Hard to believe I’m even writing this. Meteorological summer hasn’t even begun, yet Paris, France has already logged more days above 32°C than its annual average.

Ontwikkeling gemiddelde temperatuur centraal Nederland vanaf 1706, voor steeds periode van 30 jaar (gemiddelde over alle maanden 15 jaar voor en 15 jaar na het punt op de grafiek). #Klimaat

Love this bit on Ai from the Royal Society. A classic case of the probability engine getting itself in a mess and revealing its complete lack of understanding

I’m a climate scientist. Let me fix this headline. “Nearly a century ago, scientists showed that burning fossil fuels warms the planet. Today, we know human emissions account for over 100% of the warming. Yet dark money and disinformation still work to keep Americans addicted to fossil fuels.”

🌡Série redoutée, annoncée puis observée : hallucinante série de 8 jours consécutifs >= 32 °C en mai à #Paris... (la moyenne des maximales en mai y est de 20 °C) #canicule À noter : en 1947, 12 jours >= 32 °C mais dans les conditions de mesures actuelles (ancien abri jusqu'en mai 1948... (1/2)

Based on preliminary estimate, the meteorological spring (Mar-May) will be record-warm in Helsinki Kaisaniemi, Finland's longest running weather station (records kept since 1845). The mean temperature is estimated to be 6.9 °C that will break the long-standing record of 6.6 °C from 1921.

The mind blowing MINIMUM of 21.4C at Camborne UK today it's its highest Minimum EVER FOR ANY MONTH. IRELAND TODAY 29.6C Valentia 0.2C from its ALL TIME RECORD 28.7 Bellmulet 27.3 Mace Head Not even the July 2022 event with 40C beats this madness It's just the most anomalous

This is the right image to use for a heat wave; not one of children playing in the fountain or people frolicking on the beach.

Most remarkable indeed. Might there be an underlying cause?

What some of us have been warning of for decades is happening, faster and fiercer than most imagined, even in the mildest and most temperate corners of the world. #ClimateBreakdown

The most anomalous maximum temperature recording regarding stations and their records seems to be 33.3ºC at Wellesbourne. This beats the old May record for the station by 6.1ºC before this spell (27.2ºC, 2010) as well as the June record by 2.2ºC (31.2ºC, 1976), extraordinary.

Exceptional temperatures require exceptional atmospheric circulation. The intensity of the 500-hPa ridge ("heat dome") driving the present heatwave in western Europe is distinctly outside the monthly climatology for May.

32.3ºC at Kew Gardens is the hottest May temperature on record at the station since records began in 1881, beating its previous May maximum by 2ºC (30.3ºC, 25th May 1922). It beat its maximum temperature date record for the 24th of May by OVER 2ºC (30.2ºC, 1922), exceptional.

Vandaag speelt regen de hoofdrol op de radarbeelden, maar zaterdag waren insecten heer en meester! 🦟 Op warme, rustige lentedagen vullen ze de onderste luchtlagen massaal, en worden ze zichtbaar op de ongefilterde radarbeelden. Daarbij onthullen ze de atmosfeerstructuur! 📡 Radar Herwijnen, KNMI. 🧵

We need to talk a bit about how utterly absurd the March heatwave was in the USA. This heatwave would have been impossible without a boost from climate change, but even with climate change it remains a deeply unlikely event. A thread looking at some of the numbers. 🧵

"Voor het overheidsbeleid is het veel relevanter dat de 1,5 graad niet gehaald gaat worden", zegt Michel den Elzen (PBL) over de nieuwe set aan emissiescenario's. Van de huidige set aan scenario's zijn zowel het hoogste als het laagste scenario niet langer plausibel. www.rtl.nl/nieuws/econo...

Diederik Samsom: "De vooruitgang van de mensheid is een aaneenschakeling van zelfvernietigende voorspellingen: waarschuwingen die gelukkig (net) niet uitkomen doordat we op tijd genoeg samenwerking en verantwoordelijkheidsgevoel aanboren."

Last fall, this deep sinkhole appeared at one of our field sites, with ground collapse happening in just a few weeks. This is what abrupt permafrost thaw looks like, with implications for soil stability, erosion, and methane emissions. Will be curious to see what happens here this summer.

I can‘t figure out why, but I have never seen news stories about how oil rigs hurt whales. Only wind farms do that. And only solar panels have a recycling problem. Gas stations are fine.

Breaking News! Code: Good News, Bad News Good News: NOAA just released both the March and April CO2 numbers, and we're all caught up! Bad News: The 3-year mean rate of atmospheric CO2 growth just hit yet another new record high as of April's Mauna Loa data, now at 8.24 ppm per 3 years.
