It's not just you: the weather is getting worse. And if there's one person who would know, it's "America's weatherman," Al Roker, who's spent decades reporting live from some of the worst storms and natural disasters in history. He...

Megafires, or fires that burn more than 100,000 acres, are becoming more frequent worldwide, wreaking havoc on landscapes and communities -- and fire experts say the problem is only going to get worse. George T. Whitesides is focused on...

With some of the highest energy bills in Southeast Asia and extreme weather to match, the Philippines experiences the climate crisis -- and climate activism -- as a part of daily life. Clean energy advocate Kala Constantino highlights...

You'd think that the Northern and Southern Hemispheres would be basically symmetrical -- that since our planet is a ball, the climate, temperature, and weather patterns would be the same on top as on the bottom. But there are some...

Solving food shortages caused by droughts is a big challenge that may benefit from a tiny ally. Turns out that the microbes living in the soil around plants can give them a boost when water's scarce, which means more food for us, which...

While they are incredible engineering marvels, we don't think about bridges all that much. But there's a good reason we should all be thinking about our bridges, since there's a weird reason that more of them might be at risk of failure...

There are two types of rain, and one of them is almost impossible to forecast.

In 1990, fossil collectors in South Dakota stumbled across a dinosaur that turned out to be a really big deal. Not just because it was a T. rex – basically the most popular dino out there – or because it ended up in Chicago’s famous...

One Minute Physics provides an energetic and entertaining view of old and new problems in physics -- all in one minute!

Bright pillars of light... clouds of glowing dust... shimmering discs floating around the sun... signs of extraterrestrial activity, or is there a more rational and scientific explanation for this phenomenon?

Mount Everest is unquestionably the highest point on earth, but it doesn't always feel that way.

Does your toilet water drain differently than in the other hemisphere? Is it because of the Coriolis effect? Hank has some things to clarify about these questions, and more in this edition of I Don't Think It Means What You Think It Means.

Hank gets to the bottom of two studies reporting high sea ice coverage and snowmass in Antarctica in the same year that the Arctic has reported a record low of sea ice. What is going on here?

On the weekend of April 29th and 30th this year, a series of thunderstorms slammed the southern and midwestern US. SciShow News takes a look at those deadly storms using the latest, high-resolution data from the NOAA's GOES-16 weather...

You might want a really sturdy umbrella to dig into this video, because we’re discussing 5 animals that have a tendency to rain down from the sky and the reasons we think this might be happening!

Hank sits down with local meteorologist Mark Heyka for a 100% chance of fun as they discuss tornados and weather phenomenons. Then Jessi from Animal Wonders comes on to show off a pair of adorable sugar gliders.

Climate change is causing wildfire season to get worse every year. And our models of wildfires can't keep up with the things fires can do... like spawn devastating fire tornadoes.

It doesn't seem possible, but animal rain is definitely real, and there is an actual scientific explanation for it... probably.

How does heat affect airplanes? Turns out heat, speed and density connect to create dangerous situations.

Good weather forecasts save lives, but scientists are worried that 5G transmissions could drown out frequencies measured by weather satellites, setting weather forecasts back decades.

The equator is a clear and accurate line around Earth that makes measuring latitude a precise science, but when it came to figuring out how to do that with longitude, British sailors were at a loss. Until they devised a competition....

SciShow revisits Sharknado to discover the truth behind who would win in a battle between a tornado and a bomb. The answer... won't actually surprise you. But you might learn some interesting science along the way!

Who knew that a rainforest could be literal? Hosted by: Rose Bear Don't Walk (she/her)

Hank shares the latest developments in science, this week demystifying three freaky things in nature: the polar vortex, why some bugs are infertile, and how a chain can appear to defy gravity. You're welcome!
