This session delves into the many faces of extreme weather - from the harsh conditions of naturally ‘extreme’ regions to the formation of devastating tropical cyclones. We’ll explore how the redistribution of energy from equator to pole shapes our weather systems. As we look ahead, we’ll examine how these extremes are evolving. Tropical cyclones are intensifying, bringing stronger winds and heavier rainfall, but is warmer ocean water the full story? Join us as we uncover the deeper dynamics powering the engine of extremes.
