Weather disasters killed 2 million in last 50 years, U.N. agency says 2021-09-01T04:00:00Z "The number of weather, climate and water extremes are increasing and will become more frequent and severe in many parts of the world as a result of climate change," said WMO Secretary-General Prof Petteri Taalas. Climate change: Big increase in weather disasters over the past five decades 2021-09-01T04:00:00Z Developing countries are expected to receive financial assistance to comply with the new policy and will benefit through improved access to key data themselves, the WMO said. U.N. weather agency plans data overhaul to improve forecasts 2021-06-25T04:00:00Z Until recently, the WMO recommended such updates each decade but required them only every 30 years. NOAA unveils new U.S. climate ‘normals’ that are warmer than ever 2021-05-04T04:00:00Z Each year the WMO follows a list of 21 names for Atlantic hurricanes. Hurricane Names from Greek Alphabet Are Dropped 2021-03-25T04:00:00Z The naming change is being made for several reasons, the WMO said in a news release. Weather panel ends use of Greek names for Atlantic hurricanes, retires deadly 2020 storms 2021-03-17T04:00:00Z “The Greek alphabet will never be used again as it was distracting and confusing,” the WMO tweeted. Greek letters "will never be used again" to name hurricanes 2021-03-17T04:00:00Z The new policy still be approved by all 193 WMO members at another meeting in October. U.N. weather agency plans data overhaul to improve forecasts 2021-06-25T04:00:00Z "The WMO Region IV committee will also discuss the topic at its annual meeting in mid-March." The 2021 hurricane season names and dates: What could be next for East Coast? 2021-02-27T05:00:00Z The WMO says that strategy caused confusion and distraction in 2020, when there were a record 30 Atlantic storms. Hurricane Names from Greek Alphabet Are Dropped 2021-03-25T04:00:00Z The WMO committee decided to retire four storm names in 2021 because of the death and destruction they caused. Weather panel ends use of Greek names for Atlantic hurricanes, retires deadly 2020 storms 2021-03-17T04:00:00Z The decision was made this week during a meeting of the WMO’s Hurricane Committee. Greek letters "will never be used again" to name hurricanes 2021-03-17T04:00:00Z “Severe gaps in data and weather observations, especially in Africa and island states, have a major negative impact on the accuracy of early warnings both locally and globally,” WMO secretary-general Petteri Taalas said. U.N. weather agency plans data overhaul to improve forecasts 2021-06-25T04:00:00Z A less visible sign of change was a surge in marine heat to record levels, with more than 80% of the global ocean experiencing a marine heatwave, the WMO said. 2020 likely world's second hottest year, U.N. says 2020-12-02T05:00:00Z To work out the annual rise in temperatures for their State of the Climate report, the WMO uses information from five different global datasets. Climate change: 2020 set to be one of the three warmest years on record 2020-12-02T05:00:00Z Much of central Europe had extensive drought, with a record 43-day spring dry spell in Geneva, home of the WMO. UN: Warmer world in 2020 busted weather records, hurt people 2020-12-02T05:00:00Z Eta and Iota forced the WMO to reconsider those plans. Greek letters "will never be used again" to name hurricanes 2021-03-17T04:00:00Z However, the WMO described the projected 2020 drop as a “tiny blip” and said the resulting impact on the carbon dioxide concentrations that contribute to global warming would be no bigger than normal annual fluctuations. Surge in greenhouse gases sustained despite COVID lockdowns: U.N. 2020-11-23T05:00:00Z But figures for the whole year remain unclear, and WMO said preliminary estimates indicate a reduction in annual global emissions of between 4.2% and 7.5%. UN: COVID-19 lockdowns slashed pollutants, not CO2 levels 2020-11-23T05:00:00Z With data available from January to October this year, the WMO says 2020 is set to be around 1.2C above the baseline, but with a margin of error of 0.1C. Climate change: 2020 set to be one of the three warmest years on record 2020-12-02T05:00:00Z By the time it ends, 2020 will go down as one of three warmest years on record, despite a La Nina cooling of the central Pacific that often lowers temperatures globally, the WMO report said. UN: Warmer world in 2020 busted weather records, hurt people 2020-12-02T05:00:00Z Use of the Greek alphabet generated a lot of headlines in 2020 because it was so rare, but that took attention away from the actual impacts of the storms, the WMO said. Greek letters "will never be used again" to name hurricanes 2021-03-17T04:00:00Z But the WMO said this was a “tiny blip” in the continuous buildup of greenhouse gases in the air caused by human activities, and less than the natural variation seen year to year. Climate crisis: CO2 hits new record despite Covid-19 lockdowns 2020-11-23T05:00:00Z The details are published in the WMO's annual greenhouse gas bulletin. Climate change: Covid pandemic has little impact on rise in CO2 2020-11-23T05:00:00Z Despite this, the WMO is certain that 2020 will remain one of the warmest three. Climate change: 2020 set to be one of the three warmest years on record 2020-12-02T05:00:00Z The last time the WMO resorted to Greek letters was in 2005, which held the previous record for the most named storms in a single season. Theta is a record-setting entry in 2020’s wild hurricane season 2020-11-10T05:00:00Z The WMO decided to replace the Greek alphabet with a supplemental list of names. Greek letters "will never be used again" to name hurricanes 2021-03-17T04:00:00Z The WMO Greenhouse Gas Bulletin, published on Monday, shows CO2 in the atmosphere is now 50% higher than in 1750, before the Industrial Revolution. Climate crisis: CO2 hits new record despite Covid-19 lockdowns 2020-11-23T05:00:00Z The WMO began using Greek names in September. Hurricane season: Record number of named Atlantic storms 2020-11-10T05:00:00Z Other impacts noted by the WMO this year included wildfires in Siberia, Australia and along the US West Coast and South America which saw plumes of smoke circumnavigate the globe. Climate change: 2020 set to be one of the three warmest years on record 2020-12-02T05:00:00Z Katrina and four other names were retired that year, which happens when a storm is so deadly or costly that the WMO deems it inappropriate to reuse the moniker. Theta is a record-setting entry in 2020’s wild hurricane season 2020-11-10T05:00:00Z The WMO says there is a now around a 90% chance of tropical Pacific sea temperatures remaining at La Niña levels for the rest of this year. 'Moderate to strong' La Niña weather event develops in the Pacific 2020-10-29T04:00:00Z Yet according to the WMO, just 26% of weather observation networks in Africa meet their standards. 'Better warning system' needed for extreme weather 2020-10-13T04:00:00Z The new low was confirmed by so-called “climate detectives” working with the WMO’s Archive of Weather and Climate Extremes in Geneva. UN unearths record low temperature for Northern Hemisphere 2020-09-23T04:00:00Z The findings of the WMO report won't come as a surprise to most observers. Climate change: 2020 set to be one of the three warmest years on record 2020-12-02T05:00:00Z "It is a MEDIterranean hurriCANE which brings high winds and waves and torrential rain and flooding," the WMO tweeted. Greece slammed by rare 'medicane,' leaving 3 dead, hundreds rescued from flooding 2020-09-20T04:00:00Z Another fact is that if a storm is particularly deadly or catastrophic, the name will be retired and replaced by the WMO. 2020 Atlantic hurricane season is running out of names, so what happens next? 2020-09-15T04:00:00Z The WMO is preparing to release on Sept. 9 a report on the impact of climate change on the cryosphere. UN agency laments summer’s ‘deep wound’ to Earth’s ice cover 2020-09-01T04:00:00Z To vet the Death Valley temperature, the WMO will first need to bring together an international team of top scientists. What it takes to verify the hottest temperatures on Earth 2020-08-21T04:00:00Z The WMO, which also serves as the global arbiter of major weather records, plans to investigate the Death Valley report. We may have just seen the world's highest recorded temperature ever. Has that sunk in? 2020-08-19T04:00:00Z "Activity historically peaks between September and January," the WMO said Friday. Greece slammed by rare 'medicane,' leaving 3 dead, hundreds rescued from flooding 2020-09-20T04:00:00Z The WMO says this is unlikely to affect temperatures in the early 2020s. 'Rising chance' of exceeding 1.5C climate target 2020-07-08T04:00:00Z The WMO said the previous record for the longest detected distance for a single lightning flash was 199.5 miles on June 20, 2007, in the state of Oklahoma. 2 lightning 'megaflashes' broke previous records for distance and time, World Meteorological Organization says 2020-06-25T04:00:00Z The first time this was done by the WMO was in 2019 to verify the current third and fourth highest temperatures recorded on Earth. What it takes to verify the hottest temperatures on Earth 2020-08-21T04:00:00Z Burt’s work with colleagues led to an overturning of the Al Azizia record by WMO in 2012, a saga documented in the Weather Underground film Dead Heat. We may have just seen the world's highest recorded temperature ever. Has that sunk in? 2020-08-19T04:00:00Z The WMO verifies global temperature records, though it does not yet recognize the polar regions as a separate region for the WMO extremes archive. Hottest Arctic temperature record probably set with 100-degree reading in Siberia 2020-06-21T04:00:00Z A WMO committee of experts said in 2017 it determined a death toll of about 1,300 people was "the most reliable estimate." This was the deadliest tornado in the history of the world 2020-06-11T04:00:00Z For example, in the Southern Hemisphere, the data loss is “closer to 90 percent,” the WMO stated. The coronavirus pandemic and loss of aircraft data are taking a toll on weather forecasting 2020-05-12T04:00:00Z Ultimately, their findings must answer this set of five questions, according to the WMO’s website: Is there need for more raw data or documentation on this event to determine its validity or invalidity? What it takes to verify the hottest temperatures on Earth 2020-08-21T04:00:00Z “The current situation and forecast are alarming as locust infestations are expected to extend to other areas in the Horn of Africa and southwest Asia,” WMO said in a release. To Track Massive Locust Swarms, Officials Use Tool that Forecasts Smoke Plumes 2020-05-15T04:00:00Z The WMO said Thursday that large parts of the observing system, including satellite components and many ground-based observing networks, are automated to a degree. Coronavirus may impact weather forecasts as aircraft measurements have 'plummeted' due to pandemic 2020-05-11T04:00:00Z Besides creating visibility issues and travel delays, the WMO said airborne dust also presents "serious risks" for health. Massive dust storm engulfs capital city of Niger, residents describe 'terrifying' sight 2020-05-06T04:00:00Z In a somber reminder