Addressing the Impacts of Water Insecurity on Infant Feeding: Policy Solutions for the US
Maternal &Child Nutrition, Volume 22, Issue 3, July 2026.ABSTRACT Household water security is the consistent access to sufficient, safe water that promotes health. Approximately 2 million people in the US cannot realize the human right to water, which is exacerbated by our climate crisis. Lack of safe drinking water has adverse health effects, especially for pregnant women and infants.

Are West African Heat‐Lows Analogous to Dry Tropical Cyclones?
International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.Heat‐lows qualitatively resemble dry tropical cyclones (TCs), though their underlying physics has yet to be compared. In this study, we show that West African transient heat‐low climatology correlates well with TC potential intensity generalised over land.

Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Spatial Asymmetries in the Lesser Antilles
International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.Rainfall is not proportional to the Saffir‐Simpson wind‐based categories. Lower category tropical cyclones (TS, H1, H2 and H3) can generate more intense rainfall than H4 and H5. Rainfall is asymmetric; as a tropical cyclone intensifies or weakens, the location of peak rainfall shifts.

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.Over the past 60 years, noticeable changes have been observed in the main hydroclimatological variables, driven by both natural and anthropogenic factors. In the context of climate change, such behaviour may adversely affect the state's economic activities, as well as increase the recurrence of extreme events in the region.

Impacts from SSTs, ENSO, stratospheric QBO and global warming on Hurricanes over the North Atlantic
, 2009 Processes affecting hurricane development over the North Atlantic like the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), the stratospheric Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) and Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) are discussed. Global coupled climate model simulations

Weather Patterns Associated With Coastal Disasters in Santa Catarina, Southern Brazil
International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.The study identified weather patterns (WPs) associated with coastal disasters between 1998 and 2020 along the Santa Catarina coast, Brazil. Using atmospheric and oceanographic data combined with official disaster records, five WPs were defined, mainly associated with cyclonic and anticyclonic systems linked to extreme wave events.

Drying Effect of Landfalling Tropical Cyclones
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract The high precipitation efficiency of tropical cyclones (TCs) is theorized to dehydrate the atmosphere, a process with important climate implications that has yet to be confirmed by direct observational evidence. Using satellite and reanalysis data, this study statistically examines the drying effect of landfalling TCs. Results indicate a local

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.Abstract This study examines the large‐scale atmospheric response to reduced evapotranspiration during droughts in the Western U.S., using an observation‐based regression method and numerical experiments with a global climate model. We found that Western U.S.
