A new study led by the University of Oxford and ETH Zurich reveals that a key part of the climate system—the large-scale wind patterns that determine where rain falls—can be underestimated by current ...

Climate change is making rainfall harder to predict, as shifting wind patterns challenge climate models and increase ...

Hundreds of miles from the U.N. conference on climate change that wrapped this weekend in Belém, Brazil, scientists are conducting a first-of-its-kind experiment that could help future policymakers ...

We've been watching temperatures climb, extreme weather events intensify, and ice sheets shrink. Every weather forecast and climate projection relies on incredibly complex computer simulations that ...

Much of south-eastern Australia is currently in the grip of a heatwave, which is expected to peak over the next two days. Heatwaves often trigger bushfires, particularly if combined with strong winds.

Rising temperatures, changing rainfall patterns and extreme weather events create ideal conditions for pathogens and their vectors – such as mosquitoes, midges and ticks – to thrive. Some of the ...

University of Geneva-led research says machine learning forecasts underestimate intensity, frequency of heat waves, cold ...

La Niña brought Arizona a record-warm winter and a spring heat wave, so what would a 'super' El Niño have in store?

A new study led by the University of Oxford and ETH Zurich reveals that a key part of the climate system - the large-scale ...
