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.
Heatwaves are often the result of these bursts of warm, southerly air.
If greenhouse gas emissions continue at a high rate, breadbaskets of Europe and North America will see a 50% chance of a flash drought each year by the end of this century.
March 2023 was the wettest for 40 years in England and Wales.
North America’s boreal forests have been burning a lot, probably more and more over the past 60 years. Yet the long-term trend indicates that they are burning less than they were 150 years ago.
Cloud seeding – spraying materials into clouds to increase precipitation – has been around for nearly 80 years. But only recently have scientists been able to measure how effective it really is.
This year’s Sierra snowpack is looking a lot like 1983’s, and that was a year of flooding and mudslide disasters. A meteorologist explains what’s ahead.
