Weather has always been one of the most dynamic and complex forces shaping our planet, but now it’s intensifying in varied and complex ways. The feature film ‘Extreme Weather’ takes us to the frontlines where few have gone.

Among the melting tidewater glaciers of Alaska, National Geographic Emerging Explorer Dr. Erin Pettit leads a young team of researchers into the splash zone at the face of Dawes Glacier aboard a boat custom-designed to get as close as possible to the calving ice. Using a variety of instruments, her team works to measure the rate of melting to help build a more accurate model of global ocean level rise.

In the Great Plains of the United States, Oklahoma native Justin Walker tries to place pods of sensors inside tornados as part of an effort to determine if tornado outbreaks are growing more extreme. Working with driver Herb Stein, he races across the farm roads of the Heartland to get his instruments in direct contact with one of the most destructive forces on the planet.

A prolonged draught in California has caused the death of huge swaths of forest, creating a dangerous surge in the intensity of wildfires. Firefighters battle through smoke so thick it looks like night and so shockingly close to the heat that out-of-control flames lick at the lens. These growing infernos are themselves speeding the rate of polar ice melt, influenced by and also an influence on our increasingly extreme weather.

Follow these researchers and everyday heroes as they uncover surprising connections to help us understand and adapt to our ever-changing weather.

  1. I know it took Sean quite a few years to catch the best tornados for the camera. Our tour group used to run into him and his TIV often on the great plains each spring.

  2. Hi guys! Go check out Ecosia. It is a search engine that plants a tree for every 45 searches u make. These trees are planted in places that are extremely vulnerable to climate change. If you think this is fake, u can always check out their YouTube channel. Stay safe guys 🙂 bai bai

  3. Boi I wached very good movie don't click read more for spoilers

  4. People need to open their minds to reality. The Sun operates on an 11 year cycle. You must be open to both sides of anything, so you also need to watch Climate Hustle and compare.

  5. 3 presidential debates yet no mention of climate change and the effects that are with us today. Extreme weather is growing around the globe and the majority of our politicians ignore it.
