As we continue to burn fossil fuels, pumping #CO2 into the atmosphere, the planet continues to warm, causing myriad changes in weather patterns and the overall #climate. So what was #ClimateChange’s role with #HurricaneMelissa? @climatecentral.org www.theweathernetwork.com/en/news/clim...

Ahead of this month's COP30 summit in Brazil, billionaire investor Bill Gates is advising world leaders that global warming "will not lead to humanity’s demise." Is he right?

🎽This Sunday, Nov 2, 1000s of people will run the NYC Marathon! And the right temperature at race time could mean the difference between hitting that PB or not. Unfortunately, as temperatures rise, optimal conditions in NYC will become less likely. 1/2 www.climatecentral.org/report/marat...

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️🏃Running out of Cool Days... Researchers have found there is a “sweet spot” for marathon temperatures where runners perform their best. But as the planet warms, those optimal race-day conditions are becoming less likely. ⤵️ www.youtube.com/shorts/h_FPR...

#Melissa became a record storm by devouring ocean heat made unusually warm by heat-trapping pollution. • Monday: Above-average Caribbean waters were 600x more likely this hot from human-caused warming. • By Tuesday: It mixed up deeper, cooler water, closer to what is typical in late-October.

We know there's an ideal temp for running marathons, however... as the planet warms due to #climatechange, those optimal race-day conditions will become less likely. Explore how specific races are impacted with @climatecentral.org's new interactive tool. 👉 app.climatecentral.org/dataviz/mara...

👟🎽New! When it comes to running marathons, there is a “sweet spot” for temperatures that support runners in achieving their best performance. Warming temperatures because of climate change are making those optimal race-day conditions increasingly rare. 1/2 www.climatecentral.org/report/marat...

Since becoming a Cat 5, #Melissa has continued strengthening up to 185mph as it slowly drifted toward landfall in Southwest Jamaica. The storm has been drawing on late-October Caribbean waters up to 2.2°F (1.2°C) above average—warmth made up to 900x more likely by human-caused climate change.

To understand the climate connection to Hurricane Melissa, check out our real-time attribution page at @climatecentral.org: www.climatecentral.org/tropical-cyc... "Climate change made the ocean temperatures along Melissa's path 500 to 900 times more likely."

Hurricane #Melissa explosively intensified into a Category 5 storm over exceptionally warm Caribbean waters. Here's how climate change amplified this dangerous hurricane—from its rapid strengthening to the catastrophic rainfall ahead ⤵️ youtube.com/shorts/VtbZZ...

As of the 2pm ET update, #Melissa is a Cat. 5 hurricane with 175mph winds. The National Hurricane Center warns "life-threatening flash flooding...catastrophic winds..damaging storm surge" as Jamaica prepares. 🧵Here's how excessive Caribbean warmth has boosted the impacts of this storm:

Rapid intensification is not new, but now happens much faster & more often. @climatecentral.org data shows #Melissa is strengthening over oceans 2.5°F warmer than normal, made 500-700x more likely by climate change!! Let that sink in. More strengthening is still possible.

Hurricane Melissa has rapidly intensified into a category 4 hurricane. Melissa is tracking over sea surface temperatures that are 1.4C above average and according to the @climatecentral.org CSI Ocean tool these have been made up to 500-700 times more likely by human caused climate change.

#Melissa rocketed to Category 4 strength overnight — gaining 70 mph in just 24 hours over unusually warm Caribbean waters made 600–700x more likely by climate change. It’s the 4th storm this season to undergo Extreme Rapid Intensification. (#Erin, #Gabrielle, #Humberto)

#Melissa is starting to rapidly intensify (RI) in the Caribbean as it amps into an expected Cat 5 hurricane by (latest) Monday. While there have been others to do it, a hurricane undergoing RI in October is relatively uncommon.

🌡️It's looking hot this weekend through early next week across northern Australia. 🔴Climate Shift Index shows this unusual October heat is made at least 3 to 5 times more likely by human-caused climate change www.climatecentral.org/climate-shif...

