Ocean surface temperature back at 21 degrees according to @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social Climate Pulse. Record high temperatures in the Pacific Ocean will be interesting to watch over the coming months 🌊🌡️🧪⚒️
And the WWA analysis suggests a ~10% increase in intensity from anthropogenic climate change although they highlight strong regional differences

Great question @kencaldeira.com, we’ve not done a specific climate attribution study, however, this graphic from AR6 highlights heavy rain increase with high confidence for Europe
Scheduling issue, now sorted
Thanks for spotting @peterdutoit.com, I'll check the issue
Anomalies and extremes in the number of ‘wet days’ (days with at least 1 mm of precipitation) from 1 January to 20 February 2026. The extreme categories (‘highest' and ‘lowest') are based on rankings for 1979–2026. The other categories describe how the number of ‘wet days’ compares to the distribution during the 1991–2020 reference period. ‘Much higher/lower than average’ - higher/lower than 90% of the number ‘wet days’. ‘Higher/lower than average’ - than 66% of values. ‘Near average’ - within the middle 33%.

During February 2026, Europe yet again saw the growing impacts of climate change.
🌧️ A series of atmospheric rivers, together with a south-shifted jet stream led to heavy-to-extreme precipitation, triggering widespread flooding and landslides, particularly across Iberia and western France.

The extreme events of February 2026 highlight the growing impacts of #climate change and the pressing need for global action.
🌡️ Global temperatures were 1.49°C above pre-industrial levels, for the 5th warmest February

January 2026 delivered a stark reminder that the climate system can simultaneously deliver very cold weather in one region & extreme heat in another.
These recent events highlight that resilience & adaptation to increasing extremes are key to prepare society for heightened climate risk.
Delighted that this paper is now out for open review. Thanks to @peterthorne.bsky.social for his leadership on this critical topic and bringing the community together

Sure, it should be available on our website under press resources
Mountains of change in our #climate. Climate change is a risk multiplier and impacts every single person on our planet.

2025 global climate highlights are out:
🌡️ 2025 was 3rd warmest year on record, 1.47ºC above the preindustrial level
📈 2023-2025 is the first three year period above 1.5ºC (according to ERA5)
🌍 The last 11 years have been the warmest 11 years on record

Monthly global surface air temperature anomalies (°C) relative to the 1850–1900 pre-industrial reference period from January 1940 to November 2025, plotted as time series for each year. The year 2025 as well as the two warmest calendar years are shown in colour: 2025 in dark red, 2024 in orange, and 2023 in yellow. All other years are shown with thin grey lines. Data source: ERA5.

The latest #climate update from Copernicus shows that 2025 is on course to be:
- joint 2nd warmest year, tied with 2023 and behind 2024 (warmest year)
- November 2025 was the 3rd warmest November globally

Latest bulletin from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social shows:
October 2025 was the third-warmest October globally, 2025 on track to place second or third, possible tied with 2023, and behind 2024, the warmest year on record

Latest #Climate data shows a podium finish for 2025
We are in the decade where the 1.5°C limit is likely to be exceeded, highlighting the accelerating pace of climate change
Average global temperature for 2023–2025 is likely to exceed 1.5°C, the first three-year average to do so 🌡️🌏🧪⚒️
Another fantastic #dataviz for the cover of the latest @unep.org #Emissions Gap Report
Off Target:
- only 1/3 of countries submitted updated NDCs
- We are likely to exceed 1.5ºC this decade
- analysis of limiting overshoot to 1.8ºC
Global map showing surface air temperature trends for each November period from 1975 to 2024. Only land areas are shown. Red shading is shown for warmer temperature trends, and blue shading is shown for colder temperature trends. Data is from NOAA/NESDIS/NCEI NOAAGlobalTempv6.0.0. The temperature trend scale is from -0.5°C/decade to +0.5°C/decade. Most areas are warming, though there is some spatial variability.

The @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social climate monitoring application #Climate Pulse has been updated. Same climate monitoring data with new features and better layout. 🌏🌊⚒️🧪
User feedback always welcome so let us know what you would like to see updated in the next version:
pulse.climate.copernicus.eu
ClimatePulse has been updated!
Still with @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social #ERA5 and two days behind real time. New layout, with better maps, easier to display different regions and compare different years data.
Let us know if you have feedback for future updates 🌏🌊⚒️🧪🌡️

Might be a Ramaria sp - but I’m not an expert
New @eea.europa.eu report on #environment and #climate
is a shocking read ...
🍃 EU’s “carbon sink” has declined by 30% in a decade as logging, wildfires and pests damage forests
💧 Water stress already affects one in three Europeans
🦡 > 80% of protected habitats are in poor/bad state

Dreadful! Although I was tempted to pick some oyster mushrooms that looked identical to the supermarket variety
