Canada, and particularly the Canadian Arctic, is warming at a considerably higher rate than the global average. The consequences for Canada could be devastating.
A heatwave in 2022 redefined scientific expectations of the Antarctic climate. Now the global community must prepare for what a warmer world may bring.
These tiny songbirds have extraordinary memories for the tens of thousands of spots where they hide food. But that doesn’t help when heavy snow blocks their access.
Winter running has all the health benefits of aerobic exercise, as well as fresh air. However, be aware of the specific safety and injury-prevention concerns that come with cold weather.
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?
Hot temperatures seem to lead to aggression, both in real life and online.
Research shows that the distribution of temperate hardwoods (sugar maple, red maple and yellow birch) could be shifting northward, which would have serious consequences for the boreal forest.
Global climate models don’t let us zoom in on the fine details. A new set of high-resolution climate models for Australia is solving this problem.
The forest fires of the summer of 2023 in Québec were devastating. It was the worst year in 50 years. But with climate change, the worst may be yet to come.
Storm Ciarán unleashed extremely strong and destructive winds in parts of the southern UK and northern France – here’s why.
Storm Ciarán is the UK’s third named winter storm since September.
More than 800 lives were lost in the Royal Charter storm but it also led to improvements in weather forecasting.
Solar power generation varies greatly depending on the weather. A new study suggests in some parts of Australia, solar has a bright future.
Britain doesn’t have huge violent twisters like the US. But it does have lots of little tornadoes.
Transboundary climate risks can cross borders, continents and oceans to affect communities on the other side of the world. Africa’s new roadmap seeks to address this.
The preliminary global-average temperature anomaly for September is a shocking 1.7°C. These are the drivers of current record-breaking heat.
Dams are usually built to withstand heavy rainfall or drought.
An ‘omega block’ helped Storm Daniel wreak devastation in Libya.
Further research is needed in order to quantify the costs of extreme heat so we can reduce its damaging effects now and in the future.
