New research clarifies the role of water vapor in rainfall, a complex relationship that remains mysterious.

A thunderstorm in Argentina a few years ago included what scientists now call "gargantuan hail," hailstones measuring between 7.4 and 9.3 inches across.

Mangrove trees, which grow in coastal waters and have dense and stable root structures, may be one useful tool for staving off damage from hurricanes.

The 2020 hurricane season will see 18 to 22 named storms forming in the Atlantic basin, researchers report.

"We need to pay particular attention to combined extremes of heat and humidity, which are especially dangerous to human health."

A new algorithm that predicts almost real-time flow of floodwater during hurricanes could improve emergency response and planning.

Financial markets aren't taking into account the effects extreme weather and climate change could have on the future of the economy, a researcher warns.

As the climate warms, the Gulf Coast will become even more susceptible to extreme storm surges, research finds. That's especially true for New Orleans.

"Don't be misled by the stats, it can happen any time, we simply don't know when and right now we can't predict when."
