Greater water demand in the atmosphere means an increase in forest fire risk – for at least an extra 30 days per year – without urgent and effective climate action, finds new research

From 15 years of radar data, researchers show Melbourne’s rain often appears in ‘squall lines’ across the city, and they make a substantial contribution to total rainfall because of their size and motion

Antarctica’s pristine air and waters - and a unique shipboard laboratory - are helping researchers delve into climate change

Lessons in timely action to avert global disaster

We’ve all seen footage of tropical cyclones. But this is how they form and why climate change is reducing their number – but increasing their power

We lift the fog on cloud dynamics

Now we know the answer: It’s blowing in the (solar) winds
