New research identifies three specific orientations of atmospheric phenomena occurring near the equator over the Maritime continent that increase the probability of severe U.S. weather events three to four weeks later.

Scientists determined that by increasing the accuracy of weather forecasts over the last decade, consumers netted at least $384 million in energy savings. The researchers based their predictions on NOAA's High Resolution Rapid Refresh model, which provides daily weather forecasts for every part of the U.S. These include wind speed and direction data, which utilities can use to gauge how much energy their turbines will produce.

Summer 2022 is approaching. It will be under the continued influence of the La Nina, which will create a hotter than normal and drier Summer …

The post *Summer 2022 Update* Latest forecast confirms a searing season is ahead for the United States and Europe appeared first on Severe Weather Europe.

After the very active and well-above-average Atlantic hurricane season last year, we again forecast that 2022 is likely to be the seventh consecutive above-average season. …

The post Atlantic Hurricane Season 2022 is forecast to be 7th straight above-average activity with a higher probability of major hurricanes making landfall along the continental United States coastline appeared first on Severe Weather Europe.

Deep sand movements stirred up by intense storms may offset some of the impacts of coastal erosion caused by sea level rise.

In the coming weeks, the weather patterns will readjust, creating near Summer-like conditions in the parts of the United States. Parts of western and central …

The post 10-Day Forecast: New weather patterns will bring unusually warm weather into parts of the United States and Europe as we head closer to Summer appeared first on Severe Weather Europe.

Using future projections from the latest generation of Earth System Models, a recent study found that most of the world's ocean is steadily losing its year-to-year memory under global warming.

Neural-Fly technology could one day build the future of package delivery drones and flying cars.

A new study has revealed the most intense heatwaves ever across the world -- and remarkably some of these went almost unnoticed decades ago.

Storms in the Sahel region, which can reach over 100km in size, have become more extreme since the 1980s due to global warming, with more intense rainfall. An online portal will enable forecasters in West Africa to provide communities with earlier and more reliable warnings about large storms.

A new study provides a framework for a snowpack decision support tool that could help water managers prepare for potential flooding during rain-on-snow events, using hourly data from existing snow monitoring stations.

The collapse of the Polar Vortex has shaped the weather in the past weeks. But now the latest forecasts show that these effects are diminishing …

The post MAY Weather Forecast: Polar Vortex collapse effect is now subsiding, but what will the new pattern look like, as we head for the last Spring month? appeared first on Severe Weather Europe.

Researchers used supercomputers to run high-resolution climate simulations that show how historically-impactful storm events could look in a warmer world. The researchers simulated five of the most powerful storms that have hit the San Francisco Bay Area since 1984, then projected how these historical storms would look in 2050 and 2100. They determined that some of these extreme events would deliver 26-37 percent more rain by 2100.

As reservoir levels dwindle in the Southwest, scientists have developed a method to estimate summer rainfall in the region months in advance. These seasonal predictions can enable state and local officials to make key reservoir and water allocation decisions earlier in the season and support more efficient water management.

A research team has created simulations from coupled climate and hydrologic models that demonstrate widespread increases in the occurrences of flash flooding events across most of the United States.

La Nina has defied its breakdown in the tropical Pacific Ocean. Cold anomalies are for now stable, extending their weather influence into the Summer season. …

The post ENSO Weather: La Nina has strangely reversed its collapse, but how will it now impact the weather as we head towards the Summer and into the late year? appeared first on Severe Weather Europe.

A record-setting rainstorm over Kaua'i, Hawai'i in April 2018 resulted in severe flash flooding and estimated damage of nearly $180 million. The deluge damaged or destroyed 532 homes, and landslides left people along Kaua'i's north coast without access to their homes. Atmospheric scientists have now revealed that severe supercell thunderstorms were to blame.

Mother Nature almost repeats itself late this week, as yet another major winter storm develops across the United States. For the third time in less …

The post Another Major Winter Storm with snow heads for the northern U.S. and southern Canada, with more severe weather for the Great Plains and Midwest appeared first on Severe Weather Europe.

Scientists have noticed grave disparities in artificial intelligence, noting that the methods are not objective, especially when it comes to geodiversity. AI tools, whether forecasting hail, wind or tornadoes, are assumed to be inherently objective, says one of the researchers. They aren't, she says.
