and Utah Fire Info, a multi-agency operation, said in a post on X that firefighters conducted a successful operation to protect the town.

Kelly Wickens, a fire prevention specialist with the Utah division of forestry fire and state lands, warned that the fire was continuing to grow amid drought conditions. Wickens said the fire was human-caused and remains under investigation.

Spencer Cox, the governor of Utah, visited the town on Sunday. “We knew that there was going to be extreme fire danger, and sure enough we had multiple fires,” Cox said.

The Iron fire was one of six fires burning in Utah at varying levels of containment.

In neighboring Colorado, the south-west corner of the state was under a red-flag warning issued by the National Weather Service until Monday, due to gusty winds and low relative humidity.

## 2. A super El Niño threatens disaster. Trump is handling it recklessly | Terry Garcia - The Guardian

### Summary

This month, NOAA confirmed the formation of El Niño in the tropical Pacific and issued an official advisory. Forecasters expect it to strengthen through the winter of 2026–27, with a 63% chance it will reach the “very strong” threshold, placing it among the strongest events in the modern record dating back to 1950. In a world already experiencing record heat, such an event could bring more dangerous extremes: drought, wildfires, flooding, and in the Pacific, a more active hurricane season. And, as is always the case, these events disproportionately affect the most vulnerable. [...] If we allow these systems to remain vulnerable to political whims, an extreme event will eventually catch us unawares. An unexpected flood, a failed harvest or a catastrophic storm will be dismissed as an unavoidable act of nature. The famines of 1877 were also attributed to fate, but they largely resulted from failures to anticipate and respond. [...] In 1877, North Americans experienced an unusually mild winter – it was known as the “year without a winter”. It coincided with one of the strongest El Niño events ever recorded. Scientists suspect the same El Niño was a major factor in one of the worst environmental disasters in history. As much of the world was enveloped in drought, harvests collapsed in India, China, parts of Africa, and Brazil. The drought, compounded by colonial and other socioeconomic policies, led to the “Great Famine”, which killed between 30 and 60 million people, about 3% of the world’s population at the time.

# A super El Niño threatens disaster. Trump is handling it recklessly

Terry Garcia

The administration interrupted data streams that are key to forecasting. These systems should not be vulnerable to political whims

In 1877, North Americans experienced an unusually mild winter – it was known as the “year without a winter”. It coincided with one of the strongest El Niño events ever recorded. Scientists suspect the same El Niño was a major factor in one of the worst environmental disasters in history. As much of the world was enveloped in drought, harvests collapsed in India, China, parts of Africa, and Brazil. The drought, compounded by colonial and other socioeconomic policies, led to the “Great Famine”, which killed between 30 and 60 million people, about 3% of the world’s population at the time.

What distinguishes us from the victims of 1877 is not luck but data. When I served as deputy administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, I saw modern ocean monitoring and forecasting provide the advance warnings the Victorians lacked. This lead time saves thousands of lives and billions of dollars each year. Today, we can anticipate climate shocks before they arrive.

This month, NOAA confirmed the formation of El Niño in the tropical Pacific and issued an official advisory. Forecasters expect it to strengthen through the winter of 2026–27, with a 63% chance it will reach the “very strong” threshold, placing it among the strongest events in the modern record dating back to 1950. In a world already experiencing record heat, such an event could bring more dangerous extremes: drought, wildfires, flooding, and in the Pacific, a more active hurricane season. And, as is always the case, these events disproportionately affect the most vulnerable.

In the face of this evolving threat, the Trump administration has sought to cripple our forecasting capabilities. This spring, the National Science Foundation (NSF) began “[descoping](https://oceanobservatories.org/2026/05/nsf-ooi-descoping-update-for-the-community/)” the Ocean Observatories Initiative, a network that delivers real-time ocean data from more than 900 sensors. “Descoping” is bureaucratic language for dismantling the program. The agency announced plans to pull all sensors, buoys and other equipment from four of the program’s five sites. These arrays span from the Gulf of Alaska to the Irminger Sea between Greenland and Iceland, and down to the waters off North Carolina. Built over a decade at a cost of approximately $386m, the system is among the most advanced ocean-observing networks in the world.

