Get ready for an increase of atmospheric moisture. Not only will it feel like the triple digits due to the rise in humidity, but we will have enough moisture around to support showers and storms.

These atmospheric rivers, invisible yet powerful corridors of moisture, play a key role in the continent’s climate dynamics, particularly in influencing snow and rainfall patterns.

A new study published last week in Nature Communications reveals that rising levels of atmospheric moisture caused by climate change are expected to dramatically increase the frequency and intensity ...

Flash flood reports at this time last year were up 30%, but there hasn't been an increase every year. Both 2022 and 2023 were below the 10-year average in terms of flash flooding reports. So while ...

Atmospheric rivers are responsible for most flooding on the West Coast of the U.S., but they also bring much-needed moisture to the region. The size of these storms doesn't always translate to ...

The result of the increase, the simulation predicted, could be that the frequency of atmospheric rivers over Antarctica doubles by the end of the century, with the precipitation that these events ...

A high-end atmospheric river will sweep into British Columbia’s North Coast this week Even though fall just began, B.C.'s looming pattern will be more reminiscent of the end of the season rather ...

Large parts of the central and eastern U.S. have seen at least 50% more precipitation than normal. An atmospheric scientist ...

Atmospheric rivers are responsible for most flooding on the West Coast of the U.S., but also bring much needed moisture to the region. The size of these storms doesn’t always translate to flood risk, ...
