Rainfall exhibits pronounced variability across space and time, from convective bursts lasting minutes to seasonal monsoon patterns extending over thousands of kilometres. In hydrological modelling ...

One of the most pervasive misunderstandings of climate — even among some who publish on climate — is the belief that any long-term trend in a measured climate variable indicates a change in climate, ...

We adapt a semi-Bayesian hierarchical modeling framework to jointly characterize the space–time variability of seasonal precipitation totals and precipitation extremes across the Northern Great Plains ...

El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is known to have a significant impact on climate across the Pacific, including Hawai'i, and adjacent continents. However, atmospheric scientists have now revealed ...

New research led by Monash University sheds a new perspective on forecasts of future rainfall in Victoria, showing that recent dry conditions may not fully reflect long-term climate change signals.

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 ...

A new global assessment on food systems and climate vulnerability warns that climate change is fundamentally reshaping global ...

An international study investigates the health consequences of heavy rainfall events. Researchers analyzed the relationship between precipitation patterns and mortality rates at 645 locations across ...

HYDERABAD: For years, Hyderabad’s weather followed a familiar pattern. Summers were hot, the monsoon brought most of the year’s rain and winters remained relatively dry. However, a 42-year analysis of ...

With unique monsoon, mesoscale and submesoscale processes, the Indian Ocean offers critical insights and new challenges to ...
