Heat in Southern Europe 👇 & North America impossible without human-induced climate change - new World Weather Attribution study. Totally unsurprising but important result. This is what climate change looks & feels. We need to adapt, we need to stop making it worse. worldweatherattribution.org/extreme-heat-i…

The first formal event attribution of the Kerala Floods of 2018, led by Manish Dhasmana, supported by Mariam Zachariah. We highlight the nuances of and difficulty in attributing extreme hydrological events to climate change. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…

The first WWA attribution addressing a humid heat extreme, that of the terrible heat of South Asia in April 2023, thanks to a large international collaboration. @INSU_CNRS IPSL 🌍 Xaida Project

South & Southeast Asian humid heatwave shows again huge impact of climate change on heat. Despite this only 1 out of the 4 countries analysed has heat action plans in place. worldweatherattribution.org/extreme-humid-…

This is the first time we’ve animated part of the methods and results of a World Weather Attribution study.

Attribution science involves a huge amount of statistical and modelling analysis, so we hope this video will be a start to demystify our methods.

Devastating drought in Horn of Africa would not have been a drought if it wasn't for climate change - striking result in our new World Weather Attribution study worldweatherattribution.org/human-induced-…

triple la nina, climate change fuelled high temperatures, vulnerability key drivers of sever drought outcomes in Central South America - new @wxrisk study worldweatherattribution.org/vulnerability-…

The suffocating heat over Argentina and Paraguay this month was made 60x more likely and 1.4C hotter by climate change. In Latin America, mortality risk per 1C increase in extreme heat escalates particularly steeply in the heatwave-affected northern Arg. worldweatherattribution.org/climate-change…

Dr Friederike Otto @wxrisk Dr Friederike Otto talks at length about the @wxrisk analysis of the devastating Pakistan floods on BBC Science in Action this week. As ever, the story is more complex and nuanced that first meets the eye, but the implications for future climate remain alarming.

New @wxrisk study: Climate change exacerbated extreme rainfall responsible for devastating Pakistan floods but historically rooted vulnerability and inequality also play a crucial role. worldweatherattribution.org/climate-change…

40C in London in July 2022 would have been 36C without human-caused climate change - new rapid @wxrisk study highlights huge role of climate change in deadly heat. worldweatherattribution.org/without-human-…

It is hot in Europe & will potentially be extremely hot. These temperatures would have been lower if it wasn't for our burning of fossil fuels. This also means fewer people would have died. Heatwaves are by far the deadliest extremes in Europe (this includes the UK!)@wxrisk

NEW STUDY: #Climatechange & high vulnerability worsened damage in Northeast #Brazil floods

'Our findings underline the importance of prioritising adaptation of vulnerable communities to climate extremes', says lead author Mariam Zachariah
