⚠️Seeing Smoke Near Forest Lakes? Here’s Why 🚩 Satellite imagery shows smoke from prescribed burns in the Black Mesa Ranger District. Winds push smoke northeast toward Snowflake. The burns reduce #wildfire risk but may cause haze through mid-November. 🚒👩‍🚒🔥 #NMwx #AZFire #WildfireSmoke

Here's a map of UK fire activity in 2025. 2025 was a record year for both number of fires and burnt area in the UK, according to the satellite record. Data from EFFIS, based on MODIS and Sentinel observations. 🔥#ukwildfires #wildfires

“2024 saw record deaths from #AirPollution from wildfires driven by climate change, showing the urgency of curbing emissions to stop this insane death spiral. Action on super pollutants...is our emergency brake to decisively slow global warming.” @nina-ren.bsky.social ✍️🔽

🌀 Climate change made #HurricaneMelissa more intense. 📈 Up to 10% wetter (💧+14 mm/day) 💨 Up to 10% windier (+8 km/h) Our new @climameter.bsky.social study shows that natural variability alone can’t explain these changes — human-caused warming is a key driver. 👉 climameter.org/20251027-hur...

L’ouragan #Melissa frappe la Jamaïque ce mardi. C’est la première fois qu’un ouragan d’une telle catégorie touche les terres de ce pays. Il est aussi l’un des ouragans les plus puissants jamais enregistrés dans le bassin des Caraïbes. Le point complet ici 👉 meteofrance.com/actualites-e...

A satellite view captures the severe Sierra de Tamajón #fire, showing active flames, charred land, and dense smoke. Winds carry the plume far, dispersing it across the Mediterranean to the Balearic Sea, highlighting the fire’s extensive environmental impact.🌬🔥

The concept of trying to implement geoengineering solutions to #climate change is like trying to design a complicated, expensive, unreliable helmet while you're still hitting yourself in the head with a 2x4.

A challenging summer for air quality saw the highest wildfire emissions in 23 years in Europe & the UK, driven by wildfires in Iberia. CAMS data also revealed repeated episodes of transatlantic smoke, Saharan dust and ozone spikes. Read the article: atmosphere.copernicus.eu/highest-wild...

The first images from @eumetsat.int's MetOp-SG-A1's 3MI instrument are in. 3MI monitors atmospheric aerosols, providing new insights into how these tiny particles affect air quality and climate 🌏 www.esa.int/ESA_Multimed...

🔴 ⚠️ 🔥 🛰️ Few days after the end of the meteorological summer, the wildfire season was not over yet in the iberian peninsula: the new Fire Temperature RGB from MTG on #Eumetview shows the wide burn scars across Portugal and Spain also visualizing hotspots still active in the area ⬇️ 📸Sept.6 at 11UTC

🌍 Un engagement ambitieux de l’Europe pour 2040 est indispensable pour maintenir vivants les objectifs de l’Accord de Paris. La position de la France fait peser un risque important sur l’adoption par l'UE d’objectifs à la mesure du défi climatique. ➡️ www.hautconseilclimat.fr/actualites/o...

We do desperately need them to better understand past, current, and future climate change. Especially since climate change has accelerated: "Annual updates to ‘climate forcing’ data sets would allow simulations to keep pace as global warming accelerates." www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Massive clouds of smoke over large areas of Africa today, just south of the convective ITCZ belt, where the region is still in dry season, seen in the Met-12 True Colour RGBs. The green colour in the Cloud Type RGB suggests the smoke resides in the lower layers of troposphere 1/2

Se habla de que el abandono rural y la expansión de la vegetación han influido mucho en los incendios pero poco de cómo de disponible estaba esa vegetación para arder. Si consideramos el índice de sequía SPEI a 3 meses, en zonas de Ourense o León estaríamos hablando de valores récord ‼️🍂

🔥 Emissions from Spain and Portugal #wildfires so far this year account for three quarters of 2025 total fire emissions for the European Union + United Kingdom based on #CopernicusAtmosphere data. As of 25 August, EU+UK emissions are the highest annual total in the GFAS dataset going back to 2003.

Evolution in fire danger due to climate change is of strong concern in Southwest France. The results highlight the strong benefits of reducing greenhouse gases emissions to limit the danger of wildfire.  www.nature.com/articles/s44...

🔥 Our new research in @science.org shows that people are increasingly exposed to fires globally, driven by overlapping shifts in where #fires occur and where people live. But changes in exposure vary hugely by region and are shaped by different population dynamics.👇 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Les fumées des feux en Espagne et au Portugal traversent aujourd'hui la France, donnant ce soir des images assez folles au coucher de soleil …

Aller en altitude pour un peu de fraîcheur... Même pas. Les #Pyrénées sont secs&poussiéreux sous une chape de chaleur extrême qui chalume chênes & hêtres littéralement cramés en patch sur les pentes. Bivouac étrange avec un lever de soleil apocalyptique sous effet des fumées des incendies en 🇪🇸🇵🇹

A massive cyclonic system, advancing in recent days, drives Canadian #wildfire smoke toward #Europe. Yellow-marked #SaharanDust drifts west to the Americas, possibly merging with it. Another stronger #dust plume moves north from #Africa, blending with smoke from #Spain & #Portugal over Europe.🌬🔥💨🌍

Europe Breathes Smoke😷 Thick smoke from #wildfires blankets parts of southern #Europe and North Africa, especially Italy, Algeria, and the Med Sea. These plumes, visible on satellite, indicate widespread #fire activity, with serious implications for #AirQuality, ecosystems, and #climate feedbacks.

The EUBURN-SILEX campaign has just ended after a dozen flights over 🇫🇷 fires and 🇨🇦 plumes transported over the 🇫🇷 country. A comprehensive database was acquired using a set of innovative ✈️ in-situ and remote sensing instruments. Next phase is the postprocessing of the database acquired. 🔥 #EUBURN

We got an exceedingly rare view of #pyrocumulus as they were forming above the fire. Scientists are studying the composition and physical properties of smoke to better understand its meteorological and climate impacts.

Picture taken over Southern France on July 26, 2025 from the research aircraft during the SILEX field campaign. Researchers outfitted the aircraft with instruments to measure fire intensity and spread, meteorological conditions, and smoke plume properties. #EUBURN

🔥​ ✈️ Une équipe de recherche, dont fait partie Météo-France, réalise actuellement une campagne aéroportée d’étude des feux de forêts, nommée SILEX, dans le cadre du programme européen de rechercher EUBURN co-piloté par Météo-France et le @cnrs.fr.
