Assess the severity of wind scarcity and cold spells globally with our latest dual climate analysis. Understand whether recent wind production drops and temperature anomalies were standard seasonal variations or 1-in-10-year historical events.

• Quantify Rarity: Identify global regions experiencing extreme wind droughts or severe cold spell anomalies (benchmarked against key percentile thresholds).
• Historical Context: See how the June–August 2026 period compares against the 1993–2016 climatology baseline across both wind and temperature metrics.
• Weighted Insights: Our methodology prioritizes the most recent data to capture real-time operational and market challenges.
• Strategic Decision-Making: Use high-resolution global data to explain generation gaps and demand spikes to stakeholders.
  
  

Our analysis uses a "ladder of rarity" to categorize how unusually severe these wind droughts and cold spells have been. The scale reflects the historical probability of such climate events:

• Mild: historical occurrence of 1 in 6 times.
• Moderate: historical occurrence of 1 in 8 times.
• Severe: historical occurrence of 1 in 10 times.
• Extreme (Deep Red): events expected only a couple of times per decade. These represent the worst end of the historical distribution (below P10).
