This talk gives an overview of noteworthy large-scale weather and climate anomalies in 2011, with a discussion of the resultant seasonal temperature and precipitation anomalies around the Globe. Weather and climate events include drought- and heat waves, wildfire seasons, major tropical cyclones, extratropical storms, flooding rains, snow storms, as well as cold waves. Where possible, these are related to the La Ni�a conditions of last year, as well as to expected impacts due to anthropogenic climate change.
