Wyoming’s climate is famously variable, with pockets of heavy snow in the mountains while lower valleys may remain mostly dry ...

It’s important to note that all precipitation starts high in the sky, where the temperature is well above freezing, so it all ...

When water freezes, it releases latent heat, which can warm the near-surface air and raise temperatures to or above freezing, ...

To understand how global warming could influence future climate, scientists look to the Paleogene Period that began 66 ...

ABSTRACT: This study assesses future climate projections for the Nouhao sub-basin at three key temporal horizons (2050, 2070, and 2100) under different SSP scenarios. Using recent precipitation and ...

A deluge of rain caused flash flooding in New York City and surrounding regions. The extreme rainfall that occurred in the Northeast on Monday will likely occur more often in the future as a result of ...

This rapid transition between wet and dry weather conditions is a hallmark of climate change, and it’s also an accelerating climate threat. This phenomenon is called “precipitation whiplashes,” and ...

Observations of large valley networks on today’s Mars suggest formation by flowing water. However, most climate models cannot sustain temperatures above freezing. To understand this contradiction, a ...

Geologists weigh in on a long-running debate about Mars: Billions of years ago, was the Red Planet warm and wet or cold and dry? Visit ancient Mars -- a surprisingly temperate planet where snow or ...

Visit ancient Mars—a surprisingly temperate planet where snow or rain falls from the sky, and rivers rush down valleys to feed hundreds of lakes. A new study from geologists at the University of ...

With rising temperatures, the atmosphere can hold more moisture, meaning precipitation has a tendency to fall at more extreme levels. By Christina Kelso The severe storm system that has inundated the ...