of the changes to the planet since 1970, the WMO said carbon dioxide levels were up 26% since then and the global temperature was 0.86 degrees Celsius higher on average. Drop in emissions due to pandemic won't fix climate, WMO says 2020-04-22T04:00:00Z Then in 2010, a WMO committee launched an investigation into the record that ended up coinciding with the 2011 Libyan revolution. What it takes to verify the hottest temperatures on Earth 2020-08-21T04:00:00Z Despite the expected absence of an El Niño, the WMO forecasts there will be above-average sea surface temperatures in many parts of the world, which will lead to higher than normal land temperatures. UN predicts above-average temperatures even without El Niño 2020-03-02T05:00:00Z The WMO currently uses 30 meteorological satellites and 200 research satellites, which provide continuous, highly-automated observations. Coronavirus may impact weather forecasts as aircraft measurements have 'plummeted' due to pandemic 2020-05-11T04:00:00Z "Outbreaks occur worldwide, yet the highest incidence is found in the 'meningitis belt,' a part of sub-Saharan Africa with an estimated population of 300 million," the WMO states. Massive dust storm engulfs capital city of Niger, residents describe 'terrifying' sight 2020-05-06T04:00:00Z “A formal decision on whether or not this is a record is likely to be several months away,” said Jonathan Fowler, the WMO spokesman. UN: Antarctic high temp records will take months to verify 2020-02-16T05:00:00Z Cerveny gets emails daily from weather enthusiasts wanting to learn more about the WMO’s world weather records. What it takes to verify the hottest temperatures on Earth 2020-08-21T04:00:00Z Climate change would contribute to these conditions, the WMO said. UN predicts above-average temperatures even without El Niño 2020-03-02T05:00:00Z The WMO’s committee that draws on the agency’s weather and climate archives is now expected to verify whether the reading would amount to a new record. UN assesses if Antarctica temperature reading is record high 2020-02-07T05:00:00Z The WMO’s committee that draws on the agency’s weather and climate archives is now expected to verify whether the reading would amount to a new record. UN assesses if Antarctica temperature reading is record high 2020-02-07T05:00:00Z Fowler said both measurements would need to be transmitted to Prof. Randall Cerveny, a researcher at Arizona State University who examines reported temperature records for WMO. UN: Antarctic high temp records will take months to verify 2020-02-16T05:00:00Z But skies as far away as over central Chile have gone gray because of the smoke, and the WMO cited reports that the sunset in Argentina’s capital, Buenos Aires, had turned red. World Digest: Jan. 7, 2020 2020-01-07T05:00:00Z The preliminary findings of the WMO’s annual state of the global climate report released earlier this month found this year was likely to be the second or third warmest since records began. Hot blob: vast patch of warm water off New Zealand coast puzzles scientists 2019-12-26T05:00:00Z The report was drafted by the WMO's Global Framework for Climate Services unit with the aid of WFP, FAO, the World Bank, the Global Environment Facility, the Green Climate Fund and international agriculture research organizations. To Adapt to Climate Change, Vulnerable Areas Need Better Forecasts 2019-12-12T05:00:00Z The preliminary findings of the State of the Global Climate, an annual publication by the WMO, show that this year is on course to be the second or third warmest since records began. Decade of 'exceptional' heat likely to be hottest on record, experts say 2019-12-03T05:00:00Z The evaluation normally takes six to nine months, after which Cerveny would “formally either accept or reject the potential extreme,” giving official WMO approval to the new record, he said. UN: Antarctic high temp records will take months to verify 2020-02-16T05:00:00Z Much of the heat generated by greenhouse gas emissions is going into the oceans, says the WMO. Last decade 'almost certain' to be warmest 2019-12-03T05:00:00Z By examining the levels of various isotopes of carbon in the air, WMO scientists were able to show that the added carbon is of the kind emitted when coal and other fossil fuels are burned. Opinion | We’re losing our climate battle. We have no one but ourselves to blame. 2019-12-02T05:00:00Z “There is no sign of a slowdown, let alone a decline, in greenhouse gases’ concentration in the atmosphere - despite all the commitments under the Paris Agreement on Climate Change,” said WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas. Greenhouse gases surge to record in 2018, exceeding 10-year average rate: U.N 2019-11-25T05:00:00Z Petteri Taalas, the WMO secretary general, said the impacts of rising concentrations of carbon in the atmosphere were becoming ever more harmful, as demonstrated in this year’s extreme weather events. Decade of 'exceptional' heat likely to be hottest on record, experts say 2019-12-03T05:00:00Z The WMO said the gap between targets and reality were both “glaring and growing”. Climate-heating greenhouse gases hit new high, UN reports 2019-11-25T05:00:00Z Some of those attending the meeting say the WMO report would help concentrate minds on dealing with the root causes of climate change. Last decade 'almost certain' to be warmest 2019-12-03T05:00:00Z The WMO report looks at concentrations of warming gases in the atmosphere rather than just emissions. Greenhouse gas concentrations break records 2019-11-25T05:00:00Z The WMO is so upset that it read a statement of concern