The KNMI Climate Explorer is a great resource to interactively work with both observational and climate model data, including extreme value analysis: [https://climexp.knmi.nl/](https://climexp.knmi.nl/)
 
For recent studies on if/how anthropogenic climate change contributed to a particular extreme event in the recent news, follow World Weather Attribution [(worldweatherattribution.org/)](https://www.worldweatherattribution.org/)
 
To access a large amount of climate data (in particular model data), including some computational resources for analysis, check out the Pangeo platform (which was one of the inspirations for Climatematch) at [pangeo.io](https://pangeo.io).
 
There is a wealth of recent literature on extreme events in climate, one of the most topical areas of climate change research of the past decade.
