A truly devastating situation unfolding #Melissa now sustained 175mph, gusts over 200mph Central pressure 906hpa

Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm, is forecast to bring catastrophic damage to parts of the Caribbean The mountains of Jamaica could receive 1 metre of rain, resulting in life-threatening flash flooding and landslides Destructive winds and storm surges are also likely

This evening's update from the U.S. National Hurricane Center on #Melissa is ominous, and explicitly mentions: "catastrophic and life-threatening flash flooding...extensive infrastructural damage...and potentially prolonged isolation of communities" in both Jamaica & Haiti.

Jamaica, in particular, will likely suffer catastrophic impacts from now rapidly-intensifying (but slow-moving) Hurricane #Melissa. A *Category 5* landfall now appears to be the most likely outcome, & 30-40+ inches of *additional* rain in mountains will lead to extreme flooding.

#Hurricane #Melissa forecast to reach Category 5 intensity on Monday If so, it would be the 3rd Cat 5 of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season (Erin & Humberto were the other 2) Only 1 other Atlantic season on record has had >2 Cat. 5s: 2005 (Emily, Katrina, Rita, Wilma)

Seeing the "UK's first Super university" headlines and being puzzled the article isn't a University of Wales retrospective piece

Summer 1976 v 2025.. Attribution studies show that, in a “natural” climate without human-induced greenhouse gas emissions, a summer like 2025 would be a ~1-in-340-year event. In our current climate, however, it is estimated to be a 1-in-5-year event www.metoffice.gov.uk/blog/2025/ho...

Met Office stats confirm summer 2025 is officially the warmest summer on record for the UK. The UK’s mean temp of 16.10°C surpasses the previous record of  15.76°C and pushes the summer of 1976 out of the top 5 warmest summers. www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

Provisional statistics from the Met Office show that summer 2025 will ‘almost certainly’ be the warmest summer on record for the UK. It would move 2018 off the top spot and relegate 1976 out of the top five warmest summer in a series which dates back to 1884. 👉 www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

Incredible.. Following the warmest and sunniest spring on record for the UK, we've now likely had the warmest summer on record.  “This moves 1976 out of the top 5 warmest summers since 1884, leaving all 5 warmest summers having occurred since yr 2000". www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

This week is 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina / New Orleans. There's a 5 part series on National Geographic tv called Hurricane Katrina Race Against Time which pulls no punches. Sky have it available on demand for a bit, worth a watch from behind the sofa if you are in Emergency Management

When an article says "some scientists think" then remember this: I, a scientist, once thought I could fit a whole orange in my mouth. I could, it turns out, get it in there, but I hadn't given sufficient thought to the reverse operation.

It's set to be a hot week for many, but the peak of the heat will be in different regions each day 🌡️ Take a look at what temperatures your area could reach 👇

The third #heatwave of the season on the way.. www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

The Lions game is on S4C for those of us not on Sky. The commentary is better, for a start. We have just been treated to Dwayne Peel in a fetching pink jacket.

Whitechurch and Heathrow Airport were the warmest places in the UK today, both reaching 30.8C. It was also Wales' warmest day of the year so far for the second day running. Here is the warmest place in each nation.

"This illustrates a growing pattern: even in cooler years, short-lived but intense heat events are becoming more common" 30C is reached more routinely here in the UK during summer, than in the past.. www.metoffice.gov.uk/blog/2025/sc...

Today has been the UK's warmest day of the year so far, with 32.2C in Kew Gardens and Heathrow Airport in London. It has also been Wales' warmest day of the year so far, with 30.1C in Cardiff. Here's the warmest place in each nation.

Just how high will temperatures get? 🌡️ Here's a look at when the peak temperatures may occur where you are over the next few days 📈

This week the temperatures are rising and the humidity is building and from Wednesday we are going to see some thundery storms developing. Find out all the details on this week's weather in our Week Ahead forecast with Alex Deakin👇

🌡️ ☀️ The UK has recorded its warmest and sunniest spring on record, according to provisional Met Office statistics. Spring 2025 is now the 4th sunniest season overall for the UK, with only 3 summers sunnier since 1910. Full details here: www.metoffice.gov.uk/about-us/new...

My friend is in charge of the team that wrote the climate change adaptation plan for Switzerland and this is one of the things they expected.

Tomorrow's maximum temperatures compared to average temperatures for this time of the year: It’s set to be unusually warm across much of the UK this Wednesday, with temperatures expected to be 10–12°C above the seasonal average 🔥🌡️

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... In common with many nations the UK is growing more fiery as the climate warms. We are going to need to adapt to more frequent and severe fires.

the latest volley in the age-old competition between dynamical and statistical prediction methods. The latter might now have the upper hand (by certain measures) but they are also subject to strong "stationarity" assumptions that could lead to bias in the presence of a changing climate.

New research shows the damaging fires during the UK’s record-breaking 2022 heatwave were made at least six times more likely due to human-caused climate change. Find out more below, or read this thread 👇 🧵 @ukceh.bsky.social | UniofExeter