into the meeting minutes, he says. Global 5G wireless deal threatens weather forecasts 2019-11-21T05:00:00Z The latest WMO figures showed the pattern of warming was growing stronger, warned Keith Shine, regius professor of meteorology and climate science at the University of Reading. Decade of 'exceptional' heat likely to be hottest on record, experts say 2019-12-03T05:00:00Z Unlike weather data, which U.N. member states have shared voluntarily with the WMO for decades, the pooling of data on water is in its infancy. World unprepared for impact of climate change on mountain water supplies: experts 2019-10-29T04:00:00Z This "exceptional" global heat is driven by greenhouse gas emissions, the WMO says. Last decade 'almost certain' to be warmest 2019-12-03T05:00:00Z The WMO also records concentrations of other warming gases, including methane and nitrous oxide. Greenhouse gas concentrations break records 2019-11-25T05:00:00Z The WMO warns that the physical and financial impacts of global warming are already on the rise. Why are more people fleeing home than ever before? 2019-09-23T04:00:00Z “This new WMO report highlights the importance of making more progress on reducing emissions of carbon dioxide,” Cornell University climate scientist Natalie Mahowald said. World leaders feel the heat in upcoming climate summit 2019-09-22T04:00:00Z The WMO report is meant to inform the special UN summit on climate change taking place in New York on Monday. Climate change 'accelerating', say scientists 2019-09-22T04:00:00Z The WMO clearly links the record temperatures seen over the past decade to ongoing emissions of greenhouse gases, from human activities such as driving cars, cutting down forests and burning coal for energy. Last decade 'almost certain' to be warmest 2019-12-03T05:00:00Z "There is no sign of a slowdown, let alone a decline, in greenhouse gases concentration in the atmosphere despite all the commitments under the Paris agreement on climate change," said WMO Secretary-General Petteri Taalas. Greenhouse gas concentrations break records 2019-11-25T05:00:00Z They are now the third and fourth highest temperatures recognized by the WMO and officially the highest ever recorded in Asia, the team reported in June in the International Journal of Climatology4. Meet the weather observers on climate change’s front lines 2019-09-15T04:00:00Z In June alone, the WMO said, Arctic fires emitted 50 megatonnes of CO2, equal to Sweden’s total annual emissions. 'Unprecedented': more than 100 wildfires burning in the Arctic in worst ever season 2019-07-26T04:00:00Z France set an all-time high-temperature record of 46C, according to the WMO, and new June highs were set in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Andorra, Luxembourg, Poland and Germany. Second Europe heatwave set to intensify and peak 2019-07-25T04:00:00Z The WMO says the warming experienced over the past decade is taking its toll on the natural world. Last decade 'almost certain' to be warmest 2019-12-03T05:00:00Z France set an all-time high-temperature record of 46C, according to the WMO, and new June highs were set in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Andorra, Luxembourg, Poland, and Germany. Belgium feels heat as record temperature is broken 2019-07-24T04:00:00Z The European heatwave was “absolutely consistent” with extremes linked to the impact of greenhouse gas emissions, according to the WMO. Hotter than Death Valley: Europe burns, sweats in record heat 2019-06-30T04:00:00Z The WMO said there was a 50% chance of El Nino conditions from September. Strong El Nino 'unlikely' this year: U.N. weather agency 2019-05-27T04:00:00Z Many hope that the WMO numbers will influence regulators to adopt strict global noise standards at the meeting in Egypt. Global 5G wireless networks threaten weather forecasts 2019-04-25T04:00:00Z “The long-term temperature trend is far more important than the ranking of individual years, and that trend is an upward one,“ said Petteri Taalas, secretary general of the WMO. Global temperatures in 2018 fourth hottest on record, scientists confirm 2019-02-06T05:00:00Z But even a weak El Niño could boost global temperatures and lead to increased rainfall in areas such as the southeast coast of South America, the WMO said on 27 November. Black-hole bounty, Ebola emergency and UK science minister resigns 2018-12-04T05:00:00Z The WMO report highlights some of the significant events of 2018. 2018 set to be fourth warmest year 2018-11-29T05:00:00Z The WMO models are say that a fully fledged El Niño is estimated to be 75-80% likely between December and February 2019. Strong chance of a new El Niño forming 2018-11-27T05:00:00Z The WMO also highlighted the discovery of illicit production of CFC-11, a banned chemical that also both warms the planet and destroys ozone. Climate-heating greenhouse gases at record levels, says UN 2018-11-22T05:00:00Z "The WMO greenhouse gas bulletin, showing a continuing rising trend in concentrations of greenhouse gases, underlines just how urgent these emissions reductions are." Greenhouse gas levels at new record high 2018-11-22T05:00:00Z The WMO said the rate of increase was in line with the average growth rate over the last decade. Global carbon dioxide levels hit a new record in 2017, U.N. says 2018-11-22T05:00:00Z The WMO State of the Climate report is one of a plethora of recent scientific studies that are designed to inform delegates to next week's UN climate talks in Poland. 