Time-domain astronomy was identified as a key science area in the US Astro2020 Decadal Survey and is one of the active support areas of ASTRONET. Consistent with these priorities, dedicated facilities are being constructed for studying the variable sky. However, at millimeter wavelengths, only recently have such studies lifted off thanks to the advent of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), with unprecedented sensitivity, and of upgrades of other existing millimetre observatories. The advances in this field and how to overcome the associated challenges were the subject of a special session at the 2023 European Astronomical Society Annual Meeting.