🎂 Congratulations on 75 incredibly important years @wmo-global.bsky.social ! Looking forward to another 75 years of your global leadership.

Tropical Storm Warnings are in effect for Haiti & Jamaica as #Melissa is set to intensify into a major hurricane over the coming days. Per the National Hurricane Center, "life-threatening flooding is expected for Hispaniola & Jamaica through the weekend." Quick🧵for the climate connection🔽

Today, the U.S. faces one billion+ dollar climate/weather disaster on average every 2w. That's a massive increase from one every 4m in the 1980s. This is 'global weirding' and people are taking notice! The government told NOAA to stop tracking these events: but @climatecentral.org is on the job.

#Melissa continues to crawl across climate-driven ocean warmth in the Caribbean. 🌡️Mid-80° ocean temperatures running 2°-2.5°F WARMER than average in late October. 🔴Unusual warmth (that can boost intensity) made at least 600x more likely due to climate change. 🧵/1

#Melissa will be officially named this AM by the National Hurricane Center Questions remain about its path, but one thing is certain: the storm will drift over unusually warm late-October waters—warmth made 600-700x more likely by climate change. This directly influences intensity & rainfall.

Eyes are on the Caribbean this week as #98L is expected to come to life. Stronger trade winds are keeping this system from development for now, but it shouldn't be long before lighter winds allow a closed low to form. Let's talk about a few key climate change connections🧵

A dry, cool airmass is spilling across Colorado’s Front Range with the season’s first big cold front. 💨 Gusts up to 45 mph and humidity in the teens are creating critical wildfire weather Monday...a reminder that fall fronts can bring both relief and new fire risks.

Global heat extremes are testing our limits. A new Climate Central & @wwattribution.bsky.social study shows how even small temperature increases have made deadly heatwaves more intense and frequent. The Paris Agreement has helped hold back the worst—but there’s still work to do. 🧵

Typhoon #Halong peaked as a Cat 4 storm Oct 8 before re-strengthening over the North Pacific Unusually warm ocean waters + upper-level low gave its remnants new life, causing life-changing impacts for coastal Alaska More @climateconnections.bsky.social ▶️ yaleclimateconnections.org/2025/10/nati...

Good news... According to a new study from @wwattribution.bsky.social & Climate Central, the Paris Agreement could help the world avoid ♨️57 hot days per year♨️ if countries follow through on their emission-cutting plans and limit warming this century to 2.6°C. 🧵/1

A new report from @climatecentral.org and @wwattribution.bsky.social shows current emission pledges miss Paris Agreement goals — setting us up for 2x more hot days by 2100. But without the Paris Agreement, it’d be 3x more days — a far riskier, hotter future. www.climatecentral.org/climate-matt...

10yrs after the Paris Agreement, a new study from Climate Central and @wwattribution.bsky.social found that it could help Earth avoid some of the worst outcomes of climate change. But w/o stronger planning/commitments, future gens still face dangerous heat. www.climatecentral.org/report/10th-...

Cool season - as defined by sub-70 degree AMs - is shrinking in the Tampa Bay Area. We now have ~2 months less of AMs below 70F than we did decades ago! Due both to greenhouse warming and, in cities, urban heat island. That's today's Berardelli Bonus. Tks @climatecentral.org for the GFX help!

As of October 7th, 73% of the U.S. is considered (at least) "abnormally dry." Climate change doesn't just turn up the heat—it makes the atmosphere greedier, too. 🏜️Let's talk about the link of how we went from a "summer of flooding" to dry, dusty conditions ⤵️ www.youtube.com/shorts/r28rT...

While much of the U.S. is feeling the breath of fall, Texas is still stuck in the doldrums of summer. 🌡️Highs 10°–15° above average Tuesday mean more 90s in mid-October Sweaty heat that has steadily become the norm in October due to human-caused climate change
