Hitzewelle Ende Mai - nein, ist nicht geiles Wetter und auch nicht normal. Hitze ist ein Killer! #Klimakatastrophe

Esta semana en #GeocienciasEnElCole David Barriopedro y Víctor López nos hablan de domos de calor www.igeo.ucm-csic.es/cultura-cien...

‼️ En unos días los mares Cantábrico y Mediterráneo tendrán anomalías térmicas excepcionales 🌡️🌊 de hasta +6 ºC.

In response to recent misinformation about the use of scenarios in IPCC reports: the IPCC does not conduct its own research, run models or make measurements. The IPCC’s role is to assess the available scientific, peer-reviewed literature relevant to climate change: www.ipcc.ch/2026/05/20/i...

Looks like the UK heatwave will be killed by thunderstorms. Emerging research, from our group and others, suggests the threshold for triggering convection (i.e., thunderstorms) may increase in a warming climate, potentially enabling very hot days to warm more rapidly.

Exceptional temperatures require exceptional atmospheric circulation. The intensity of the 500-hPa ridge ("heat dome") driving the present heatwave in western Europe is distinctly outside the monthly climatology for May.

Europe's weather in motion for past 12 hours. The heat machine in action...

Burning fossil fuels has made this heatwave hotter. True for the UK today, and everywhere else, all of the time.

If you're a reviewer or an editor for a scientific journal, I urge you to not hop on the "RCP8.5 is dead" train. There are now editors that reject RCP8.5 but are ok with 1pctCO2. 🤯 Both are what-if scenarios, useful to science. Don't let politics influence what we can research and publish! 1/3

In a time of overlapping crises, new research shows that we need two things at once: ⚡ the ability to adapt to shocks 🍃 the ability to change the systems causing them.

Even if future habitats remain suitable, many species may never reach them. A new study finds that under >4°C warming, ~78% of Earth’s land could lose the connectivity needed for wildlife migration by 2061–2080, increasing risks of isolation and biodiversity loss. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

💸 We are hiring! What are the true costs of #climate extremes? At #CLICCS @uni-hamburg.de, we’re looking for a Research Associate for the project “Cost and consequences of climate extremes” Start: 1 Aug 2026 | Deadline: 31 May 2026 Apply: lnkd.in/e-VBSmaz

Another beautiful #EGU. See you all back in the next!

Beyond GDP other indicators like biodiversity, emissions, wealth inequality matter for defining sustainability and equity. Worth a read and indicators helpful at many scales. unctad.org/publication/...

Where is most susceptible to record breaking humid heat? 🥵🌡️🔥 Today at #EGU26, @regclimo.bsky.social will tell you, room 2.24 from 1400. @drlaurasuarez.bsky.social @karinvdwiel.bsky.social Paper: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Join us at the #EMS26, the European Meteorological Society meeting this September in Utrecht for our session on high-impact extremes! 📍 UP3.7. High-impact climate extremes: physical understanding, storylines, impacts and projections lnkd.in/efWVVCYX Abstract submission deadline is 27th of March.

New study shows #constraining projections using best-performing climate models, #uncertainties in future #temperature variability can be narrowed, yet remain large over poorly modelled regions, highlighting the need for #MultipleModelEnsembles to assess future risks. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Record-breaking humidity is on the rise, but it’s understudied relative to dry heat. New research takes a look. eos.org/research-spo...

What do we talk about when we talk about unprecedentedness? Without a clear baseline, understanding & preparedness for climate extremes may be out of whack. We sought to improve this for humid heat in our new paper out now in @aguadvances.bsky.social: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...

Heat & very dry air that used to be rare, now very common in Spain & Portugal, putting huge strain on EU firefighting resources - at 1.3C global warming. Every additional ton of fossil fuels burnt will make European summers even more deadly & dangerous www.worldweatherattribution.org/extreme-fire...

#Wildfires in Spain have reached record emissions in just one week according to our #CopernicusAtmosphere data. Heatwaves & drought are fueling fires, forcing evacuations & worsening air quality hundreds of km away. 🔥 Read the article for details atmosphere.copernicus.eu/spain-below-...

Europe's current climate could produce a 'mega heatwave', feat. more than a month of +40C temps & intense drought Extra scary fact: The worst-case heatwaves occur predominantly after another extreme heatwave. In other words, rolling waves of deadly heat www.newscientist.com/article/2491...

Happening today! #EGU25

Transdisciplinary coordination is essential for advancing agricultural modelling with machine learning. The opportunities are great, but to avoid pitfalls, we need to establish benchmarks, evaluation criteria and best practices. Our perspective: www.cell.com/one-earth/fu... @cp-oneearth.bsky.social

#EGU25 is about to start! If you're there, check out our session on High-impact Climate Extremes on Tuesday, room 🟨 F1 🧪: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/sessio... With many exciting talks, including the CL Division Outstanding ECS Award Lecture by @kornhuber.bsky.social

1/ How to Stop Being Surprised by Unprecedented Weather Our new @naturecomms.bsky.social paper provides our multi-author perspective on methods to anticipate extreme weather and reduce impacts, shifting from reacting with surprise towards resilience. 🔗 Read it here: doi.org/10.1038/s414... 🧵⬇️

It's hard to comprehend the scale at which supertrawlers are murdering life in the oceans.

How to stop being surprised by unprecedented weather Kelder et al. discusses a multitude of ways that we could anticipate unprecedented weather events that might otherwise be a surprise rdcu.be/ecWQF

We have seen many record-shattering and unprecedented weather extremes in recent years. In the paper led by @timokelder.bsky.social we review methods on how to stop being surprised by the next one.

We have described and made available through Nature Scientific Data our global high resolution bias corrected CMIP6 derived wet-bulb and wet-bulb globe temperature data and codes. This is currently the most accurate formulation of these metrics available. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

For extreme heat, each year seems to bring fresh examples of precedents being surpassed — in heat severity, but also in understanding of its physics and risks. A group of us led by Tom Matthews and Radley Horton have assembled a review of this knowledge whirlwind: www.nature.com/articles/s43...

physics of climate impacts 101: - Stuff gets hot (worse heatwaves) - Hot air holds more water vapor (heavier rainfall) - Hot air is thirstier air (higher drought risk) - Warm water is hurricane food (stronger storms) - Hot water expands and hot ice melts (sea level rise)
