On February 19, following a heavy snow, an avalanche in Afghanistan's Nuristan Province killed 25 people.[15]
Heat waves and droughts
For the first time, in each month in a 12-month period (through June 2024), Earth’s average temperature exceeded 1.50 °C (2.70 °F) above the pre-industrial baseline.[17]
In a near-record heat wave, temperatures in Antarctica reached 28 °C (50 °F) above normal on certain days.[18]
The global average surface temperature in August 2024 was 1.51 °C (2.72 °F) above the pre-industrial level—the 13th month in a 14-month period for which it exceeded the 1.50 °C (2.70 °F) threshold.[19]
As reported in September, Brazil was experiencing its worst drought on record, affecting at least 59% of the country.[20]
For the week of October 23-28, 48 U.S. states were experiencing at least moderate drought, the greatest number of states in U.S. Drought Monitor history.[21]

On January 1, Tropical Storm Alvaro made landfall in Madagascar.[citation needed] Alvaro would kill nineteen people.[22] After a lull in activity, Cyclone Belal would form, bringing heavy wind to the islands of Mauritius and Réunion. A few days later, Tropical Storm Candice would form.
Hurricane Beryl, the earliest Category 5 storm on record in the Atlantic (forming 28 June and reaching Category 5 on 1 July),[23] broke records for rapid intensification 65 mph (105 km/h) in 24 hours), overall strength, and location for June.[24] It killed 50 people.

The first European windstorm of 2024 was Storm Henk, which was named by the Met Office on 2 January 2024 and subsequently Annelie by the FUB the same day,[25] due to the threat of very strong winds.[26]
