Hurricane forecasters are debuting a new model they hope will better predict when some storms will suddenly and explosively intensify

Miniature satellites called CubeSats will collect meteorologic data that NASA hopes will help explain how and why some tropical storms intensify as they approach land

New research says climate change was responsible for yet another withering heat wave, which baked South Asia in April

Solar-powered balloons detected strange, ultra-low-frequency rumblings in Earth’s stratosphere that, so far, scientists can’t identify

A potentially record-setting heat wave is headed for the Pacific Northwest and western Canada, a sign of the shift to hotter—and earlier—summers

Tornado outbreaks are moving from Texas and Oklahoma toward Tennessee and Kentucky, where people may not be prepared

A severe geomagnetic storm created auroras that were visible as far south as Arizona in the U.S.

A massive storm shocks southern California with cold temperatures, strong winds and abundant moisture, causing extremely rare blizzard conditions and potentially unprecedented snowfalls

Scientists and companies are scrambling to find new ways to squeeze more rain from the skies as climate change intensifies drought

California has been hit by repeated storms fueled by torrents of moisture called atmospheric rivers that will only intensify in a warming climate

It may sound counterintuitive, but a warming climate can actually lead to bigger snowstorms