Make no mistake. Pulling these arrays was not a budgetary exercise. Rather, NSF’s actions are more properly viewed as an extension of the Trump administration’s broader assault on federal climate science. The objective is apparently to weaken the programs that measure climate change and then claim the problem is “uncertain”. But turning off the alarm does not put out the fire.

The scientific community and members of Congress reacted to NSF’s actions with fierce objections. In a rare display of bipartisan unity, the Senate unanimously passed a bill introduced by senators Lisa Murkowski and Jeff Merkley to prohibit the use of federal funds to dismantle the network until a thorough review is conducted. Last week, the NSF announced it would [stop the removal](https://www.nsf.gov/news/update-ocean-observatories-initiative), keep the system running, and redeploy the sensors that had been pulled out of the water.

But this is merely a temporary reprieve, and the system remains at risk. The NSF has paused its actions and deferred the network’s future to a yet-to-be-convened panel. Sensors have already been removed, and data streams have been interrupted. Their redeployment after removal is not equivalent to uninterrupted operation. We should not have to rely on last-minute interventions to preserve systems critical to protecting lives and property.

While these sensors don’t detect El Niño formation, they measure deep-ocean temperature, the best gauge of how much excess heat the planet is absorbing. Independent researchers warn that removing US observations like these would [increase the error](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/jun/05/trump-plan-ocean-monitoring-system-concern-scientists) in annual ocean-heating estimates by 163%, degrading forecasts and early-warning sy

### Summary

Is climate change fuelling El Niño?

Scientists are still working out the exact relationship between climate change and El Niño. Still, climate experts agree that the frequency of strong El Niño events is likely to increase this century due to climate change.

The World Meteorological Organization has also warned this year's El Niño "will pour fuel on the fire of a warming world", exacerbating existing climate impacts like drought, heavy rainfall and heatwaves.

## Wetter weather in southern US

During an El Niño, the southern US starts to experience wetter conditions in autumn, says Johnson.

Increased rainfall will provide some much-needed relief to drought-stricken states in the southeastern US but "there is also an enhanced risk of flooding", says Johnson. [...] Skip to content

# The risk of a 'super' El Niño is rising. Here's what it means for North America

Isabelle Gerretsen

The Pacific weather event is under way and likely to intensify in the coming months. This is what it means for hurricane season, food harvests and weather across the US and Canada.

El Niño – the Pacific weather pattern that pushes up global temperatures – has started and is expected to intensify throughout the year, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) announced on 11 June. [...] This natural phenomenon occurs when sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean are 0.5C (0.9F) higher than normal for several consecutive months and it typically occurs every two to seven years. The world recently emerged from its cooler counterpart, La Niña.

El Niño and La Niña

El Niño and La Niña are naturally occurring phenomena, which result from variations in ocean temperatures and easterly winds in the Pacific Ocean, and disrupt weather patterns worldwide. During El Niño, surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean are consistently higher than normal. During La Niña, ocean temperatures are lower than normal.

# The risk of a 'super' El Niño is rising. Here's what it means for North America

Isabelle Gerretsen

**The Pacific weather event is under way and likely to intensify in the coming months. This is what it means for hurricane season, food harvests and weather across the US and Canada.**

El Niño – the Pacific weather pattern that pushes up global temperatures – has started and is expected to intensify throughout the year, [the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) announced](https://www.noaa.gov/news-release/el-nino-forms-expected-to-strengthen-say-noaa-forecasters) on 11 June.

This natural phenomenon occurs when sea surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean [are 0.5C (0.9F)](https://www.noaa.gov/news-release/el-nino-forms-expected-to-strengthen-say-noaa-forecasters) [higher than normal](https://www.noaa.gov/news-release/el-nino-forms-expected-to-strengthen-say-noaa-forecasters) [for several consecutive months](https://www.noaa.gov/news-release/el-nino-forms-expected-to-strengthen-say-noaa-forecasters) and it typically [occurs every two to seven years](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/enso/). The world recently emerged from its [cooler counterpart,](https://www.climate.gov/news-features/blogs/enso/april-2025-enso-update-la-nina-has-ended) [La Niña](https://www.climate.gov/news-features/blogs/enso/april-2025-enso-update-la-nina-has-ended).

