Can Hurricane Fiona give us a hint about what future climate change might bring to Eastern Canada? Unravelling this question could lie in understanding ancient storm records.
Heat pumps are essential for the large-scale adoption of more carbon friendly heating systems and recent research suggests a way forward for reducing one of the technology’s biggest hurdles — frost.
A new study shows that river barriers, similar to those built by beavers, can protect areas at risk of flooding by storing water upstream.
Humans (particularly those in the Northern Hemisphere) generally prefer the heat, a bias which has hampered effective climate communications for decades.
Now is the perfect time to read Jansson’s novel – a book that will make you nostalgic for childhood summers.
As extreme weather events increase in frequency and severity, many Canadians are still unaware of how to prepare for a natural disaster.
Many heat-related health problems can be avoided by adopting a healthy, active lifestyle. But the younger generation is less active than previous generations, and therefore more vulnerable.
Climate anxiety is real and must be considered as a core component of any climate mitigation or adaptation and resilience strategy.
What’s going on with the weather in Australia? It’s partly the result of natural drivers of our weather – and partly due to global warming.
The bad news: Extreme heat is probably going to stick around for a couple of more years.
Heat exposure is inevitable for those who work or are active outdoors. A heat acclimation protocol, combined with heat-mitigating strategies, is the best defence against heat-related injuries.
Europe is gripped by a heatwave called Cerberus - it may be a sign of things to come.
Three economists looked at years of temperature and death data and calculated the costs when forecasts miss the mark.
The last time England was this hot in June a young Queen Victoria sat on the throne.
An El Niño weather-warming phase is underway in the Pacific – but what does this mean for the weather in Europe?
Temperatures plummeted across southeast Australia this week, with Canberra experiencing its lowest temperature since 2018 and the lowest for June since 1986. What’s going on?
A new report lays out steps communities can take to help their residents survive heat waves as the risk of dangerous temperatures rises.
A number of environmental factors, including thunderstorms, are likely to be contributing to the current hay fever havoc.
The official forecast calls for a strong El Niño by winter, but other models suggest it might dip in and out. An atmospheric scientist explains.
