This Spring (March-April-May) may end up being the driest on record for the UK. This would also make it the driest of any season in a dataset that goes back to 1836. Spring in 1852 currently holds the record for driest season at 100.7 mm averaged across the UK. www.bbc.co.uk/weather/arti...

UK weather: Spring may become driest on record with no rain in sight
There has been a lack of rainfall in many parts of the UK so far this spring and there is little or no rain in the immediate forecast.

Per i nostri follower italiani: la scienziata del PIK @giorgiadc.bsky.social spiega perché non è troppo tardi per stabilizzare il riscaldamento globale. Fino a 2°C le conseguenze sarebbero più o meno prevedibili, ma oltre, ad esempio a 4°C, l’impatto è incerto. www1.wdr.de/radio/cosmo/...

Marine heatwave cause of mass fish deaths and coral bleaching - Oceanographic
A mass fish death in Western Australia has been linked to severe marine heatwaves while coral bleaching intensifies due to climate change.

We have lost 8200 km3 of global glacier ice since 1976. The International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation, led by @wmo-global.bsky.social & @unesconow.bsky.social, aims to raise awareness & advocate action to mitigate the consequences of glacier melt. Find out more: bit.ly/4h55fda

An extremely dangerous and potentially record-breaking bomb cyclone is just hours away from severely impacting Ireland, especially, and the northern parts of the UK. Storm Éowyn will unfortunately reach its peak intensity right at landfall with wind gusts possibly exceeding 200 km/h (124 mph).

Understanding the mechanisms and atmospheric drivers that contribute to hot and dry compound extremes in Europe it’s a challenge that here we tackle with a causal discovery method. Great experience for me personally to work with this talented team of early career scientists