El Niño and La Niña

[El Niño and La Niña](https://www.bbc.com/newsround/64237803) are naturally occurring phenomena, which result [from variations in ocean temperatures and easterly winds](https://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/ninonina.html) in the Pacific Ocean, and disrupt weather patterns worldwide. During El Niño, surface temperatures in the Pacific Ocean are consistently higher than normal. During La Niña, ocean temperatures are lower than normal.

Scientists forecast a [63% chance of sea surface temperatures exceeding 2C](https://cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/enso/roni/strengths/) (3.6F) later this year. This would make it a "very strong" or "super" El Niño. The last event of this kind [occurred in 2015-2016](https://www.bbc.com/weather/articles/cvgzn11v421o) and resulted in [a new global temperature record](https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/2015-state-climate-el-ni%C3%B1o-came-saw-and-conquered) and a 500-year drought in the Caribbean. *(Read more on why*[*El Niño could be the strongest in decades*](https://www.bbc.com/news/resources/idt-54f4e985-a7fb-48b2-8246-f3be0d699402)*.)*

The disruption will be felt [most in the tropics](https://www.noaa.gov/understanding-el-nino), but a strong El Niño will also lead to weather changes across North America, bringing wetter and stormier conditions to the south and drier, hotter temperatures to the north. Here's what scientists say may lie ahead in the coming months.

## **Quieter Atlantic hurricane season**

The earliest impact North America is likely to experience is [a quieter-than-normal Atlantic hurricane season](https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/how-does-el-nino-impact-atlantic-hurricane-season/), between June and November.

"During an El Niño, the wind environment isn't favourable for hurricane or tropical cyclone development [in the Atlantic]," says William Baule, an atmospheric sciences researcher at Texas A&M University. The increased wind shear makes it harder for thunderstorms to form into hurricanes, he explains.

Forecasters at Noaa expect a below-normal hurricane season in the Atlantic this year, suggesting at most [six hurricanes and 14 storms could emerge this year](https://www.noaa.gov/news-release/noaa-predicts-below-normal-2026-atlantic-hurricane-season), with potentially three of these becoming major hurricanes and reaching Category 3 or higher. An average season has 14 storms with seven hurricanes, including three major ones.

Meanwhile, in the Pacific Ocean, [hurricane activity is expected to increase](https://www.aoml.noaa.gov/how-does-el-nino-impact-atlantic-hurricane-season/) as warmer waters provide more energy for storms to form. This is mainly expected to impact western Mexico, says Nat Johnson, a meteorologist in Noaa's El Niño–Southern Oscillation forecast team.

"Even though Hawaii does not see direct landfalls from hurricanes that often, the risk is enhanced during an El Niño year," Johnson adds.

Is climate change fuelling El Niño?

Scientists are [still working out the exact relationship](https://www.imperial.ac.uk/grantham/publications/climate-change-faqs/what-is-el-nino/#_ftn1) between climate change and El Niño. Still, climate experts agree that the frequency of strong El Niño events is likely [to increase this century](https://www.ipcc.ch/srocc/chapter/chapter-6/) due to climate change.

### Summary

## Climate change is the driving force behind the heat

World Weather Attribution, a Europe-based collaborative of scientists who study the causes of global extreme weather events, began assessing in 2015 the extent to which those could be attributed to climate change caused by the burning of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas. The organization’s rapid attribution studies, including this one, aren’t peer-reviewed but use peer-reviewed methodology.

The current study used observed temperature data and forecasts for an analysis of the heat wave that started on June 18.

It also found that 45% of the 850 cities analyzed across 30 European countries have broken, or are expected to hit, records for heat stress levels, a measure that includes humidity and temperature. [...] TOP STORIES

Those heat stress seasons are also lasting longer.
