Why are our best climate models getting tropical cyclone forecasts wrong?
Over 80% of CMIP6 models project warming patterns directly contradicted by real-world observations. This study explains why & a way forward.

Examining the financial repercussions of recent tropical cyclones While the humanitarian toll is devastating, the overall financial impact on the region is forecast to be relatively contained, primarily because the major industrial and commercial heartlands were largely spared from the worst destruction.

My colleagues bring out a great point: The cost of rebuilding will be higher this storm season if tariffs push lumber and other building materials higher. #hurricanes #tropicalcyclones #atlantic

The next Australian cyclone could be less than a week away With already nine tropical cyclones developing since December, and one potentially forming this week, Australia's busiest cyclone season in 19 years could be on the cards.

The next Australian cyclone could be less than a week away.

With 9 tropical cyclones since December, this is already one Australia's busiest cyclone seasons for nearly 20 years.
