Babies and young children are often at the greatest risk of heat-related mortality.

For Australia, we helped develop a comprehensive review of the latest climate science to guide preparedness for future floods. This showed the increase per degree of global warming was about 7-28% for hourly or shorter duration extreme rain.

Forward-looking thinking is hugely important, including in the humanitarian sector. Recurrent poor seasonal forecasts should trigger ‘preparedness on steroids’, as one observer called it.

The State of the Climate in Latin America report, accompanied by an interactive story map, complements the WMO State of the Global Climate flagship. It informs decisions on climate change mitigation, adaptation and risk management at regional level.

Across the continental U.S., intense single-day precipitation events are growing more frequent, fueled by warming air that can hold increasing levels of moisture.
