An academic collaboration assessing how climate change shapes extreme weather events.
A multi-country heatwave has pushed Europe to record temperatures, with the UK recording its hottest June day. Health alerts remain in place in parts of Europe as authorities warn of heat-related risks and disruptions to transport and daily life.
An intense, early‑season heatwave has shattered June temperature records across western Europe and has caused dozens to die. France has reported dozens of drownings and at least 55 heat-linked deaths; meteorological agencies have placed many regions under red alerts. Scientists have said human‑caused climate change has made this event far more likely.
A sweeping heat wave across Europe has pushed temperatures to new records, stressing power grids, transport and health systems. France, Germany, the Czech Republic and the UK have reported record highs, with authorities warning of heat-related risks as humidity worsens conditions. Hospitals are bracing for increased demand while governments consider measures to protect vulnerable populations.
The Climate Change Committee has urged ministers to invest in cooling measures for public services and workplaces, set a maximum indoor temperature, and strengthen flood, water and energy infrastructure as part of a 2050 adaptation plan. The report warns of rising heat, floods and droughts with potential billions in annual damages unless action is taken.
A series of extreme weather events across southern Asia has intensified, with heavy rainfall triggering floods in parts of China while India and Pakistan endure ongoing heatwaves. Authorities warn of continuing heat and flood risks in coming days as climate-linked patterns drive extreme conditions.
Pilgrims continue the Hajj in Mecca under extreme heat. Reports outline heat-avoidance measures, a fragile Iran-US war ceasefire backdrop, and a global energy crisis shaping the pilgrimage this year.
A global study shows that nearly 80% of data-center capacity faces acute climate hazards, with chronic risks affecting over half of markets. Utilities and investors are urged to rethink site selection, cooling, and risk models as climate pressures intensify.
The World Cup faces scrutiny as mandatory three‑minute hydration breaks are debated amid concerns about heat safety, momentum loss, and commercial interests across host cities.
A European heatwave has intensified, with temperatures surpassing 30C in multiple countries. Scientists say human-caused climate change has made such heatwaves more likely and severe, while authorities report rising strain on hospitals, power grids, and transport. The heatwave is prompting new warnings and policy responses across the continent.
