"...by reaching Category 5, Erin became the eleventh Cat-5 Atlantic hurricane of the past 10 years. No other 10-year period on record shows a higher count of Category 5 hurricanes." My latest unpaywalled 2-minute read for @nbcmiami.com www.nbcmiami.com/weather/hurr...

As climate change drives more fire weather days, wildfires are becoming more intense & frequent. High-tech solutions are stepping in to meet the threat. A Silicon Valley startup is using AI to detect wildfires early—before they explode into megafires. Watch the full story → youtu.be/IYTUfNBi0VI

From Drew Hawkins... "What does heat in New Orleans SOUND like? We know what it feels like. We know what the data looks like. But I had this idea of a way to represent the temperature data through sound — using music." www.tiktok.com/@drewhawkins... @climatecentral.org @wadrewhawkins.bsky.social

🎧New podcast from @scientistas.bsky.social has dropped! @bernwoodsplacky.bsky.social joins to talk all things climate communication. Give the episode a listen on this Friday 👇

Between Aug 15–16, Hurricane #Erin exploded from Cat 1 to Cat 5 in just over 24 hours. Winds ramped up 85 mph—topping out at 160 mph—over abnormally hot Atlantic waters amplified by human-caused, heat-trapping pollution. Here’s what attribution science shows 🧵

This is climate change.

This past week brought a landmark legal opinion for climate and set another series of staggering heat records: a powerful reminder of why we all have a role in accelerating climate solutions. Read the full edition of the newsletter here:

📍Japan is sweltering. Even for July, this heat is extreme—and climate change is making it worse. Climate Shift Index: 🌡️ July 23 lows (20–27°C) would be nearly impossible w/out climate change 🔥 Highs are 4–6°C above average—now 2–3x more likely due to heat-trapping pollution

🏙️ Even in the heart of summer, nights aren’t cooling like they used to. 🔴 Climate Shift Index shows that from Illinois and Michigan to the Gulf Coast, tonight's persistent warmth would be rare—or nearly impossible—without climate change. 🧵/1

Does it feel like flash floods are always in the headlines lately? Is the air extra humid...even for summer? Nights not cooling off like they used to? These extremes have something in common: Climate change is loading the atmosphere with more moisture. youtube.com/shorts/6_G3e...

As of Sunday evening, #DragonBravoFire at the Grand Canyon has grown to at least 5,000 acres. This fire was started by lightning on July 4th. The fire was, at first, confined. It has now spread "since conditions rapidly changed." inciweb.wildfire.gov/azgcp-dragon... 🧵/1

One of the comments that struck me in yesterday's call is how NOAA cuts are already affecting forecast capabilities. According to 45-year hurricane veteran Dr. Frank Marks, staff needed to fly NOAA Hurricane Hunters is down 50% this year. He's volunteering to pick up shifts to keep them running ⬇️

Hello all. I'm crowdsourcing ideas for an upcoming Aspen Ideas Climate panel. The request: what is your favorite example of climate change communication? There are so many great examples. I'm looking forward to hearing yours. Thanks.

The tension isn't the only thing rising at Wimbledon today.🎾 🌡️Hot temperatures are leading to multiple breaks in play due to heat-related medical issues for fans. The heat has been made at least 4x more likely due to human-caused climate change. sports.yahoo.com/tennis/break...

Extreme weather forecasting, warning, communication, & community relationships are so critical in keeping people safe and prepared--especially at a time when we are experiencing stronger storms with climate change. www.cnn.com/audio/podcas... @climatecentral.org @davidarind.bsky.social @cnn.com

Dangerous, climate change-boosted heat will impact the Western U.S. this week. Up to 43 million people will experience extreme heat that's at least 3x more likely due to human-caused climate change. For 25+ million, this unusual heat is at least 5x more likely. 🧵/1

A noticeably warm start to this July 9 across much of the U.S. 🌡️ Morning lows ran up to 15°F above average in the West 🌡️ 5–10°F warmer than normal along the East Coast For parts of the Desert Southwest and much of the East, this was one of the warmest July 9 mornings on record. 🧵/1

Japan recorded its hottest June since records began in 1898 — 🌡️ Temps: 2.34°C (4.21°F) above average 🌆 200+ locations hit 35°C (95°F) or hotter Extreme heat continues into July – climate change making it 3x to 5x more likely for much of the country. 🔗 watchers.news/2025/07/01/9...

After this weekend’s deadly Texas floods, many are asking: what made this storm so extreme — and what role did climate change play? Join climate & weather experts as we unpack the science and answer your questions. 📅Tuesday, July 8 | 11am ET Register 🔗 climatecentral-org.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

The Texas floods over the last 2 days were predominantly associated with a long-lasting mesoscale convective vortex (MCV), but notice how there are multiple discrete rainfall maxima shown in the contours, each associated with different rainfall rates, duration, and phenomenon:

Absolutely sweltering start to July for Europe. Climate change has a heavy hand, making this extreme/record heat more likely. Between Tues–Wed in the UK, Spain, France & Portugal: • 146.9M people faced heat made 3x more likely • 104.2M faced heat made almost impossible(5x) without climate change

Human-caused climate change is warming the planet. In cities, buildings & pavement make heat more intense. Heat is dangerous for everyone, but kids face greater health risks from extreme heat. 🤳Share how Urban Heat Island impacts your city with this template👉 www.canva.com/design/DAGrq...

Renewable energy = energy independence "Investment in renewables in particular is increasingly being seen as a cornerstone of energy security, enabling countries to disconnect their energy systems from global fuel markets and geopolitical tensions," the report says. www.axios.com/newsletters/...

More science data loss with potential impact on hurricane season: processing and delivery of Special Sensor Microwave Imager/Sounder ends by 30 Jun. SSMIS is used by forecasters to assess tropical storm location, cloud structure, and intensity. It’ll lead to 📉 in monitoring ability & forecast skill.

Along with hitting 100 degrees for the first time since 2012, Philadelphia set records for high daily minimum temperatures three days in a row starting Sunday, and was all but certain to add a fourth record Wednesday. (1/3)

My challenge to you is to talk about it (more). Talk about climate change. Talk about the importance of the scientific infrastructure in the US. Talk about the implications of these cuts on the economy, our health, public safety, the environment, and what this means for the next generation as well.

As our climate warms, the frequency of extreme events, like extreme heat, increases. Learn how climate change is driving a rise in extremely hot summer days in this Climate Matters ⬇️ www.climatecentral.org/climate-matt...
