Astonishing feat! US will break its record for the warmest Christmas by ~5°F! That’s remarkable. Anomalies are up to +40°F in the nation’s middle and as you can see the US has the warmest air - relative to average - in the World! H/T to @BenNollWeather

It's official: Today was the warmest Christmas in US history. It was raining and nearly 40°F here in Minneapolis.

This title is an understatement This video delivers

First day of surf patrols at #KingstonBeach #Tasmania #SLSA #SLSTas . The same low that brought all the snow the last three days whipped up some solid swell for Hobart’s usually sheltered beaches.

🔴⚠️⛈🇺🇸A very hard #Christmas time for southern #California:six counties in state of emergency and 40 milions people under #flood alert due to atmospheric rivers hitting the state since yesterday. ⬇️latest 24hrs seen by #GOES18+rainviewer via @zoom.earth #ClimateEmergency

The last week of 2025 will bring us the strongest windstorm of the year. Forecasted maximum gusts of ~140 km/h (39 m/s) and the affected area are more or less similar to the recent extreme northerly windstorms in Finland (Aapeli 2019, Lyly 2024).

Pretty impressive mini-supercell thunderstorms over Monterey Bay right now with a tight rotational couplet and even a bit of a hook echo. This cell is likely producing a waterspout, and is headed for Santa Cruz area. A brief tornado is possible when it makes landfall. #CAwx

Exceptional warm Xmas night with widespread Minimums into the 60s in Central States like OKlahoma (up to 63F) and Missouri, more typical of September. In Texas Minimums up to 70F. And in Mexico up to 80F (26.7C) in Chiapas Let's wait for the maxes and several records coming.

Well, it has turned into a sleepless night for many in the SF Bay Area due to severe weather. Squall lines containing severe thunderstorms have brought torrential rain (leading to flash flooding) and damaging wind gusts of 60-80 mph. Lots of NWS warnings out. Quite a storm! #CAwx

And we have a white Christmas. It’s summer ffs!

Parts of SoCal have reached the 1-in-50 to 1-in-100 year recurrence interval (purple/ magenta). This means the chance of an event this extreme in these specific isolated areas is only 1-2% in any year. Several inches have piled up, heavy rain persists, and run off from higher elevations continues.

What could be better than a ball on the tip of your nose if you’re a ball-obsessed doggo like #Wally? #Christmas2025

TRILOBITE BEETLES!!! 😍🌿 Some of the coolest bugs in Asia’s rainforests are these female Lycid Beetles, that look like they’re from prehistoric ages!😱🦕 They retain their larval form as adults and feed on decaying matter in the leaf litter of the forest! 🍂 I get goosebumps every time I see them! 😁

merry jockmas to you and yours

First #Christmas day snow on the mountain for a while #FeelsCold #Tasmania #Summer #Kunanyi / #MtWellington

White Christmas for #Tasmania . Presents will have to wait as there’s a mountain to climb 🤗

A white Christmas Eve on Kunanyi / Mt Wellington. Wild flowers are stunning this time of year and don’t mind the chilly weather. Tomorrow will bring our first white Christmas since 2020 down here 🤗🥳☃️

As we approach the end of the year, 2025 is on track to be one of the UK’s warmest years on record, joining 2022 and 2023 in the top three warmest years. Find out more in our news release 👇 www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

Our Echinopsis subdenudata flowed at 3am. Fortunately someone was up to capture its once a year night time bloom.

Interior of the main building of the London Natural History Museum. Housing incredibly beautiful displays, the building in an of itself is worth a visit. #Photography #Architecture #Museum #London 📷

Cooler conditions have instead returned to Southern Australia after a harsh heat wave few days ago when the Temperature reached 47.5C at Eyre, which is so far the world highest Temperature during this December 2025. Will it hold on top ? On @extremetemps you'll find it out.

