Tropical cyclones account for almost four in five natural disasters across Pacific Island nations. But a new forecasting tool now gives up to four months warning for the upcoming cyclone season.
Is our changing climate making regions of the US more suitable for ticks and mosquitoes that spread diseases? Or is the climate changing human physiology making us more vulnerable?
The dolphin population in parts of Western Australia more than halved one year, just as an El Niño event hit over in the Pacific. So what’s the connection?
New research shows that global warming has already begun to exacerbate extremes of rainfall in the Pacific region – with more to come.
The Australian monsoon delivers most of northern Australia’s rainfall and is a vital feature of life in the region. But why does it occur?
February 2016 was the hottest month by the biggest margin ever. Does that mean global warming has gone into hyperdrive?
Since 1999, Australia has swung between drought and deluge with surprising speed, because El Niño has fallen into sync with similar patterns in the Indian and Southern Oceans.
The Great Barrier Reef might get all the attention, but what about our western coral reefs? Warmer waters and human impacts mean these reefs are in trouble.
We wait in anticipation of droughts and floods when El Niño and La Niña are forecast but what are these climatic events? The simplest way to understand El Niño and La Niña is through the sloshing around…
Over the last two summers, Eastern Australia has experienced two of the hardest hitting La Niña events since 1974. Widespread floods resulted across great swaths of the country. As expected, the La Niña…
While most people now understand that the enhanced greenhouse effect means a much warmer planet, communicating regional shifts in weather remains a significant challenge. As with most complex science…

A quarter of the extreme precipitation that led to the Queensland floods has been found to have come from a third, until…
Little Penguins off the coast of Perth are being found dead - starved, battered, and in some cases almost completely beheaded - as elements both natural and manmade conspire against them. Penguin Island…