2018 set to be fourth warmest year 2018-11-29T05:00:00Z According to the WMO, climate change is influencing the traditional dynamics of these weather events. New El Niño event likely this winter 2018-09-10T04:00:00Z The WMO facilitates such sharing for weather data, and it should coordinate an international agreement and devise quality controls and operating guidelines for air quality, too. Five steps to improve air-quality forecasts 2018-09-03T04:00:00Z The scientists at the WMO believe that the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere right now hasn't been seen in a long, long time. Greenhouse gas levels at new record high 2018-11-22T05:00:00Z The WMO will publish its review of 2017 temperatures, also drawing on U.S., 2017 was second hottest year on record, after 2016 - European data 2018-01-04T05:00:00Z Standards and protocols should be advanced through the WMO Integrated Global Observing System, together with interoperable platforms. Five priorities for weather and climate research WMO says key indicators of climate change - such as rising carbon-dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere, rising sea levels and the acidification of oceans - “continue unabated” this year. UN weather agency: 2017 set to be among top 3 hottest years 2017-11-06T05:00:00Z WMO says key indicators of climate change — such as rising carbon-dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere, rising sea levels and the acidification of oceans — “continue unabated” this year. UN weather agency: 2017 set to be among top 3 hottest years 2017-11-06T05:00:00Z Among extremes, the WMO pointed to a battering from hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria. This year to be among three hottest on record: 'extraordinary weather' - U.N. 2017-11-06T05:00:00Z The WMO will publish its review of 2017 temperatures, also drawing on U.S., 2017 was second hottest year on record, after 2016 - European data 2018-01-04T05:00:00Z To begin this process, the WMO convened more than 100 experts in atmospheric, hydrological and related sciences in Geneva, Switzerland, in October. Five priorities for weather and climate research According to the WMO, this year vies with 2015 to be the second or third warmest mark yet recorded. 2017 was in top three warmest years 2017-11-06T05:00:00Z The WMO reported on Monday that the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere made a record jump in 2016 to hit a concentration not seen for more than three million years. Climate change already damaging health of millions globally, report finds 2017-10-30T04:00:00Z Among other extremes, monsoon floods killed 1,200 people in India, Bangladesh and Nepal, the WMO said. This year to be among three hottest on record: 'extraordinary weather' - U.N. 2017-11-06T05:00:00Z "Today’s CO2 concentration of ~400 ppm exceeds the natural variability seen over hundreds of thousands of years," the WMO bulletin said. Carbon Dioxide Levels Grew at Record Pace in 2016 2017-10-30T04:00:00Z As the organizing committee of the WMO science summit, here we highlight the five priorities that were agreed. Five priorities for weather and climate research The WMO said that part of the reason for the rapid rise was the El Nino climate event, which triggered droughts inhibiting the ability of plants to absorb as much CO2 as usual. The Level of Carbon Dioxide in the Atmosphere Hasn't Been This High in 800,000 Years 2017-10-30T04:00:00Z WMO says the report breaks ground by showing the “global picture” on carbon levels. UN agency: CO2 concentrations grew at record rate in 2016 2017-10-30T04:00:00Z Among other extremes, monsoon floods killed 1,200 people in India, Bangladesh and Nepal, the WMO said. This year to be among three hottest on record: 'extraordinary weather' - U.N. 2017-11-06T05:00:00Z “Today’s CO2 concentration of ~400 ppm exceeds the natural variability seen over hundreds of thousands of years,” the WMO bulletin said. Carbon dioxide levels grew at record pace in 2016, U.N. says 2017-10-30T04:00:00Z The WMO needs to work more closely with existing networks. Five priorities for weather and climate research This year's greenhouse gas bulletin produced by the WMO, is based on measurements taken in 51 countries. Record surge in atmospheric CO2 in 2016 2017-10-30T04:00:00Z The latest WMO Greenhouse Gas Bulletin released Monday says a strong El Nino and human activity contributed to an increase of CO2 concentrations to 403.3 parts per million last year, up from 400 in 2015. UN agency: CO2 concentrations grew at record rate in 2016 2017-10-30T04:00:00Z Among extremes, the WMO pointed to a battering from hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Maria. This year to be among three hottest on record: 'extraordinary weather' - U.N. 2017-11-06T05:00:00Z “Today’s CO2 concentration of ~400 ppm exceeds the natural variability seen over hundreds of thousands of years,” the WMO bulletin said. Carbon dioxide levels grew at record pace in 2016, U.N. says 2017-10-30T04:00:00Z “The La Nina event, if it does occur, will likely remain weak,” the Geneva-based WMO said in a statement, noting that a La Nina event occurred last year. Fair chance of weak weather-shifting La Nina pattern in final quarter 2017-10-05T04:00:00Z The figures published by the WMO are what's left in the atmosphere after significant amounts are absorbed by the Earth's "sinks", which include the oceans and the biosphere. Record surge in atmospheric CO2 in 2016 2017-10-30T04:00:00Z And regarding Irma, the WMO cited models showing that “hurricanes in a warmer climate are likely to become more intense.” Opinion | The cruelest insult to Harvey and Irma’s victims 2017-09-11T04:00:00Z WMO spokeswoman Clare Nullis said it was difficult to predict how severe the impact of an eventual El Nino this year would be. El Nino likely to return this year - WMO 2017-04-28T04:00:00Z They began to lobby the WMO for official recognition of the cloud type. 