Extreme Weather Disasters Surge Globally Amid Warming Climate
Natural Hazard News and Info Tracker
About
In the United States this week, natural hazards continue to underscore how a warming climate is amplifying extremes. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports that by late 2025 the nation has already experienced dozens of billion dollar weather and climate disasters this year, driven largely by severe storms, hurricanes, wildfires, and flooding. According to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy, the 2025 tornado season has been exceptionally intense, with more than seven hundred tornadoes recorded so far and at least thirty five deaths, many occurring in the central United States. That same analysis notes persistent operational strain at the National Weather Service, including staff cuts that have affected some weather balloon launches, raising concerns about forecasting capacity at a time of escalating risk.
Recent global assessments from the World Meteorological Organization and the National Centers for Environmental Information highlight a clear pattern. Warmer oceans are fueling more powerful tropical cyclones, and a strong La Niña pattern is shifting rainfall, contributing to both flash flooding and prolonged drought in different regions. World Vision and other humanitarian groups point to the 2025 Southern California wildfires, which destroyed communities around Los Angeles under hurricane force Santa Ana winds, as part of a broader trend toward longer, more destructive fire seasons in the American West.
Beyond the United States, the human toll of water related disasters has surged. According to ReliefWeb and the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, catastrophic floods and landslides across Southeast Asia in late 2025, intensified by Tropical Cyclone Senyar and other storms, have killed more than nine hundred people and displaced millions in Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations humanitarian center reports that some provinces in southern Thailand and Indonesia saw their heaviest one day rainfall in centuries, overwhelming infrastructure and triggering deadly landslides.
Global hazard summaries from the United States Agency for International Development indicate that La Niña linked drought persists in parts of East Africa and Central Asia even as other regions endure record floods. Taken together, these events show a world facing compound and cascading disasters, where heat, drought, fire, storms, and floods are increasingly interconnected, and where the United States is both a hotspot for high cost extremes and a key reference point for understanding global patterns in natural hazards and disasters.
