Last year's snow deluge in California, which quickly erased a two decade long megadrought, was essentially a once-in-a-lifetime rescue from above, a new study found.

In this publication, researchers exploit the km-scale convection-permitting multi-model ensemble, generated within the FPS Convection project, to provide a new understanding of the changes in local precipitation extremes and related uncertainties.

Extreme rainfall and floods have claimed many lives and caused economic and agricultural losses in East Africa and parts of the Arabian peninsular. Intense heat has gripped large parts of Asia, disrupting daily life and posing a serious health threat.

This study compares the projected individual and combined impacts of climate change (CC) and land-use change (LUC) on future droughts (2021–2050), with respect to baseline (1981–2010) in one of the major tributaries of the Mekong River.

As climate change progresses, many predictions of what will happen are based on climate, rather than weather, meaning that an atmospheric river-like event can totally upend expectations.