'New' wave-like cloud finally wins official recognition - BBC News 2017-03-22T04:00:00Z “The La Nina event, if it does occur, will likely remain weak,” the Geneva-based WMO said in a statement, noting that a La Nina event occurred last year. Fair chance of weak weather-shifting La Nina pattern in final quarter 2017-10-05T04:00:00Z Other experts in the field of atmospheric research agreed that the WMO findings were a cause for concern. Record surge in atmospheric CO2 in 2016 2017-10-30T04:00:00Z The new WMO assessment also prompted some scientists to criticise Donald Trump. Record-breaking climate change pushes world into ‘uncharted territory’ 2017-03-20T04:00:00Z According to the WMO, the recent cooler ocean conditions were only intermittently indicative of La Niña, and in January this year they returned to a neutral state. Weather experts say new El Niño possible later this year - BBC News 2017-02-16T05:00:00Z In terms of the way the WMO classifies clouds, they have also added one new "species" - the volutus, or roll-cloud, a low horizontal tube-shaped cloud mass that appears to roll about a horizontal axis. 'New' wave-like cloud finally wins official recognition - BBC News 2017-03-22T04:00:00Z A WMO report said human-induced global warming had contributed to at least half the extreme weather events studied in recent years, with the risk of extreme heat increasing by 10 times in some cases. 2016 hottest year ever recorded – and scientists say human activity to blame 2017-01-18T05:00:00Z The other datasets used by the WMO are collected from sources that can take more time to compile, including ships, buoys and balloons. World heat shatters records in 2016 in new sign of global warming 2017-01-05T05:00:00Z “This goes beyond simply forecasting for the public,” said Rob Masters, the director of external relations for the WMO. This new weather satellite isn’t just good for the U.S. — it’s good for the world 2016-11-19T05:00:00Z To better answer that question, the WMO took a look at climate patterns over the last five years. Climate report card: hot, wild and with an increasingly visible 'human footprint' 2016-11-17T05:00:00Z The WMO said its statement is “provisional” and will be updated in early 2017. 2016 ‘very likely’ to be the hottest year on record, U.N. agency declares 2016-11-14T05:00:00Z The WMO said human-induced global warming had contributed to at least half the extreme weather events studied in recent years, with the risk of extreme heat increasing by 10 times in some cases. 2016 will be the hottest year on record, UN says 2016-11-14T05:00:00Z The document says the year to September was 0.88 above the average for the period between 1961-1990, which the WMO uses at its baseline. 2016 'very likely' to be world's warmest year - BBC News 2016-11-14T05:00:00Z Before joining WMO, Masters worked in the satellite division of NOAA. This new weather satellite isn’t just good for the U.S. — it’s good for the world 2016-11-19T05:00:00Z Global temperatures for the first nine months of the year were about 1.2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, the WMO reported. Climate report card: hot, wild and with an increasingly visible 'human footprint' 2016-11-17T05:00:00Z “The new report from WMO is a clarion call for embracing and going beyond the goals of the Paris Agreement.” Human Footprint 'Increasingly Visible' On Climate Change 2016-11-09T05:00:00Z The WMO’s temperature analysis combines the three main records, from the Met Office, Nasa and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and stretches back to 1880. 2016 will be the hottest year on record, UN says 2016-11-14T05:00:00Z According to the WMO analysis, 16 of the 17 warmest years have been recorded this century. 2016 'very likely' to be world's warmest year - BBC News 2016-11-14T05:00:00Z The WMO submitted its new report to the UN climate change summit taking place in Morocco. Global 'greening' has slowed rise of CO2 in the atmosphere, study finds 2016-11-08T05:00:00Z Temperatures were especially warm in the early months of the year because of a powerful El Niño event, the WMO said. Climate report card: hot, wild and with an increasingly visible 'human footprint' 2016-11-17T05:00:00Z The changes "confirmed the long-term warming trend caused by greenhouse gases," the WMO said of the report. Last five years were hottest on record, more signs heat is man-made: WMO 2016-11-08T05:00:00Z But, says the WMO, there may be a sting in the tale. Across Africa, the worst famine since 1985 looms for 50 million 2016-05-22T04:00:00Z Dr Sarah Perkins-Kirkpatrick from the University of New South Wales in Australia said the language was very strong for the WMO. Global warming taking place at an 'alarming rate', UN climate body warns 2016-03-21T04:00:00Z "The impact of El Niño on CO2 concentrations is a natural and relatively short-lived phenomenon," said Petteri Taalas from the WMO. CO2 data is 'wake-up call' for Paris climate deal - BBC News 2016-03-10T05:00:00Z The WMO said that although the current episode was closely comparable in strength with the record event of 1997-98, it was too early to say whether the 2015-16 El Niño was the strongest ever. El Niño has passed peak strength but impacts will continue, UN warns 2016-02-18T05:00:00Z “What we would call a ‘cold’ year now would have been a warm year just a few decades ago,” Michel Jarraud, the WMO’s secretary-general, said in a press conference on 25 November. Year of Paris climate talks is likely to be the hottest on record 2015-11-24T05:00:00Z "This is due to a combination of a strong El Niño and human-induced global warming," the WMO said in a statement. 