Europe has been experiencing dozens of extreme weather events in recent weeks, from blistering heatwaves to raging storms. ...

Los Angeles is burning, and accelerating hydroclimate whiplash is the key climate connection. After years of severe drought, dozens of atmospheric rivers deluged California with record-breaking ...

Hydroclimate whiplash – rapid swings between intensely wet and dangerously dry weather – has already increased globally due to climate change, with further large increases expected as warming ...

Hydroclimate whiplash -- the rapid shift between wet and dry conditions -- likely contributed to the severity of the wildfires burning in Southern California, according to experts.

“We’re in a whiplash event now, wet to dry, in Southern California,” said Daniel Swain, a UCLA climate scientist who led the research. “The evidence shows that hydroclimate whiplash has ...

'Increasing hydroclimate whiplash may turn out to be one of the more universal global changes on a warming Earth,' said lead study author Dr Daniel Swain, climate scientist at UCLA.

Hydroclimate whiplash is a growing global threat, intensifying the extremes of flooding and drought. In California, this cycle creates conditions for wildfires, landslides and water management crises.
