The sky is pale blue in higher altitudes while it is deeper blue in lower altitudes. This is because there is more air molecule closer to earth surface (as a result of higher air pressure) than higher altitudes. The air molecules are responsible for scattering of sunlight hence giving the sky its blue hue. The more the air molecules the more the scattering.
Although global human impact (global warming) is not to be ignored, this is mainly because of the El Nino in the <span>central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean.
If you're in the Eastern USA, its messing with the jet stream the high/low pressure ridges, causing the cold front to not be within the Northeastern USA area this year.
If you're in other areas far enough I don't know, global warming?

Globalzation uses up recources quicker, it increases carbon minoxide emissions, and it increases oil prices.
Hope this helped!
If you're referring to streams/rivers of water that run independently of another source in the ocean these are referred to as "currents" and can be very powerful depending on their location.