2015 set to be hottest on record, 2016 even hotter due to El Niño: U.N. 2015-11-25T05:00:00Z The WMO said that levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reached new highs. 2015 likely to be warmest on record says UN weather body - BBC News 2015-11-25T05:00:00Z The WMO said three-month averages would peak at over 2 degrees Celsius above normal over the next few months. El Nino indicator hits record high, adds to weather risks: NOAA 2015-11-19T05:00:00Z The WMO warn these impacts are likely to increase and this event is now in "uncharted territory". 'High impacts' from globally stronger El Nino - BBC News 2015-11-16T05:00:00Z The WMO also said that compared to the pre-industrial 1880–99 average, the world has now warmed a full 1 °C, half of the 2 °C limit to dangerous climate change. Year of Paris climate talks is likely to be the hottest on record 2015-11-24T05:00:00Z The WMO said countries are expected to be much better prepared for a strong El Niño now than they were in 1997, but governments and charities are warning of serious food shortages and floods. El Niño: food shortages, floods, disease and droughts set to put millions at risk 2015-11-16T05:00:00Z Other researchers agreed that the latest data from the WMO reinforces the view that human emissions of carbon dioxide, from burning fossil fuels, are continuing to heat the Earth beyond natural variability. 2015 likely to be warmest on record says UN weather body - BBC News 2015-11-25T05:00:00Z The WMO maintains the world’s biggest network of sensors detecting changes in the makeup of the Earth’s atmosphere. Greenhouse gases hit new milestone, fueling worries about climate change 2015-11-08T05:00:00Z While stressing that El Niño is not the only factor driving global climate patterns, the WMO says that the implications of the weather system in a warmer world are uncertain. 'High impacts' from globally stronger El Nino - BBC News 2015-11-16T05:00:00Z But there is no reason for undue alarm,” WMO atmospheric and environment research division senior scientist Geir Braathen said in a statement. Record hole in ozone layer 'no cause for alarm' 2015-10-29T04:00:00Z In a statement the WMO said that this El Nino was gathering strength. Current El Nino climate event 'among the strongest' - BBC News 2015-09-01T04:00:00Z According to WMO figures, 90 percent of natural disasters in sub-Saharan Africa in the past decade were climate or weather-related. World Bank seeks $500 million for African weather services 2015-02-26T05:00:00Z Sea surface temperatures set a record as well — which is particularly important, the WMO notes, because about 93 percent of heat trapped in the atmosphere by greenhouse gases ends up in the oceans. Hottest year on record: The real reason why 2014 was so remarkable 2015-02-02T05:00:00Z We’re talking about January to October, which WMO customarily discusses in November. 2014 is on track to be warmest year yet: Five images that explain what’s happening 2014-12-03T05:00:00Z The WMO said average sea surface temperatures hit record highs in 2014. This year may be warmest on record as oceans heat up, experts say 2014-12-03T05:00:00Z The WMO says that this year's event is strengthening and will peak by the end of this year. Current El Nino climate event 'among the strongest' - BBC News 2015-09-01T04:00:00Z The WMO is the UN's authoritative voice on global weather and climate. Q&A: World heads for warmest year 2014-12-03T05:00:00Z The WMO report highlights a number of record-breaking weather events around the world: World on course for warmest year 2014-12-03T05:00:00Z That was when an international panel on tropical cyclones led by the WMO sat down and decided to name their cyclones as a committee in the spirit of co-operation and consensus. How Cyclone Hudhud got its name 2014-10-10T04:00:00Z In good news, the WMO counted just 72 tropical storms until mid-November 2014, against a long-term average of 89 a year. This year may be warmest on record as oceans heat up, experts say 2014-12-03T05:00:00Z Studies extrapolating from the fossil record suggest that the rate of acidification is now “unprecedented, at least over the past 300,000 years,” the WMO said. CO2 levels in atmosphere rising at dramatically faster rate, U.N. report warns "Preliminary data indicated that this was possibly related to reduced CO2 uptake by the Earth's biosphere in addition to the steadily increasing CO2 emissions," the WMO reported in a statement. Greenhouse Gas Pollution Sees Fastest Rise 2014-09-09T04:00:00Z A paper issued to coincide with the WMO figures says that although "one warm year does not necessarily say anything about long-term climate change" new research shows how human influence made record temperatures more likely. World on course for warmest year 2014-12-03T05:00:00Z For a link to the WMO weather reports, click on: Bad weather for 2050 as TV forecasters imagine climate change 2014-09-01T04:00:00Z "High sea temperatures, together with other factors, contributed to exceptionally heavy rainfall and floods in many countries and extreme drought in others," the WMO said. This year may be warmest on record as oceans heat up, experts say 2014-12-03T05:00:00Z Luther said the WMO is trying to work with national meteorological services around the world to create “seamless” climate and weather forecasts. Weather Disasters Have Cost the Globe $2.4 Trillion 2014-07-17T04:00:00Z The WMO reiterated that CO2 remains in the atmosphere for hundreds of years, and in the ocean for even longer. “Yet another wake-up call”: Carbon pollution in Northern Hemisphere reaches record high 2014-05-27T04:00:00Z Coinciding with today's events, the WMO also published its "Annual Statement on the Status of the Global Climate." No Standstill Found in Global Warming or Extreme Weather 2014-03-24T15:24:00Z The WMO said it was likely to end among the top 10 warmest years since records began in 1850. 