A warmer, wetter atmosphere, coupled with slowing jet stream winds and a greater tendency for weather patterns to stall, may have contributed to the worst flooding since 2012

Weather has always been extreme, but the summer of 2023 has experienced a new level of heat, drought, biblical flooding and billion-dollar weather and climate disasters.

Over a thousand fires are still raging across Canada, but other signs of a rapidly warming climate are showing up, including record ocean warmth and longer, stronger heatwaves across the planet. Here are the 5 trends that may show a climate tipping point.

Meteorologists are seeing things they never thought they would see, like water temperatures approaching 100 degrees and heat indices over 150 degrees - all symptoms of a warming climate

In a warming world "flash droughts" are coming on faster, with less warning and less time to prepare.

Fasten your seat belt, because clear air turbulence has increased, with some of the biggest increases in big mid-air bumps coming high above the United States.
