More than 300 severe thunderstorm researchers and forecasters this weekend are on their way to the European Conference on Severe Storms #ECSS2025 in Utrecht. My journey now starts with the night train from Vienna. Looking forward to all the new findings and to both the well-known and new faces!

Presented TIM Field Campaign plans at the #ICAM2025 in Poreč / Parenzo this afternoon. Connecting severe storms community with mountain meteorology community can lead to better understanding on both sides. tim-campaign.eu

The TIM field campaign poster at #IMC25 presents the highlights from the TIM White Paper nhess.copernicus.org/articles/25/26… Better understanding why severe thunderstorms are most frequent close to mountain ranges and how they intensify will improve warnings for cities too.

I will miss my friend Charles A. Doswell III. Chuck was an outstanding scientist and inspiring teacher. At the core of his work was the motivation to improve warnings and save lives. He supported the European Severe Storms research and weather sagety community A LOT.
