Oceans made warmer by climate change are fueling more intense Atlantic hurricanes. Climate Central’s tools and resources bring climate context to hurricane season. bit.ly/4xk58mv#climatematters via @climatecentral
Humidity makes extreme heat even more dangerous. New research and tools show how climate change is making humid heat worse — and putting health at risk. buff.ly/g4THUKT#ClimateMatters via @climatecentral
Warmer air can hold more moisture. With climate warming since 1970, hourly rainfall rates have increased in 129 U.S. cities — bringing higher flood risks. buff.ly/dOFRoe9#ClimateMatters via @climatecentral
Two-thirds of North American birds are vulnerable to global temperature rise. As the planet gets warmer, hundreds of bird species may no longer call much of the U.S. home. buff.ly/xaq4TmT#ClimateMatters via @climatecentral
🏔️Western snowpack hit record lows for April 1, after a record-warm winter and extreme March heat.
These natural water towers are shrinking—raising risks for water supply and wildfires as drought persists through June.

🥶☃️ Freezing cold temps & a parade of winter storms, this was a memorable winter, but it wasn’t as cold as you think! It was actually the 2nd warmest on record for the Lower 48! @ClimateCentral Dr. @ZLabe reminds us one cold winter does not negate climate change. #climatematters
☕️Coffee runs thru my veins, I need it, clearly 🫣 But prices have become more volatile, hitting record highs, in part due to extreme heat. @ClimateCentral found Brazil, the world’s top coffee producer, added 70 extra coffee harming heat days with #climatechange. #climatematters
💕Did your sweetheart get you sweet treats for #ValentinesDay❣️🍫 Chocolate itself has a sweet spot, but it could be getting too hot for the cacao plant in West Africa, the biggest producer of cocoa. @climatecentral#climatematters
🚄The nation’s vital but aging roads, railroads, bridges, and ports face growing risks. Here are some proven ways to make transportation more resilient to the climate. buff.ly/QQzRYq7#climatematters via @climatecentral
Despite the cold temperatures gripping much of the U.S. this month, long-term data show that winters are getting shorter across the U.S. Warmer, shorter winters have year-round effects on water supplies, ecosystems, crops, and more. buff.ly/ZD324UY#climatematters via @climatecentral
It’s official: 2025 was Earth’s third-warmest year on record. buff.ly/4V2nuvT
Yes, the Earth's been hotter than it's been now but rarely at this rate of change. Whether or not it's a problem is where your beliefs come in.

🤓 Attribution science helps us measure how much more likely, frequent, or intense specific weather events have become because of human-caused climate change. #climatematters via @climatecentral
NYC and Philly has the best marathon running weather in the United States! However, those crisp, cool running days are becoming less frequent. 👟 buff.ly/Qmo2bw2#climatematters via @climatecentral
The first freeze is arriving later in 179 U.S. cities compared to 1970 — leading to worse fall allergies, lingering pests, and even reduced summer fruit yields. bit.ly/later-first-freeze-in…#climatematters
