The death toll in floods across a large part of southern Germany rose to four on Monday as three bodies were recovered from inundated basements, while authorities warned water could rise further in the coming days. The body of a 43-year-old woman whom rescuers had been looking for since Sunday morning was found in a basement in the Bavarian town of Schrobenhausen, police told German press. Later Monday, police said the bodies of a man and a woman were found in a basement in Schorndorf, near Stuttgart, that had been flooded and then pumped dry. Persistent heavy rain led to widespread flooding i...

Rain is falling consistently in Barcelona for the first time in almost four years. Catalonia’s longest drought since records began is coming to an end, bringing the first ‘normal’ spring and much-needed respite as the tourist season begins.

The climate phenomenon known as El Niño - and not climate change - was a key driver in low rainfall that disrupted shipping at the Panama Canal last year, scientists said Wednesday. A team of international scientists found that El Niño, a natural warming of the central Pacific that changes weather worldwide, doubled the likelihood of the low precipitation Panama received during last year's rainy season. That dryness reduced water levels at the reservoir which feeds freshwater to the Panama Canal and provides drinking water for more than half of the Central American country. Human-caused climat...

Global wine production reached a historic low in 2023 and climate change could be to blame, a new report has revealed. The International Organisation of Vine and Wine (OIV) says the drink hit its lowest level since 1962. This intergovernmental organisation has 50 member states, representing 75 per cent of the world’s vineyard area. Experts blame “extreme environmental conditions” including droughts and fires that have been driving the downward trend in production. Though climate change is not entirely to blame, the OIV says, these conditions are the greatest challenge the industry is facing. V...

Circumstantial evidence points to climate change as worsening the deadly deluge that just flooded Dubai and other parts of the Persian Gulf, but scientists didn't discover the definitive fingerprints of greenhouse gas-triggered warming they have seen in other extreme weather events, a new report found. Between 10 per cent and 40 per cent more rain fell in just one day last week than it would have in a world without the 1.2 degrees Celsius from the burning of coal, oil and natural gas since the mid-19th century, scientists at World Weather Attribution said Thursday in a flash study that is too ...

With cloud seeding, it may rain, but it doesn't really pour or flood - at least nothing like what drenched the United Arab Emirates and paralysed Dubai this week, meteorologists have said. Cloud seeding, although decades old, is still controversial in the weather community, mostly because it has been hard to prove that it does very much. No one reports the type of flooding that on Tuesday doused the UAE, which often deploys the technology in an attempt to squeeze every drop of moisture from a sky that usually gives less than 10 to 13 centimetres of rain a year. "It's most certainly not cloud s...
