Are you interested in seasonal forecasts and how they have advanced over the past two decades? Chris O’Reilly (Univ. of Reading) led a new paper on exactly this: rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Good communication of weather forecast uncertainty.

Predicting extreme rainfall: What caused Pakistan’s record 2022 rainfall?🌧️ Our project partner @ecmwf.int has recently released a study examining the event and the role of human-induced #ClimateChange 📖 Read more: www.nature.com/articles/s41... @antjeweisheimer.bsky.social @cdroberts.bsky.social

What is forecast-based attribution? And did climate change influence the devastating monsoon rainfall in Pakistan, summer 2022? Find out from NCAS climate scientists @antjeweisheimer.bsky.social & @nickleach.bsky.social: ncas.ac.uk/climate-chan...

Two postdoc jobs available on our Arctic Butterflies project! (Not actual butterflies - basically Arctic dynamics and predictability - the butterfly effect in the Arctic...) Oxford job: tinyurl.com/yc6h4b35 Reading job: tinyurl.com/ypn75jh2 Please help spread the word!

New paper in ASL on assessing temperature trends in Seasonal Forecasting systems by me, @antjeweisheimer.bsky.social Daniel Befort, Julia Lockwood and John Slattery. We find that 7 out of 8 systems overestimated global temperature trends rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... 🧵

Our paper showing the differences between European and African weather forecast accuracy has appeared online. The results will not surprise meteorologists, but the international development community needs to hear this. Weather forecasting in Africa needs to be done differently.

With another exceptional heatwave in Europe, I have updated my post on temperature-related mortality during the early summer heatwave. diagrammonkey.wordpress.com/2025/07/09/i...

🌍 | To face the challenges of climate change, society will need to adapt and become more resilient. @oxfordphysics.bsky.social ‪Dr Antje Weisheimer and and @oxengsci.bsky.social‬ Prof Felix Leach explain why this is important. ⬇️ www.ox.ac.uk/climate-and-... #OxfordClimate

Job alert: we are looking for a postdoc to join the Atmospheric Dynamics group in Oxford to study Arctic atmospheric dynamics. The focus is on energy transfers between scales and implications for predictability. More details here: tinyurl.com/yc6h4b35

Three years ago, Pakistan faced a summer of deadly torrential rains that led to widespread flooding, impacting over 30 million people, thousands lost their lives. News reports quickly linked the disaster to climate change, highlighting the clear human impact and seemingly straightforward science.

It's absolutely peak Britain that the crown jewel of a new EU agreement is us getting access to better queues.

Excited to join the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society as an Associate Editor. Looking forward to supporting groundbreaking research in atmospheric chemistry and climate science, and contributing to our understanding of a changing planet. 🌍☁️🧪

Update: I realized the atlas works for me in Chrome but not in Firefox. Maybe helpful for others to know.

Hey @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social, it seems the Copernicus Interactive Climate Atlas is down? Is there an estimate when it will be up and running again? Asking for teaching and an outreach event on Saturday. Thanks in advance! (I hope I have found the right contact point.)

Gödel's Loophole is a supposed "inner contradiction" in the US Constitution, postulated by mathematician Kurt Gödel in 1947, which would permit the American democracy to be legally turned into a dictatorship. Since it has never been published, what it is, is not known. – edited from Wikipedia

„Jeder Mensch erfindet sich früher oder später eine Geschichte, die er für sein Leben hält, oder eine ganze Reihe von Geschichten.“ Max Frisch, gestorben am 4. April 1991 in Zürich.

EXPECT will be hosting a session at #EGU25 🎉 Markus G. Donat, Dim Coumou, Christian Lessig and Antje Weisheimer chair a session featuring a range of presentations covering understanding, attribution and prediction of climate and extremes. Read more 👉 meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio...

I‘m SO looking forward to Beth Gibbon‘s concert in London.

Working theory that could help explain everything: they are ALL drunk. All the time.

Great training course for beginner - intermediate climate modellers 👇

We are still looking for a student in the Mathematics for Our Future Climate Centre for Doctoral Training for the project "Machine Learning Approaches in Bayesian and Ensemble Data Assimilation" (1/3) www.reading.ac.uk/maths-and-st...

Das ist vielleicht die überraschendste und zugleich sinnigste Überschrift des Tages.

Launched today: the EarthCARE Science web site, to promote and support the widest possible international exploitation of #EarthCARE data! Includes: explainers of the scientific applications of the satellite (more to come), meet the team, tools, web stories, history and more. www.earthcarescience.net

Every so often, over on the other site, I used to post a plot of CO2 concentration at Mauna Loa against the old RCP data. I haven't done that for probably 3 years, so thought I'd quickly re-run my scripts. Looks like we're slowly drifting away from 2.6 & 4.5. Will add SSP data when I get a moment.

Should scientists leave Twitter? Pros: It's a form of protest against an ecosystem that may no longer be a safe or inclusive space, under Elon Musk. Cons: It may not serve the best interests of science communication because it cedes an influential space to misinformation. @ivanoamelio.bsky.social

Neil Young sowieso der Beste.

Do you have a strong background, including a PhD and publication record, in weather and climate dynamics or closely related areas? Would you like to apply your skills in an interdisciplinary research project on weather impacts on health across the globe ?

There will be lots of fine, settled weather as we head towards Spring, though we could see some fog and frost. Find out more in the 10 Day Trend: youtu.be/-rk6qqioSlA?...
