It reflects extensive feedback from academic and government institutions across Australia, supplemented by research that has emerged since the first report was prepared. Most of the changes relate to Section 5, which deals with changes to various extremes under different warming scenarios. The report also introduces a new section on Connected Extremes. The main findings from the original report still hold, and the Executive Summary highlights the key points to consider. The report now provides a summary of the latest climate science as of July 2020, explaining how climate change is impacting the severity and frequency of extreme weather events like tropical cyclones, hailstorms and rainfall in Australia, and what is likely to happen in the future.
