Exceptional Mediterranean water temperatures in June reduced nighttime air cooling along the coasts & increased humidity, worsening heat stress impacts - some coastal areas saw 10-15 tropical nights (when the temperature doesn’t drop below 20°C) last month, when they’d typically see none in June 🥵☀️🌙
A map of Europe with the sea coloured based on the sea surface temperature anomalies on 30 June 2025. Annotations mention that most of the Mediterranean basin experienced temperatures well above average, and temperatures exceeded 28°C, more than 5°C above average, in the Gulf of Lion and Ligurian Sea. A line chart of daily sea surface temperature anomalies in ERA5 from 1979 to 2025 in the western Mediterranean, showing the record-breaking anomalies in June 2025 and highlighting the previous highest anomaly in July 2023.

On day 2 of #Outlier2025, we explored what it means to build trust in visualizations, challenge assumptions, and widen our lens on what counts as data, who it's for, and how it's shared. Let’s keep the momentum going. See you on day 3!
Yes, precision is important, but transparency is where the trust is going to come back.One of the first questions we ask when crafting a data story is how to make the data meaningful for those most impacted by it, especially when it involves the local communities we serve.There's no such thing as an ugly sketch. There are only sketches that help you think, sketches that help you communicate, and sketches that you do for fun.
