Italy may need less gas in the future. But could weather matter more? In a recent ICIS analysis by Marta Del Buono, I shared my perspective on Italian gas demand and weather. The shift is not only about volumes. It is also about when the energy system needs flexibility. #EnergyMarkets

Snow in the Alps is also stored energy. I spoke with Montel about Italy’s hydropower outlook and why weak snow accumulation this winter, combined with another hot and dry summer, could carry consequences into 2027. Weather and energy operate on very different timescales.

Saipem’s new project off Angola reaches water depths of 1,750m. But the weather affecting operations can begin thousands of kilometres away: South Atlantic storms can send long-period swell towards Angola days later. Offshore weather is rarely just local. #Offshore #WeatherIntelligence

Almost a year since my TEDx BilancinoLake talk, “Dove finisce il cielo e cominciamo noi.” Weather, climate, and how what happens above our heads shapes the decisions we make every day. The talk is in Italian — link below. #TEDx #Weather #Climate

When a supercell turns noon into dusk in minutes, regional solar vanishes and wind shuts down on gust limits just as building lights flip on. In 15-minute power markets, managing that imbalance comes down to radar nowcasting. Discussed with Alfredo Spalla on Montel News

"It's no longer rain, it's a bullet." Supercells cut solar output to zero in 15 mins, while markets plan on 24h. Discussed EU storm risks on Montel News: montelnews.com/news/32218a0...

Western Europe recorded its warmest summer ever. As I discussed with Montel today, grids face a compound risk: cooling demand spikes just as drought hits hydro and cooling-water generation. Solar carries midday, but from Romania’s Danube lows to Greece’s evening ramps, weather risk is now grid risk.

On stage at TIF Thessaloniki today. Data doesn't stop damage — pre-agreed decisions do. We can see severe weather days ahead. The real bottleneck is whether the operational rule was written before the alarm rings. Find #Weathernews at Pavilion 13, J01!

A "very strong" El Niño is confirmed through early 2027. For offshore wind, the battleground is Europe. In the North Sea, wave heights threaten CTV/SOV access windows despite high wind. In the Med, record sea temps act as fuel for rapid squalls. #OffshoreWind

WMO confirmed a "very strong" El Niño persisting into 2027. Traders are betting on a mild winter, but don't overlook hydrology. Warm Atlantic storms mean rain instead of snowpack at mid-altitudes: fast winter runoff, dry reservoirs by spring. Detailed market briefing next week. #ElNino #Energy

We're pretty good at seeing disasters coming. We're still bad at acting on it in time. That's what I'll be talking about this Sunday on a Weathernews & JTI panel in Thessaloniki, right after my colleague Teppei presents the wildfire science. Japan Pavilion, TIF 2026, 10:30. Open to everyone.

A wildfire near Athens was traced to a short circuit — in a wind farm's own grid connection. The infrastructure for clean power became the spark. Wildfire risk in Greece is now a grid question. At TIF Thessaloniki next month — Pavilion 13, J01. Let's talk.

Il Po ai minimi storici, un terzo delle centrali termoelettriche italiane in derating per l'acqua troppo calda. Pure la Francia nucleare in difficoltà. Prezzo luce: 207€/MWh. Non è un'anomalia — è la 4ª crisi idro-termica in 5 anni. #Siccità #Energia #ClimateChange

Europe is burning. Heatwaves aren’t just climate stories anymore—they’re energy stories. Rising demand, stressed grids, lower generation efficiency and growing wildfire risk are all connected. The real challenge isn’t predicting the weather. It’s preparing for its consequences.

Ignite 2026 is over. I can’t share what was discussed, but I can share what makes it work: mutual trust, mutual respect and high commitment. Thank you to all my colleagues across Weathernews. Weather brought us together. The team makes the difference. #Ignite2026

Si parla sempre più di un possibile Super El Niño nel 2026. Ma cos’è davvero? In questo breve video spiego come il riscaldamento anomalo del Pacifico tropicale possa influenzare il clima globale e perché gli esperti lo stanno monitorando con attenzione. #ElNino #Clima #Meteorologia #ENSO

🌎 Super El Niño 2026: global models increasingly point to a potentially very strong El Niño in H2 2026. For Europe, the biggest risks may be indirect: LNG markets, hydro generation, commodity prices and supply chains. The climate signal is strengthening. #ElNino #EnergyMarkets

Il problema della disinformazione climatica non è soltanto la diffusione di notizie false. È la crescente difficoltà nel distinguere ciò che è vero da ciò che non lo è. Il clima oggi non è solo una questione ambientale. È una questione di resilienza, sicurezza e fiducia. #ClimateChange

A few moments from Athens last week Very interesting discussions around energy markets, renewables, weather and operational challenges across Europe. And honestly… great people and great atmosphere. #Energy #Networking #Athens #Renewables #Weathernews

Back from X Energy Exchanges in Athens 🇬🇷 Great event, excellent networking, and a fantastic atmosphere. Congratulations to Ioannis Psarros and the team 👏 Thanks again for the invitation, also on behalf of Weathernews Inc. #Energy #Athens

WindEurope this year felt different. Intense days, lots of clients, real opportunities. The message is clear: it’s not about more data, but better decisions. Climate & resilience are becoming central. Great momentum — now time to follow up.

Snow is back in Abruzzo… in April. Cold air from the north meets milder Mediterranean air right over this area. Energy builds up → intense snow and strong winds. Not unheard of, but events like this are becoming more frequent and more intense, likely linked to climate change.

Ciro Borrelli @ciroborrelli.bsky.social · 02/04/2026
Abruzzo, Italy: over 2m of snow in April. Not impossible — but this intense, this persistent, with flooding below? That’s different. Weather isn’t just forecast anymore. It’s risk to manage

We don’t have a climate information problem. We have a climate simplification problem. Platforms like TikTok amplify emotional, polarised content. Great for engagement. Risky for understanding. The challenge isn’t to simplify, but to translate complexity without betraying it.

At Key Energy in Rimini, one of Europe’s main events for the energy transition. Strong focus this year on renewables, resilience and energy independence. Policy, industry and technology all in the same room — exactly where the future of energy is being shaped. #KeyEnergy #EnergyTransition
