Types of Article
Weather and Climate Extremes accepts the following types of article:
1. Research articles: Research articles report the results of original research. The material must not have been previously published elsewhere. Full length articles are usually up to 7,500 words.
2. Short Communications: Short communications are meant to highlight important research that is novel or represents highly significant preliminary findings, and should be less than 4,000 words.

The article should be well grounded in evidence and adequately supported by citations but may focus on a stimulating and thought-provoking line of argument that represents a significant advance in thinking about the scientific and adaptation problems of weather and climate extremes and their solutions. Perspectives articles should not exceed 6000 words.
4. Letter to the Editor: Letters to the editor are written in response to a recent article appearing in the journal. Letters should be less than 800 words, with references kept to a minimum (three or fewer references).
