Extreme weather events attribution

Climate change caused the maximum wind speeds generated by roughly 80% of Atlantic Basin hurricanes from 2019 and 2023 to intensify by an average of 18 miles per hour, according to a new Climate Central study.

For the first time on record, four named tropical systems were simultaneously active in the Western Pacific Ocean in November: Typhoon Yinxing, Typhoon Toraji, Super Typhoon Usagi, and Super Typhoon Man-Yi.

Carbon Brief has mapped every attribution study published to date, revealing that three-quarters of the extremes analysed were made more intense or likely due to climate change.

This latest iteration of the Carbon Brief 's interactive map includes more than 600 studies, covering almost 750 extreme weather events and trends.

This study is assessing the role of anthropogenic climate change in the occurrence of prolonged extreme climate conditions favourable for the development of summer 2022 Landes wildfires.

The World Weather Attribution (WWA) initiative was founded in 2014 aiming to study where climate change played a key role and where other factors were the main drivers of the events.

A new study used the 2023 heat wave in Texas and Louisiana as a test case for establishing processes that test out whether particular weather events are climate related.

Climate change is increasingly influencing fire behavior worldwide and intensifying fire smoke, endangering public health from air pollution caused by fires. These are the results of two new climate change impact attribution studies.

UFZ researchers estimate that climate change contributed to roughly one-third of the drought intensity.

The Climate Shift Index (CSI) shows human-caused climate change significantly increased the likelihood of extreme heat in Japan, with temperatures 5-8°C above normal. This highlights the growing impact of climate change on the region’s weather patterns.
