"There are definite signs that the weather is getting more extreme, so we are getting hotter days, more intense rainfall and stronger winds and that trend is clear. I would be cautious of looking at one weather event and tying that immediately to climate change. But yes, more extreme weather events are becoming more probable."

Is it becoming more difficult to forecast weather? "We have plenty of tech and tools and we have some of the brightest people I know working in meteorology."
