As many as 66,000 people still without electricity after gusts up to 90mph brought down power lines

Through these findings, the researchers identified how electric field variations correlate with specific weather conditions. This enhanced understanding of electric field responses to weather events could significantly improve...

As a heatwave sweeps the country increasing demand for power, a new report says a more resilient network could also contribute $300m to the economy

While there is a knee-jerk tendency to link flood events directly to global warming, a serious approach that considers multiple factors—natural, human, and technological—is necessary for a comprehensive understanding...

Even in 2050 and 2100 the IPCC does not forecast any climate change impact on coastal flooding.
