...und mitunter gerne auch bei Nebel-, Hochnebel- oder Gewitterlagen 😅

Interessanter Beitrag! Bei der Passage "In Deutschland und Europa liegt der Rekord bei 335 Kilometer pro Stunde und wurde am 12. Juni 1985 auf der Zugspitze verzeichnet." frage ich mich jedoch, ob der Wert - angesichts der Wetterlage an jenem Tag in Süddeutschland - realistisch ist.

Weather satellites were able to see the Artemis II launch and re-entry.

Space is cool, satellites are cool. It's all cool!!!

Our W/ctrl European convective season is slowly getting underway again. Some thunderstorms are possible later today across the Benelux and surrounding areas in a marginally unstable air mass ahead of the frontal passage/cool change. #weather

#Artemis II - We have the first image from yesterdays Lunar flyby captured by the crew on Orion

EARTHSET.
April 6, 2026.

Humanity, from the other side. First photo from the far side of the Moon. Captured from Orion as Earth dips beyond the lunar horizon.

That's home. That's us.

This image of home just came down from the Artemis II crew.

Taken after their translunar injection burn, there are aurorae at top right and lower left, and zodiacal light at lower right.

The Canary Islands enveloped in dust as waves and vortices swirl off of them.

A fascinating, complex view.

Da kann man glatt neidisch werden 😉

From NZ to be precise, yes 😉

Winter hasn't finished yet! There's fresh snow across the nearby Eifel and Ardennes hills this morning as a cold and unstable NW flow has arrived across W and central Europe. 12cm currently at Mont-Rigi in the High Fens, Belgium. #weather

The word “unprecedented” gets thrown around a lot these days to describe the ongoing heatwave across the Western U.S., and let’s be honest — it’s absolutely justified. Perhaps the most impressive multi-day event since the 2021 PNW heat dome.

Danke! Ja, sind tolle Landschaften dort.

New Zealand's green and rugged west coast near Punakaiki, South Island #landscapephotography #PhotoHour

In Phoenix, Arizona, temperatures could reach an unbelievable 107°F (+42°C) on Friday. If that verifies, it would break the record for the earliest occurrence of 107°F since records began in 1895, pulverising the previous record by a whopping 44 days.

This is totally bonkers.

Map, from polarwx.com, of ECMWF model's forecast for 500mb heights later this week and their rank relative to the historical record for March over North America. A giant pink blob is visible over western North America, indicating an absurdly large area of record-breaking 500mb GPH.

The seasonal anomalousness, as well sheer spatial extent, of upcoming record-shattering Western U.S. heatwave is genuinely startling. This will be associated with, by far, the strongest ridge ever observed during (at least) any Nov-Mar month. #CAwx #AZwx #NMwx #NVwx #UTwx #COwx

Grazalema, Spain, received over 2,000 mm (78 inches) of rain in just the last 20 days.

Over a year’s worth of rain — and it’s only early February. This is hydrologically absurd.

Time series of annual minima sea level at the Föglö tide gauge in 1924–2026. The value in 2026 is the lowest on record.

New all-time minimum sea level in the Baltic Sea!

The Föglö tide gauge measured just -71.6 cm below the mean level which is the lowest value ever recorded there. Records have been kept over 100 years, since 1924 (!).

The sea level is still decreasing. (1/3)

Massive smoke plumes from a large bushfire near Gellibrand, Victoria, yesterday which prompted emergency warnings in the area. The fire even produced a towering pyrocumulus and pileus cloud as the hot updraft pushed through stable layers in the mid-levels. #fireweather #stormhour

A spell of extreme heat and fire danger is on the cards across SE Australia.
We’ve been through 48C heat in the W Pilbara on 5 January, wasn’t fun 😅
Sth I noticed here: the visibility of information on natural hazards on many platforms, whether it’s cyclones, floods or fires. #weatherawareness

Landed in London. There was a CRAZY aurora outside on the flight over, I've never seen anything like it! Absolutely surreal...

Beautiful!

As the climate data for 2025 continues to be released, it's time to update various data visualisations.

First - the global climate stripes for 1850-2025. A third darkest red stripe is added.

The last 11 years have been the warmest 11 years on record. A sequence that is unlikely to be broken soon.

Is damaging hail getting worse? An ESSL-led study published in Nature Geoscience finds that very large hail is modelled to occur most frequently in South America, the United States, and South Africa, but Europe shows the strongest increase in very large hail frequency. doi.org/10.1038/s415...
