After thumping the USMNT 4-1, Belgium players take the piss out of Trump during their locker room celebrations, singing "YMCA" & mocking the so-called Trump dance. Soccer is politics by other means, no doubt about it.

The UK ‘only’ contributes 1% of global emissions – in our new article for @theconversation.com we show why it doesn't make us exempt from climate action. theconversation.com/uk-only-cont... @chlobrim.bsky.social @eciu.net @bas.ac.uk @ox.ac.uk

"Extreme Heat Isn’t the Only Climate Impact Shocking Scientists" by Eric Roston for @bloomberg.com: www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Whatever happens, Solbakken deserves a lot of credit for a very big call at half-time, bringing on Schjelderup and Bobb (who'd been terrific against France, mais oui) as he did. It's worked out a treat. So far...

UEFA may support Belgium's protestations against the suspension of Balogun's ban. This feels like a key moment - not in this WC, but in Infantino's reign. The award of the Fifa Peace Prize to Trump was the pivotal moment, but Gianni didn't hear the trigger. He carried on. He'll regret it.

Comparing the UK heatwaves of June 1976 and June 2026... Daytime maximum & night minimum temperatures were much hotter in 2026. Details: maxima over 21st-30th June in both years. Uses provisional 2026 HadUK-Grid data from Met Office NCIC. Note the difference scale is larger for night minimums.

It's a warm and fine weekend to come for many, ahead of higher temperatures next week☀️ However, cloud, wind and rain will continue to affect parts of the north, especially the west and northwest of Scotland. Watch the full weekend forecast with Aidan McGivern.👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=61dG...

Lise Klaveness, the Norwegian football association head, who has backed an ethics committee investigation into Gianni Infantino, clearly delighted to be sat next to him at Norway-Ivory Coast today

The June temperature records set in the summer of 1976 have been broken in the past week as extraordinary heat affected many parts of the UK. But, aside from temperature records, how do the two heatwaves compare? Take a Deep Dive with Aidan 👇 youtu.be/Ca0thx-WLfc

Wet-bulb temperature combines heat and humidity into a measure that is linked to heat stress. Climate change has made this week's wet-bulb temperatures at least 5x more likely across many areas, with dangerous levels expected in some locations. Explore the data: csi.climatecentral.org/humid-heat

Maximum temperature anomalies over the UK for the last two days. If you're wondering whether we need a new colour scale... you're not wrong. These anomaly maps are relative to the 1991-2020 average. (Based on HadUK-Grid dataset and produced by the Met Office National Climate Information Centre)

New attribution study by Keeping, T., et al. (2026): Climate change made Europe’s June 2026 heatwave much hotter and more likely, while Urban Heat Island (UHI) effects intensified heat in cities. #climatechange #UHI #climateemergency #heatwave www.worldweatherattribution.org/wp-content/u...

37.3°C at Santon Downham in Suffolk is provisionally the hottest UK June day in history, beating 35.6°C set at Southampton in 1976 by 1.7°C. It is the sixth hottest day in UK history, beating 37.1°C at Cheltenham in August 1990, which was once the all-time UK record. An unprecedented heatwave.

"Europe’s extreme heat would be impossible without climate change, scientists say" by Alexa St. John for the @apnews.com: apnews.com/article/euro...

It’s likely we will set a new all time June temperature record again today, this time somewhere across East Anglia with a high of 38/39°C. There is a small chance somewhere around Norfolk could reach 40°C this afternoon.

🎉 A positive tipping point: sales of new electric cars just overtook petrol car sales in the UK for the first time. This @carbonbrief.org analysis shows that demand for EVs has grown consistently over the last 12 months. 👉 Read the analysis: www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uk-...

VAR assistant in the Germany - Curacao game is named Fu Ming. I’d also be fuming with VAR coming to football to be honest @footballweekly.bsky.social #ecuger #worldcup

⚠️ We've issued a red warning for extreme heat in parts of the UK tomorrow. It's the first time we've had three consecutive days of red weather warnings for extreme heat in the UK 🌡️ Read our news release ⤵️ bit.ly/4agASz5

Talk to me some more about climate change being a hoax…

@footballweekly.bsky.social Seems like Tuchel found the Ark of the Covenant of English football - The Handbrake. Everyones faces melted down with boredom.

Midsummer’s Eve in Estonia, not to be confused with Midsommar movie though. And/or Midsomer Murders.

Dangerous and potentially historic extreme heat is forecast to impact parts of western Europe this week. We already know that these temperatures are made at least 5x more likely due to human-caused climate change. Stay safe! Explore the attribution data at csi.climatecentral.org/climate-shif...

Extreme heat warnings have been issued for England and Wales this week ⚠️⚠️ Hot and humid weather with exceptionally high temperatures by both day and night could lead to impacts amongst the general population Keep safe in the heat Latest info 👉 bit.ly/WxWarning

Hundreds of weather stations across France have set new temperature records today. This heatwave really is unprecedented & extreme. Astonishing. Chart: @GJauseau

Lovely cumulus congestus south of my countryside and late stage cumulus congestus forming cumulonimbus clouds north of here with thunderous activity.

Anyone really expects a World Cup here in 4 years?

For anyone wondering, this isn’t normal. The record for June set in 1976 will be smashed by several degrees. May end up setting a new all time temperature record, beating the 40.3°C recorded in July 2022.

The overnight ARPEGE has 40°C being reached on Tuesday. If this were to occur (unlikely) it would be beyond the most extreme temperature anomaly in recorded history for the UK. The fact it’s even appearing in models though is insane.

ARPEGE with a casual 39C for Tuesday. *Probably* over cooking things somewhat but for us to potentially be looking at breaking the previous all time UK record in June is insane. Lends further evidence in my opinion that the 40.3C in July 2022 wasn't anywhere near the upper ceiling.

Possibility for the UK to break its June daily maximum temperature record next weekend. Almost exactly 50 years since it was set in 1976. P.S. If you have an invite to our 1976 media event on Monday, it is not to be missed!

As the World Cup begins in the US, Mexico and Canada, @davidgoldblatt.bsky.social writes for Prospect on how it became the great global festival of our age, a carnival of corruption, carbon and, despite everything, hope

Holy sh*t. This is not how Universities should behave.

As #OSTST2026 approaches, here's a look at the international partnerships that underpin the global sea-level record. 🌍📈 [1/2]

This is an absolutely staggering story that ought to be getting more mainstream media attention (but won't, inevitably). Everything about FIFA and the World Cup, seems to be about funnelling money upwards into the pockets of people who don't need it and don't deserve it & away from people who do

Ten cents worth from me www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/north-...

The "most inclusive World Cup ever", update on the update of the update.

Recommended read: Time magazine spoke to London mayor Sadiq Khan about how he “survived the climate culture war”.

Tartu on Eesti meister! Võimas, mega, ja kõik muud sõnad. Need 2.5 aastat mänge käia vaatamas saalis, tasus ära! Aitäh! Võimas!

Beating a 300-year old record by 2°C. That’s bonkers (i.e., statistically near impossible if not for climate change). Strap in…

Temperatures at Teddington Bushy Park have hit 32.8°C, provisionally equalling the all-time May record🌡️ Temperatures will continue to rise through the afternoon, we'll be giving updates here ☀️

Yes, it’s hot. More than 10°C above normal for widespread regions of southern England. istheukhotrightnow.com

Tonight will be a warm and uncomfortable night for sleeping in the south📈 Temperatures may not fall below 20°C in a few spots - this is known as a tropical night, uncommon in mid-summer, let alone May🌴 The highest daily minimum temperature record for May could be broken 🌡️
