It threatens to compound the worst effects of climate change.
Pennsylvania logged 852 severe weather reports from March through June – more than double the 30-year average. A meteorologist explains what keeps the storms coming.
Extreme storm surges can be predicted much faster with high accuracy thanks to a new AI model that helps researchers and practitioners improve coastal flood risk assessment and adaptation planning.
Freak tropical-like storms are highly sensitive to climate change and as a result, could be coming soon to the Mediterranean.
Analysis reveals some of NZ’s worst droughts occurred before 1950 – meaning recent experience may not reflect the full scale of future risk in a warming climate.
It’s been a very warm and dry autumn for much of southern Australia – and winter looks set to be similar.
Days of intense rain and snowmelt overwhelmed old dams and breached roads, forcing evacuations. Nearly half the counties in Michigan – often seen as a climate haven – were under a state of emergency.
Media reports have suggested a “super” El Niño is looming. The problem is, these autumn forecasts are notoriously unreliable.
The northwest of Australia is one of only a few places in the world that experience tropical cyclones in the desert.
In 2009, the combination of a cyclone, atmospheric waves and warm moist air triggered a record-breaking heatwave. It’s happening again.
Tropical storms are guided by many different wind patterns: big, like the Bermuda high, and small. A hurricane researcher explains their role in why so many storms veered off into the Atlantic in 2025.
The backlash was swift and intense. Now the Bureau of Meteorology will have to make changes to its new website.
Large parts of the central and eastern U.S. have seen at least 50% more precipitation than normal. An atmospheric scientist explains why and what creates flash flood weather.
The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program has been particularly important for understanding when a hurricane is about to rapidly intensify, a dangerous situation for coastal communities.
A meteorologist explains three essential components of NOAA hurricane data collection that forecasters everywhere rely on yet are being targeted for federal cuts.
One long line of powerful winds can whip up dust storms, spread wildfires, spin up tornadoes and fuel blizzards – all at the same time across different states.
Heavily populated south-east Queensland is bracing for Cyclone Alfred to make landfall on Thursday.
Why ‘sensitive dependence on initial conditions’ makes predicting the future so hard.
Éowyn’s wind speeds are comparable with the most infamous storms of recent years and decades.
