Texas Hill Country, where much of the flooding took place this time, is often referred to as “flash flood alley.” It's home to steep terrain and a lack of vegetation that creates a perfect storm for waters to rise quickly.

Each year from June to September, a series of heavy rains known as monsoons sweep through the Indian subcontinent, providing relief from heat, irrigating the country’s farms and replenishing its rivers.

Warming ocean temperatures and warmer air mean there’s more water vapor in the atmosphere to fuel extreme downpours like those that struck Texas during the July 4 weekend.

President Trump and Gov. Abbott have downplayed the link between extreme weather and climate change. Scientists say the warming climate is making storms worse.

Most Americans fear extreme weather is getting worse, a new USA TODAY/Ipsos Poll finds, a concern underscored by the rising death toll from flash floods in central Texas.

Democrats have blamed climate change for the Texas floods around Camp Mystic, but Heritage experts poke holes in this narrative.

Researchers agree that climate change has made torrential downpours more frequent—but the science gets murky when examining how strong the link is between an extreme event and climate change.

Democrats criticize Trump's cuts to the National Weather Service and his approach to climate change after at least 59 people died in major Texas floods that occurred over the July 4th holiday.

The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) will be located next to the University of Reading's Department of Meteorology. The facility will be home to up to 300 scientists to support world-leading work on all aspects of weather prediction systems, forecast production, and research into climate change.
