Hurricane Beryl turned into a monstrous Category 5 storm after making landfall in the southeast Caribbean, killing at least two people. What is its projected path?
Beryl was the earliest Category 4 Atlantic hurricane on record, besting Hurricane Dennis, which became a Category 4 on July 8, 2005. Beryl amassed its strength from record warm waters.
As the first heat wave of the season ripples across the U.S., summer camps are working to keep their children cool while still letting them enjoy being outside with nature. It's something camps say they’ve been aware of for several years as climate change means rising heat. #summercamp #uswe…
As temperatures soar, so does the risk of heat stroke, heat exhaustion or dangerous sunburn. Knowing quickly what to do can be critical when seconds count.
Heat index readings combining temperature and humidity were expected to surpass 100 degrees in many locations, possibly setting some all-time records.
Human-caused climate change turbocharged the odds of this month's killer heat that has been baking the Southwestern United States, Mexico and Central America, a new study found.
Local officials are preparing for what could be a record heat wave. "It looks like the worst of it is going to be tomorrow (Tuesday)." — NWS Meteorologist Joe Villani.
Bye bye, El Nino. Cooler hurricane-helping La Nina to replace the phenomenon that adds heat to Earth
The strong El Nino weather condition that added a bit of extra heat to already record warm global temperatures is gone.
Heat is the top cause of weather-related deaths, killing more people than hurricanes, tornadoes and floods combined. Last summer’s staggering 31-day streak claimed victims of every age, race and gender.
An analysis of federal data shows that about 2,300 people in the United States died in the summer of 2023 with their death certificates mentioning the effects of excessive heat.
