Scientists suggest the two extremes could be related through a phenomenon known as “hydroclimate whiplash”, defined by volatile swings between very wet and very dry conditions – with climate ...

This cycle of wet and dry extremes, known as "hydroclimate whiplash," is part of the increasingly intense climate cycles caused by climate change. Hydroclimate whiplash can occur virtually anywhere.

The state's naturally variable climate increases its wildfire risk. Hydroclimate whiplash -- the rapid shift between wet and dry conditions -- likely contributed to the severity of the wildfires ...

This quick cycling between very wet and very dry periods — one example of what scientists have come to call “weather whiplash” — creates prime conditions for wildfires: The rain encourages ...

Scientists are calling this flip-flopping between extremes of wet and dry ‘hydroclimate whiplash’. It describes intense periods of extreme but different weather, which lead to more devastating ...

Hydroclimate whiplash -- the rapid shift between wet and dry conditions -- likely contributed to the severity of the wildfires burning in Southern California, according to experts. In recent years ...

Hydroclimate whiplash – a term for the phenomenon of savage seasonal swings between catastrophic rain and sapping drought – is increasing, fast. Driven by an atmosphere stoked hotter by the ...
