🧊➡️💧We're losing ice on both poles, while mountain's glaciers are retreating, too.📉

One may think the north pole (90°N) would be ice covered year around. 🧊

That indeed used to be the case. Currently, with a sea ice concentration far below 100%, even right at the pole, the sea ice is disintegrating.

As the atmosphere warms, the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere increases.🫧📈

Today's #ClimateFigureOfTheDay, created by @EliotJacobson, shows: total amount of water vapor in our atmosphere is now at the highest levels on record.

If you feel like rainfall intensity has increased; you're right.

AGW deniers like to make you believe that it was much warmer in the 1930s than it is today.

🌡️Let us share the max summer temps for the last decade, compared to the 1930s.👇🏼

The majority of the globe sees (much) higher summer maximum temps today.📈

If the current global sea level trends of +4.3 mm (0.16 inch)/y with an acceleration of +0.11 mm/y would continue, the sea level would rise:
- 70 cm (27 inch) by 2100
- 1.5 m (60 inch) by 2150
- 11 m (433 inch) in 400 years

🚨Longyearbyen, Svalbard (78°N), just broke its August temperature record.

🌡️The temperature just rose to 19.2°C!🌡️

The previous August record of 18.1°C in 1997 is shattered.
Temp still rising, will we see 20°C today?

Climate change is not only seen by a rising global temperature.
Loads of #ClimateIndicators show that our climate is changing rapidly.

📈Ocean heat capacity is increasing
🌊Sea levels are rising
📉Sea ice is melting

Today's #ClimateFigureOfTheDay shows the trend of some climate indicators over time.

🌡️Following yesterday's #ClimateFigureOfTheDay, this is what July 2024 looked like globally and in Europe specifically.

This map shows temperature anomalies relative to 1991-2020 climatology.

🔴The majority of the Earth was warmer than normal. Especially the heatwave in Antarctica stands out.
🧵(1/2)

July 2024 global temperature in ERA5:
- 16.91°C;
- 0.68°C above 1991-2020 average
- 0.04°C below previous record (July 2023).

Today's #ClimateFigureOfTheDay is twofold - global temperature anomalies for July:

- from the start of the dataset (1940)
- Since 1970 (warming of about 0.2°C per decade)

Globally, the first half of 2024 was abnormally warm. Consequently, there's a 95% chance that 2024 will surpass last year as the warmest on record. 🌡️

Today's #ClimateFigureOfTheDay: global daily temperatures for each day of the year, since 1940.

A warmer atmosphere holds more water vapor.

Today's #ClimateFigureOfTheDay shows the amount of water in the atmospheric column, which has been rising substantially over the last few decades. 📈

The warmest years strongly correlate with high amounts of water availability in the atmosphere.

Feeling like #winter yet?❄️

Our #ClimateFigureOfTheDay is showing days with snow cover in Helsinki.

Nowadays, we have approximately 40 fewer snow-covered days than since the start of the measurements.📉

Arctic Sea ice extent is the 3rd lowest on record for the time of year, currently even below the trajectory of record low year 2012.🧊

🧵July in Longyearbyen is expected to average 8.3°C, making it the 6th warmest on record.

Svalbard is warming at nearly 0.6°C/decade since the mid-1970s. The top 10 warmest Julys contains 7 years after 2010.

Top 3: 2023, 2020, 2022.

Europe's glaciers are shrinking.📉

The Alps' glaciers are disappearing the fastest.

Today's #ClimateFigureOfTheDay shows the cumulative mass change in water equivalent (w.e.) since 1997.

The #glaciers have lost 8 to 25 m w.e. of mass, with the rate of loss accelerating.

#GlobalWarming #Glacier

Worldwide, glaciers are retreating due to a negative mass balance. 📉

📊 Today's #ClimateFigureOfTheDay shows the annual mass balance of >50 reference glaciers globally. In the last 70 years, only 5 years had a positive mass balance. Glaciers shrink faster due to global warming.

#Glaciers

Sea levels are rising, and sea level rise is accelerating. 🌊📈

The global sea level is rising about 1.5x faster in the latest decade compared to the first decade of satellite altimetry.

"It's called summer" - yes, but your summers are not what they used to be.

📊Today's #ClimateFigureOfTheDay shows the number of days with maximum temperatures of 28°C or higher in the UK.

As the figure shows, hot days have become more common over the last decades.📈

Global sea ice surface area is at the lowest levels for the time of year since the start of the measurements.

June averaged 4.2°C on Svalbard; above the (already substantially warmed) climatological norm (1991-2020) of 3.6°C.

📈Our #ClimateFigureOfTheDay shows June on Svalbard has warmed ~0.13°C/decade since the start of the measurements, and more than 0.5°C/decade since the 1970s.

🌡️High temperatures, such as last week's, are becoming more common.

Today's #ClimateFigureOfTheDay shows the change in temperature distribution at the Helsinki-Vantaa Airport.

Warm days are getting both warmer, and more common. Colder days are becoming less frequent.

#GlobalWarming #ClimateChange

Today's #ClimateFigureOfTheDay shows a year of temperature anomalies.

Lots more red than blue on this chart, meaning that the temperatures last year were above the 1991-2020 climatological average.

Specifically the northernmost regions show extremely high anomalies. #GlobalWarming #ClimateChange

Today is #ShowYourStripes day.

Evidently, this will be our #ClimateFigureOfTheDay. I will share stripes from the 3 locations where I have spent most time in my life.

First, my homecountry, The Netherlands:

#ClimateChange
(1/4)

🌡️Globally, May 2024 was the warmest May on record, marking the 12th consecutive record value for the corresponding month.

The global average temp for May was 0.65°C above the 1991–2020 average and 1.52°C above pre-industrial. 📈

📊 #ClimateFigureOfTheDay #ClimateChange

🌡️Spring was the warmest on record in the Netherlands, with an average temperature of 11.8°C - well above the 1991-2020 climatological norm of 9.9°C, and just above the 11.7°C set in 2007.

Today's #ClimateFigureOfTheDay shows: spring temperatures in the Netherlands are on the rise.
