A historic deep freeze that crippled Texas. A deadly hurricane that wreaked havoc from the Gulf Coast to the Northeast. A record-shattering heat wave and historic drought in the West. And a devastating, out-of-season tornado outbreak that tore through towns in the Central and Southern US.

A new study projects that more hurricanes will be coming to midlatitude regions, which include major population centers such as New York, Boston and Shanghai, because of climate change.

The death toll from powerful tornadoes that devastated towns in Kentucky is likely to pass 100, the governor says, as hope of finding survivors wanes. Andy Beshear said this was the most devastating tornado event in the state's history, with at least 80 confirmed deaths.

If you cause a collision on the first snow day of the year, it’s not an “accident"; it's because you're a dope

The agency has created an ambitious $200 million center to predict future outbreaks — but diseases are a lot harder to model than storms.

Northern California faces flash flood risk and threat of mudslides, especially in fire-charred areas

Infrastructure that wasn't built to handle warmer, wetter climate is increasingly risky.

The remnants of Hurricane Ida caused torrential rain, devastating floods and tornadoes.

Raging California wildfires jumped across the oft-snowy Sierra for the first time in recorded history

On a sweltering summer afternoon almost a decade ago, Meenu Tewari was visiting a weaving company in Surat in western India. Tewari, an urban planner, frequently makes such visits to understand how manufacturing companies operate. On that day, though, her tour of the factory floor left her puzzled.

There is abundant evidence that changes in the climate, both increased temperature and reduced precipitation, are making wildfires worse in the western U.S. The relationship between climate and wildfire seems obvious and universal: hotter + drier = more and worse wildfire. Yet the diversity of wildland areas in the western U.S. means that not all ecosystems respond in the same way to a hotter and drier climate. Understanding how and why climate change has different effects on wildfire is essential for effective management of our natural areas.

Advisories have been issued in New York City, Philadelphia, Portland, Oregon, and Washington, D.C.

The highest temperature ever recorded in Europe was reported on 11 August. The town of Syracuse on the Italian island of Sicily reached 48.8°C, 0.8°C higher than the previous European record

Extreme heat waves that previously only struck once every 50 years are now expected to happen once per decade because of global warming, while downpours and droughts have also become more frequent, a UN climate science report said on Monday.

The summer of 2020 brought fear of Covid-19, social distancing – and heat-related health problems that affects tens of millions of Americans. During those months, more than a quarter of the US population suffered from the effects of extreme heat, according to a study released this week. People reported health symptoms like nausea and cramps, as well as a decreased ability to focus, and the effects hit low-income households the hardest.

As the southern European nation battles hundreds of wildfires, Prime Minister Mitsotakis has warned that the country is facing its worst heat wave for 30 years. Extreme weather in 1987 claimed more than 1,500 lives.

From record rainfall inundating cities around the world to wildfires scorching an unprecedented area to deadly heat waves that have come with unrelenting regularity this summer, extreme weather linked to climate change is unfolding with frightening clarity.

A combination of intense heat and drought conditions is causing wildfires in Western Canada to generate their own weather systems, experts say.

More than a billion marine animals along Canada’s Pacific coast may have died last week as a result of the record-breaking temperatures in British Columbia. The unprecedented heat wave that hit western Canada and the north-western U.S. saw temperatures soar to record highs in late June and early July, killing as many as 500 people and triggering hundreds of wildfires, mainly in British Columbia.