High temperatures Christmas Day 1922 - the warmest on record (since 1895). Will Christmas 2025 be warmer? 🔥🎅

🥵EXTRAORDINARY HEAT Dozens of December records pulverized in Texas,Colorado,New Mexico,Kansas etc Some examples: TX 85 Lubbock 83 Amarillo CO 83 Springfield 79 Wray 79 Yuma KS 80 Leoti In Colorado records were broken locally by 4/5F It's like June and just the beginning

Warmest Christmas 🎄 on record?! Watch as two smaller heat domes combine to form a Huge Christmas Heat Dome - the most intense on record in the Nation’s middle. Half of US States will set heat records. 100s will fall! The only escape will be the West Coast and Northeast. #weather #christmas #record

❄️Extreme cold Canada just beat Russia by dropping to -55C first at Braeburn in Yukon,while Siberia is chasing it (-54.7C at Iema and going down). ‼️This is the first time Canada reaches -55C since 1999.

This map shows the projection of changes in annual precipitation in South Africa at ~1.5°C of heating. This is already playing out in real-time in December 2025. Floods in KZN (iol.co.za/news/south...) Drought in the WC (peterdutoit.com/knys...)

Let’s see what we can learn from temperature change in the next two years – mailchi.mp/caa/global-t... Also available on Substack: jimehansen.substack.com/.../global-t....

Solar noon shadows in Anchorage on the winter solstice.

It's hard to conceive a more extreme North America than this: Abnormal warmth in most of USA/Mexico and Greenland and persistent harsh cold in most of Canada squeezed in between. 20 stations above freezing in GREENLAND Mexico >97F/36C in the North,South,East and West.

Utqiaġvik, AK, at 71.29° N latitude, has no sunrise for 65 consecutive days, but even on the winter solstice, there are still several hours of useable twilight. Here are FAA webcam photos from today at solar noon. @alaskawx.bsky.social

Although NorCal flood issues so far have mostly been minor, an exception is near Redding in northern Sac Valley. A narrow but persistent & stationary band of torrential downpours associated w/convergence zone has resulted in significant & still-escalating flash flooding. #CAwx

22nd December 2025 Colours and patterns in summer in Trentham.

Today’s gang gang was hideously cute 😇

Happy summer Solstice 🥳

EXCEPTIONAL WARMTH IN JAPAN 21 Monthly records:9 High Minimums yesterday and 12 High maxes today (see lists by JMA). Note how Oma tied its high max. December record in the middle on the night and on the day 21st: crazy In the southern islands Minimums up to 23C: Sleeping with AC in December !

These naked little flesh sack gang gangs are so great lol

21st December 2025 This storm and I arrived at Maryborough, Victoria at the same time from different directions. Couldn’t see this detail till about 60 seconds before!!! Now torrential rain. 21st December 2025

A warning to any automakers slowing down in the EV race: Chinese giant BYD is making the impossible possible. insideevs.com/features/782...

For >200 million Americans this Xmas will feel surreal. More like an Easter weather when not even warmer specially the night temperatures.

we do doodle-led grooming so basically i shave her until she’s had enough and then we have a break until she’s ready to go again and it makes for some hilarious coats in the between times #adventuredoodle

HISTORIC HEAT WAVE IN EAST ASIA Never happened anything like this ,this time of the year 31C in CHINA 22.5C Sogwipo SOUTH KOREA- Record December heat Minimums up to 18C in Korean Peninsula In NORTH KOREA Records December warmest night pulverized everywhere

20th December 2025 Iridescence and cirrus. Trentham.

I've put together my predictions for 2026 and 2027 temperatures over at The Climate Brink. I expect 2026 will likely end up similar to 2023 and 2025 at ~1.4C, while 2027 will likely be considerably warmer (conditional on El Nino): www.theclimatebrink....

Scientists are supposed to be happy when their predictions are skillful, right? Why do I not feel happy?

Think we can almost lock in the first white Christmas for the big mountain above #Hobart since 2020. Already planning a Christmas Eve hike, and might need to do a Christmas one as well :)

Merry Christmas! 🔥🎄
