WCRP's Regional Information for Society (RIfS) Global Extremes Platform (GEP) is pleased to share with you the first Annual Assessment of Weather and Climate Extremes (AWCE) report.
This report offers a new, integrated perspective on the weather and climate extremes experienced in 2025, placing individual events and extreme conditions in their longer-term historical context and examining them in the context of a changing climate. It brings together extreme-event monitoring, long-term trend analysis, event attribution, regional assessments, physical drivers and dynamical mechanisms, and detailed case studies within a single, coherent framework.