2013 Is Seventh Hottest Year, Rising Seas Worsen Typhoon 2013-11-13T23:15:08.907Z The WMO is a branch of the United Nations in charge of studying the Earth's atmosphere, climate and oceans. Record levels of warming gases 2013-11-06T15:54:30Z In May, the Geneva-based WMO formed a 10-member "task team" to decide whether—and how—to put its cloud atlas online. Cloud Fans Behind 'Asperatus' Hope for a Silver Lining 2013-07-12T03:29:25Z The WMO says so far there's no conclusive evidence of a link to any single weather event, except perhaps in the case of the European heatwaves of 2003. Climate extremes are 'unprecedented' 2013-07-04T11:07:26Z The WMO also said it was hard to link any individual extreme events to climate change rather than to natural variability. World Suffered Unprecedented Climate Extremes in Past Decade 2013-07-03T17:45:00.660Z But the WMO said: "Wind patterns and ocean currents tend to isolate Antarctica from global weather patterns, keeping it cold." 2013 Is Seventh Hottest Year, Rising Seas Worsen Typhoon 2013-11-13T23:15:08.907Z The WMO says smarter climate information will be needed as the climate continues to change. Climate extremes are 'unprecedented' 2013-07-03T11:06:10Z The number of cyclones worldwide was around normal but some, such as Superstorm Sandy, which lashed the Caribbean and the United States, were especially devastating, the WMO said. Climate "Changing before Our Eyes": World Meteorological Organization 2012-11-28T21:15:10.423Z The WMO used figures up to October from three data sources to make its projection. Seven days: 2?8 December 2011 2011-12-07T18:20:16.440Z La Nina, a natural cooling of the Pacific Ocean, occurs every 2 to 7 years, causing major climate fluctuations including altered tropical rainfall patterns, according to WMO expert Rupa Kumar Kolli. Weak La Nina Possible in 2011, No Chance of El Nino 2011-09-01T16:45:00.230Z "The jury is still out on whether tropical cyclones will become more frequent in the future," Jeremiah Lengoasa, deputy WMO Secretary-General, told a news conference. 2013 Is Seventh Hottest Year, Rising Seas Worsen Typhoon 2013-11-13T23:15:08.907Z Drew Shindell of Nasa's Goddard Institute for Space Studies who headed the research team to prepare the UNEP/WMO report said it was a step ahead in assessing black carbon's possible influence on the monsoon. Black carbon 2011-07-08T20:12:13Z Michel Jarraud, head of the World Meteorological Organization, said the WMO would step up monitoring of the impact of the air pollutants on the climate. Soot, Smog Curbs Quick Way to Combat Warming: U.N. Study 2011-06-14T21:45:10.167Z "This situation is climatologically a very stable constellation, but it has persisted for an unusually long time," WMO said. Europe Braces for Serious Crop Losses and Blackouts 2011-06-13T22:15:00.347Z The 2010-2011 La Nina episode was linked to disastrous flooding in parts of Australia, Indonesia, Southeast Asia, and parts of South America including Colombia, the WMO said. Weak La Nina Possible in 2011, No Chance of El Nino 2011-09-01T16:45:00.230Z Other extremes this year have included record heatwaves in Australia and floods from Sudan to Europe, the WMO said. 2013 Is Seventh Hottest Year, Rising Seas Worsen Typhoon 2013-11-13T23:15:08.907Z The WMO would encourage sharing of data and help coordinate research. U.N. to upgrade "space weather" forecasts 2011-06-08T16:15:07Z The WMO is warning people there to heed national alerts and forecasts of ozone levels. Ozone damage sets Arctic record 2011-04-05T07:00:46Z In Germany, April this year was one of the 10 driest Aprils since 1881, WMO said. Europe Braces for Serious Crop Losses and Blackouts 2011-06-13T22:15:00.347Z The director of the WMO's World Climate Research Center, says the trend of the last few decades indicate that extreme heat will become more frequent and intense in the future. Welcome to the year of living dangerously 2011-01-24T17:35:00Z The WMO analysis combines data from three leading research agencies, and is regarded as the most authoritative. 2010 sets record on global warmth 2011-01-20T14:19:14Z The WMO pointed out that this summer's events fit the international scientists' projections of "more frequent and more intense extreme weather events due to global warming." Climate Breakdown 2010-08-13T15:07:00Z Current conditions are not adequate for the WMO to declare that a La Nina event is actually in place, he said. La Nina expected in Pacific this year: WMO 2010-07-06T11:08:00Z WMO said the abnormal was caused by a persistent ridge of high pressure over western and central Europe, blocking more normal patterns of rainfall and temperature. Europe Braces for Serious Crop Losses and Blackouts 2011-06-13T22:15:00.347Z A WMO expert said that the health risks of the cloud were currently negligible across Europe. Volcanic ash poses little health threat so far: WHO 2010-04-20T16:25:00Z China is witnessing its worst floods in decades, the WMO says, particularly in the northwest province of Gansu.
