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.

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

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 https://atmosphere.copernicus.eu/spain-below-average-record-wildfire-emissions-just-one-week

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

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
Heading to #EGU25? Curious about how climate change boosted Valencia's floods in October 2024?
Don't miss our talk next Tuesday, April 29, at 09:45 AM in Session CL3.2.4 in Room F1! 🌍📢 #ClimateChange #StormDynamics
Time series of daily mean temperatures averaged for each EGU General Assembly (2005-2024). Data: ERA5
What better way to prepare for #EGU25 than to calculate the mean temperature in Vienna during the conference for each year since the @egu.eu was established 🤓📈 Considering the current weather forecast for next week, this edition we might have a record year 🌡️

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.

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)
