Extreme Weather

1 report
Research on Extreme Weather uses observations, reconstructions, and models to understand a component or driver of the climate system. Current understanding relies on wildfire weather and floods, with uncertainty tracked across measurement, classification, and reconstruction.

Model results and droughts connect the immediate finding with its wider evidence base. The account examines which observations support attribution and how exposure changes impacts, showing how sparse measurements or incomplete records limit certainty.
