And in the midst of the weather news, scientists from major meteorological associations around the world reported that human-caused climate change drove 2024 to be the hottest year in human history.

Climate change is causing the weather to get more erratic across the U.S. Rain storms that used to happen once in a lifetime now occur every few years. Heat waves are hotter, and last longer.

But how do scientists figure out how much climate change is to blame for a specific weather event? Researchers use a variety of techniques for this work, which is called extreme event attribution.

The world's climate has become more unpredictable, leading experts to coin the term "global weirding." The rising temperatures are creating extreme weather that looks different all across the globe.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will no longer track the cost of climate change-fueled weather disasters, including floods, heat waves, wildfires and more. It is the latest ...

The NOAA does critical work on climate science and weather monitoring, which is needed when extreme weather events hit. Its weather forecasting models are also what power everyone’s weather apps ...
