Tropical Cyclone Steering Change
Global warming affects large scale weather patterns and the weather systems embedded within such as tropical cyclones (also called hurricanes and typhoons). Research has documented several recent changes in tropical cyclone steering such as increased stalling and shifts toward higher latitudes.

Earth Systems Signals
Global warming is causing widespread and rapid changes in the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere and biosphere.
Heat Signals
The Earth is getting hotter due to human activities that release heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere.
Drought Signals
Climate change is making droughts more likely to occur, and more severe when they do.
Wildfires Signals
Climate change is increasing the size, frequency, intensity and seasonality of wildfires.
Hurricanes Signals
Warmer temperatures increase the rate of water evaporation, which feeds moisture and energy into storms.
Floods Signals
Worsening floods due to climate change are putting a growing number of communities at risk.
