Thunderstorms over the Himalayas are pushing water vapor past the boundary of our breathable atmosphere. This research found that ice plumes above storm clouds play a bigger role in this than we thought. Read more:doi.org/10.1007/s00376-025-5…

We finally know how rain reaches one of Central Asia's most remote mountain plateaus. 🌧️ The Hindu Kush corridor is the key while the Indian Summer Monsoon and Tibetan Plateau Monsoon together control it. Learn more: doi.org/10.1007/s00376-025-5…

India’s heat risk is also a monsoon story. Goswami et al. highlight rising humid heat-stress extremes and rainfall extremes in South Asia; India may account for about half of global potential productivity loss from heat stress.

What triggers record coastal rainfall in South China? The answer starts far upstream.
This research points to the Indochina Peninsula as a hidden driver. Curious how? Read it here: doi.org/10.1007/s00376-026-5…

The 2025 Los Angeles Wildfires in @AASjournal. Hot drought and Santa Ana winds drove the destructive January 2025 fires, causing widespread hazardous air pollution. This collection explores atmospheric drivers and strategies to reduce future risks. link.springer.com/collection…
March 2025 large-scale wildfires in South Korea generated PM2.5 exceeding 246 µg m⁻³ near fire sites, with smoke rapidly transported across borders to degrade air quality in western Japan within 24 hours. New study in @AASjournal. doi.org/10.1007/s00376-025-5… #WorldEnvironmentDay

Only 37% of cold surges ever cross the equator. We dug into 40 winters of data to find out why. The answer? It is not about surge strength. It is about what the tropics are already doing.

Cities that cycle more, breathe better. Simple idea. Complex science.
This #WorldBicycleDay, what do you think is the biggest barrier to cycling becoming mainstream? We want to hear from you.👇

Grapefruit-sized hail sounds unreal but it’s becoming more possible in a warming world. This week’s @nature
cover story looks at how climate change may be fuelling larger and more destructive hailstorms, led by Qinghong Zhang at #PekingUniversity.
