TL;DR: In some areas of the world increases in extreme events are apparent, while in others there appears to be a decline as mentioned in this paper, and this information increased ability to monitor and detect multidecadal variations and trends is critical to begin to detect any observed changes and understand their origins.

TL;DR: In this article, a number of climate models representing possible future climate states have been used to predict weather and climate extremes, such as a greater frequency of extreme warm days and lower frequency of extremely cold days associated with a warmer mean climate, a decrease in diurnal temperature range associated with higher nighttime temperatures, increased precipitation intensity, midcontinent summer drying, decreasing daily variability of surface temperature in winter, and increasing variability of northern midlatitude summer surface temperatures.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present some indications from observations concerning how climatic extremes may have changed in the past and how they could change in the future either due to natural climate fluctuations or under conditions of greenhouse gas-induced warming.

TL;DR: In this article, the challenges associated with forecasting extratropical transition are described in terms of the forecast variables (track, intensity, surface winds, precipitation) and their impacts (flooding, bush fires, ocean response).

TL;DR: A comprehensive climatology of extratropically transitioning tropical cyclones in the Atlantic basin is presented in this paper, where storm tracks and intensities over a period from 1899 to 1996 are examined.
