El Niño looms large as we head into the Australian summer. But can everyone expect hot and dry weather? What drives the weather in your state?
El Niño usually brings hot, dry weather to Australia. But the rains that have drenched eastern Australia are normal too.
Severe bleaching is forecast to hit 12 Indonesian marine protected areas every year by 2030 – then spread to other areas. Here’s what locals, experts and the government say we need to do to save them.
Daily global temperature records keep breaking. It’s a sign we’re on a rapidly warming planet.
As Australia heads into summer with an El Niño, it’s important understand and prepare for the health risks associated with extreme weather.
An atmospheric scientist explains how El Niño works, this year’s oddities and why this phenomenon doesn’t last long.
It’s spring, but many street trees look stressed and sick. Heat and insect attack are arriving early. But our cities are also steadily losing canopy cover.
The preliminary global-average temperature anomaly for September is a shocking 1.7°C. These are the drivers of current record-breaking heat.
Many people are asking if Australian authorities are ready for the fire season. The real question to ask is – are we ready as individuals?
Extreme heat and bushfires bring unique challenges for someone with dementia. Here’s how we can all play a part in helping them stay safe and cool this spring and summer.
New research reveals how trees respond to extreme heat. Most trees lose more water than models predict. Some species cope better than others. Access to water will be critical for the hot summer ahead.
There’s nothing normal about the blast furnace heat much of the world has been experiencing, as an atmospheric scientist explains.
Africa’s future looks catastrophic if we don’t act now on climate change.
A hurricane scientist explains the conflict between 2023’s abnormally high ocean heat and the storm-disrupting wind shear accompanying El Niño.
It’s not just ocean temperatures that determine whether we have El Niño or La Niña. Air circulation also plays a role, and it’s changing in unexpected ways.
Forecasters warned of ‘potentially historic rainfall’ and ‘dangerous to locally catastrophic flooding.’ A hurricane scientist explains what El Niño, a heat dome and mountains have to do with the risk.
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.
The predicted El Niño is a worry, but it doesn’t guarantee the record-breaking heat we’re seeing in parts of the Northern Hemisphere.
