Extreme Weather Toolkit: Severe Weather

The relationship between severe storms and climate change is an active area of research.

Extreme Weather Toolkit: Snow & Ice

The timing, location, and amount of snowfall is shifting across the U.S. 

Extreme Weather Toolkit: Drought

Rising global temperatures are altering the water cycle and increasing the risk of drought in parts of the U.S.

Extreme Weather Toolkit: Wildfire

More frequent hot, dry, windy conditions contribute to more wildfires that put people and ecosystems at risk. 

Extreme Weather Toolkit: Tropical Cyclones

Warming oceans fuel stronger tropical cyclones that bring more heavy rainfall and higher storm surge when they make landfall.

Extreme Weather Toolkit: Coastal Flooding

Coastal flooding is on the rise. Rising sea levels will continue to increase both tidal flooding and flooding from extreme weather events.
