Global Weather and Climate Extremes of 2018 (Invited Presentation)

This talk gives an overview of noteworthy large-scale weather and climate events in 2018. To the extent they can be detected, these include droughts, heat- and cold waves, major tropical cyclones, extratropical storms, flooding rains, and snow storms. Where possible, these are related to the varying ENSO conditions of 2018, as well as to anthropogenic climate change.
