This cycle between extremely dry conditions and extremely wet conditions is known as "hydroclimate whiplash," and in an eerie coincidence, Swain and colleagues, including Danielle Touma, a climate ...

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 ...

Scientists suggest the two extremes could be related through a phenomenon known as “hydroclimate whiplash”, defined by volatile swings between very wet and very dry conditions – with climate ...

The state's naturally variable climate increases its wildfire risk. Hydroclimate whiplash -- the rapid shift between wet and dry conditions -- likely contributed to the severity of the wildfires ...

Scientists are calling this flip-flopping between extremes of wet and dry ‘hydroclimate whiplash’. It describes intense periods of extreme but different weather, which lead to more devastating ...

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. In recent years ...

A new review of over 200 papers finds this 'hydroclimate whiplash' has increased considerably, most likely due to the atmosphere's rising capacity for absorbing and retaining moisture. And as our ...

Floods, droughts, then fires: Hydroclimate whiplash is speeding up globally New research links intensifying wet and dry swings to the atmosphere's sponge-like ability to drop and absorb water Date ...

Wildfires in California highlight the dangers of “hydroclimate whiplash,” where rapid weather shifts fueled by climate change lead to escalating natural disasters. As California oscillates between ...

Hydroclimate whiplash – a term for the phenomenon of savage seasonal swings between catastrophic rain and sapping drought – is increasing, fast. Driven by an atmosphere stoked hotter by the ...

And the heating planet causes a phenomenon that San Jose State Climate Scientist Eugene Cordero says is known as "hydroclimate whiplash." "Where you go from dry, to wet, back to dry," Cordero said.
