A map of the UK showing Pershore in Worcestershire with a temperature of 20.9°C - the joint highest temperature of 2026 so far

Pershore reached 20.9°C this afternoon, matching the temperature recorded in Gogerddan, Dyfed on 18 March and thus making today the joint warmest day of 2026 so far 🌡️

Are you saying you have capacity? 😂

Rise of the shrubs: what happened when scientists heated a Rocky Mountain wildlife meadow by 2C? A long-running experiment in Colorado provides an ‘alarming’ view of how rapidly unchecked global heating could transform fragile ecosystems

update on the experiment my colleague John Harte started almost 30 years ago

Very cool… also loving “The Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory is in the former ghost town of Gothic, abandoned after the closure of its silver mines”. Extremely jealous of this stuff!

The future of Europe’s forest disturbance regimes– a thread.

Tl, dr: Disturbances from wildfire, bark beetles & wind will continue to increase in the coming decades. Under unabated climate change disturbances could more than double by 2100.

Intense heatwaves directly threaten crops and native species. Here’s what we can do Sustained extreme heat can damage, weaken and kill all living things, from wheat crops to koalas and fruit bats.

Extreme heat is fast becoming one of the biggest threats to global food systems. Our new piece in The Conversation looks at how intense heatwaves put crops and native species at risk — and what we can actually do about it.
