Two in a row though for Yemen. First one caused a lot of flooding.

Jeff Masters and Bob Henson have blob blog coverage, on the Atlantic and Yemen:

Also of note is probably a very interesting report:

I don't have time to look at it much, but sounds interesting.
"The science of deciphering how much long-term climate change influences shorter-term weather and climate events continues to blossom. On Thursday, the American Meteorological Society (AMS) released its fourth annual special issue of the Bulletin of the AMS devoted to these attribution studies. Launched in 2012 as an experiment, the project hit a nerve: researchers and the public were both intensely interested in the connection between human-produced greenhouse gases and high-profile, high-impact weather. This year's batch of studies, which focuses on events from 2014, is the largest yet: a total of 32, including more than 100 researchers from 20 countries looking at 28 extreme weather and climate events from all seven continents. New topics this year include tropical cyclones, forest fires, and anomalies in sea surface temperature and sea level pressure. For about half of the events studied in this year's AMS report, scientists found that human-induced climate change played a measurable role in making the event stronger and/or more likely."
