I have created a video lecture series called Understanding Lightning. It is a 9 part series using high-speed video, animations and electromagnetic data plots to explain lightning physical processes. No AI, just a simple lecture format. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Id_U...

A veure si als Rams se'ls congelen les pilotes! #Go Hawks!

Some good hail in that storm near Tulsa! A pretty impressive hail spike combined with azimuthal side lobe seems to indicate there's either big hail, a lot of hail, or both! Seems that right now ~1" hail has been dropping.

[EN] @remote-nico.bsky.social and I are very happy to share with you our paper just published in Tethys (@acam_cat), titled: "Assessment of tornado damage utilizing Sentinel-2 imagery and orthophoto maps: case studies in the Balearic Islands" 🔗 doi.org/10.3369/teth...

Hurricane #Kiko rapidly intensified to a Category 4 storm on 03 September, as shown by 1-minute #GOES18/#GOESWest Visible and Infrared images (with an overly of GLM Flash Points). More details on the CIMSS Satellite Blog: cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl...

Here’s a 48-hour water vapor loop of Ex-Hurricane Erin spinning on its final approach to Europe. Truly mesmerizing.

As reported by @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social, in the past 6 days emissions for Spain have reached the highest annual total fire emissions on record.

ESWD - JUNE 2025: 5,171 #severewx reports Largest Hail: 12cm (4.2'') i.d. in Gaiarine (Italy) Fatalities: 25 || Lightning: 18 | Wind: 7 | Rain/Floods: 1 || @bramvantveen.bsky.social @federicopavan.bsky.social @sarahhants.bsky.social @meteomabe.bsky.social @rued.com @dnsrop.bsky.social

An impressive upwelling event has occurred across the NW Mediterranean Sea over the past few days. Sea surface temperatures along the south coast of France have dropped by up to 10°C in less than 24 hours in some spots. This is only temporary however.

Let's 'meet' the satellite soon leaving Earth for its new home 36,000km up in space and the star of the show today: #MTGS1🛰️ Training Manager Mark Higgins is here to tell us everything: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMW6... *Don't forget to join us LIVE from 21:15 for the launch: bit.ly/4lbIjem

June 2025 ends with SST values three to five degrees above normal for this time of year in the western Mediterranean. Only the Aegean Sea shows a negative temperature anomaly.

MTG-S1 is now encapsulated and ready for launch no earlier than 1 July. The satellite has been integrated with the launch vehicle interface and enclosed within the rocket fairing, standing by for lift-off. 🚀 Join the watch party! View the launch live with us from EUMETSAT HQ: bit.ly/44rd5sm

Ash RGB images from #Himawari9 showed the volcanic cloud from an eruption of #Lewotobi in Indonesia -- this volcanic cloud was a mixture of Ash (shades of red) and SO2 (shades of yellow). Full resolution: cimss.ssec.wisc.edu/satellite-bl...

Taking a quick peek at firesmoke.ca/data/ ... things are heating up.

#Wildfires in #Canada have emitted massive amount #smoke that is clearly visible in GOME-2 (B+C) #AAI observations. Long range transportation over northern #Atlantic. AAI data either from #EUMETCast or SAF archive acsaf.org/products/arp...

Rainbow (and other common) color scales distort scientific data perception and make them unreadable for people with color-vision deficiency. Here is a very important paper by @fcrameri et al. explaining the issue in detail: nature.com/articles/s4146…

To stay safe from thunderstorms: 1. Plan to be inside before thunderstorms develop 2. Keep moving towards a lightning-safe place if thunderstorms develop when you're outside 3. Don't use the lightning crouch! #LightningSafety www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

New ESSL study: Lightning kills about 64 people per year across Europe, 78% of them being men. In eastern Europe most victims were at work, whilst in West Europe people engaging in leisure activities are hit more often. Read more in our article here: journals.ametsoc.org/view/journal...

🍊 Fresh Imagery (Jan 21, 2025) Fog over the Swiss Plateau, Switzerland, captured today by Landsat 9.

Very sad news. I learned more about severe local convective storms from Chuck Doswell than anyone else. He was a friend and mentor.

⛈️La Sicile balayée par de puissants orages ce vendredi : pluies intenses + mitraillage de foudre (cf. la carte, qui présente les éclairs détectés au cours des 12 dernières heures). Ces fortes pluies et orages vont se décaler ce week-end vers Sardaigne, Corse et sud Italie.

When we have reduced science to a mere chase for publications and grants, we have lost all connection to its true meaning 🧪.

I posted the last version of this too hastily. I wasn't satisfied with the art so I added more yeast. Now I think I'm done with it.

Satellite imagery today shows the strong, cold Mistral wind funneling through the gap between the Alps and Pyrenees, carrying dust out over the Mediterranean Sea.
