Update

Last year's snow deluge in California, which quickly erased a two decade long megadrought, was essentially a once-in-a-lifetime rescue from above, a new study found.

Proactive measures to protect people well before a heat wave are important because illness and death from heat are largely preventable. Caroline Metz is leading the development of a new heat resilience tool to help municipalities address their heat risk.

Spring is tornado season in the U.S., but the tornadoes in Nebraska and Iowa were quite a bit farther north and east of what would be typical for tornadoes in late April, when tornado activity is more common in Oklahoma and Texas.

More than two-thirds of workers have been exposed to excessive heat while doing their jobs, according to a new U.N. report, but few countries have taken steps to protect them as climate change makes heatwaves more frequent and intense.

For years, scientists have said that atmospheric rivers can either make or break the water supplies of thirsty California cities and farms.

Nature-based Solutions (NbS) promote coherency among various sectoral policies to secure climate resilient development. In the context of Assam, India, this is key to achieving the goals set out in the State Disaster Risk Reduction Roadmap 2030.

Extreme rainfall and floods have claimed many lives and caused economic and agricultural losses in East Africa and parts of the Arabian peninsular. Intense heat has gripped large parts of Asia, disrupting daily life and posing a serious health threat.

In India, climate scientists have also begun experimenting with AI and established a virtual centre dedicated to developing and refining various AI and ML techniques for enhanced weather predictions.

The diagnostic is expected to improve risk informed decision-making and enable the Government of Angola to develop a comprehensive strategy for long term financial planning to manage climate and disaster risk.

As climate change progresses, many predictions of what will happen are based on climate, rather than weather, meaning that an atmospheric river-like event can totally upend expectations.
