Recent temperature extremes have shattered previously observed records, reaching
intensities that were inconceivable before the events. Could the possibility of an event with …

Predictions of floods, droughts, and fast drought‐flood transitions are required at different
time scales to develop management strategies targeted at minimizing negative societal and …

Heatwaves are becoming more frequent under climate change and can lead to thousands of
excess deaths. Adaptation to extreme weather events often occurs in response to an event …

Executive summary Land and climate interact in complex ways through changes in forcing
and multiple biophysical and biogeochemical feedbacks across different spatial and …

Societally relevant weather impacts typically result from compound events, which are rare
combinations of weather and climate drivers. Focussing on four event types arising from …

Precipitation extremes will increase in a warming climate, but the response of flood
magnitudes to heavier precipitation events is less clear. Historically, there is little evidence …

Hydroclimatic extremes such as intense rainfall, floods, droughts, heatwaves, and wind or
storms have devastating effects each year. One of the key challenges for society is …

Compound weather and climate events are combinations of climate drivers and/or hazards
that contribute to societal or environmental risk. Studying compound events often requires a …

A flood forecasting system commonly consists of at least two essential components, that is, a
numerical weather prediction (NWP) model to provide rainfall forecasts and a …

Abstract The 2021 Pacific Northwest heatwave was so extreme as to challenge conventional
statistical and climate-model-based approaches to extreme weather attribution. However …
