Climate change is not thought to increase the number of hurricanes, typhoons and cyclones worldwide. But rising temperatures ...
The ocean is an important carbon sink that absorbs 20–30% of the total anthropogenic CO2 emissions in the industrial era (1.0–3.0 Pg annually, 1 Pg = 1015 g). Tropical cyclones are among the most ...
We issues alerts in many instances when the Climate Shift Index identifies a notable extreme weather event around the world that was made more likely by human-caused climate change. Climate Matters is ...
In March 2026, a tropical-like cyclone named "Jolina' produced significant damage across North Africa. In 2020 and 2023, storms Ianos and Daniel both caused severe damage in Greece, and the latter ...
Tropical cyclones (TCs) are among the most powerful manifestations of atmospheric dynamics, driven by interactions between warm ocean surfaces, moisture-laden air and large-scale circulation patterns.
Climate change intensified Cyclone Chido as it barrelled toward the Indian Ocean archipelago of Mayotte, said a preliminary study by scientists studying the link between global warming and tropical ...
Tropical Cyclone Alfred was no normal cyclone. Firstly, it moved the wrong way. Most cyclones that form in the Coral Sea move east then out to sea by the time they get as far south as Brisbane. This ...
Beyond direct injuries, exposure to tropical cyclones is associated with higher risks of death across a range of causes including kidney, heart and lung diseases, neuropsychiatric conditions, and ...
New Stanford-led research sheds light on an overlooked climate consequence: the impact of tropical cyclones on schooling opportunities and education in low- and middle-income countries. The study, ...
Cyclone Alfred has now been delayed, as the slow-moving system stalls in warm seas off southeast Queensland. Unfortunately, the expected slow pace of the cyclone will bring even more rain to affected ...
Tropical cyclones are complex atmospheric vortices powered by ocean–atmosphere heat exchange and organised convection. In a warming climate, rising sea surface temperatures and enhanced moisture ...
