A study published in Geophysical Research Letters indicates that North Atlantic sea surface temperatures can predict extreme climate events, such as reduced rainfall and severe drought,…

Forecasting extreme weather events, like deadly heat waves, remains challenging despite advancements. Traditional supercomputers excel at predicting such rare occurrences but require significant time and energy.…

The article discusses the need for better preparedness for unexpected disasters, sparked by recent events like the Marshall Fire and the Hunga Tonga volcanic eruption. The…

El Niño has been confirmed in the Philippines, with an 80% chance of it continuing until early 2027, according to PAGASA. This weather phenomenon leads to…

The article highlights a positive trend over recent years: the absence of global “mega-disasters” since 2010, unlike the devastating events of the 2000s, which collectively claimed…

This year’s World Tsunami Awareness Day marks 20 years since the devastating 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, which resulted in 225,000 deaths across 14 countries. The event…

A new study warns that by the 2090s, nearly one-third of the global population—around 2.6 billion people—could experience significantly increased occurrences of simultaneous heatwaves and droughts.…
