Extreme Weather

Climate change is rapidly affecting our land, oceans, and atmosphere. Extreme weather, driven by the changing climate, gives rise to powerful hurricanes, torrential downpours, and drought, resulting in natural disasters. National Geographic brings you face to face with Mother Nature at her most dangerous in this film.

Experience the action as massive chunks of ice shear off a rapidly melting glacier in Alaska. In the Midwest, cameras capture storm chasers risking their lives to collect data as deadly tornadoes race toward them. In drought-ravaged California, filmmakers embed themselves with firefighters battling raging wildfires on the front lines.

The film unveils the surprising links between these three phenomena, demonstrating how small changes in one area can have major effects elsewhere.
