The death toll from landslides and flooding in the Philippines triggered by Tropical Storm Megi has risen to at least 115, as search teams found more bodies in mud-buried villages. Eighty-six of the casualties were in Baybay, a mountainous area prone to landslides in central Leyte province, where 236 people were also injured, the city government said in a report.

Climate change helped fuel stronger, wetter storms during an unusually active Atlantic hurricane season in 2020, a new study finds. The cyclones produced significantly more rainfall than they would have in a world without global warming.

For the fourth week in a row, the continental United States will experience a multi-day severe weather outbreak.

KUALA LUMPUR: About 12,000 people in Malaysia have been evacuated from their homes, officials said on Sunday (Feb 27), after heavy rains caused flooding in the country's east coast states.

"Climate change is here and now," said Rep. Pramila Jayapal. "If a 1,200 year mega-drought isn't enough to make people realize that, I don't know what is."

Monday's study says the megadrought is now the worst-case scenario officials and scientists worried about in the 1900s. The drought deepened so much in 2021 that it is 5 percent worse than the old record in the late 1500s.

Ice blanketed the dunes of Ain Sefra in Algeria in the unusual phenomenon in the largest hot desert in the world, where temperatures of 58C have been recorded.

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
