Help track #Wildfire smoke in Ireland through Cloud Observations in the GLOBE Observer app & website. As wildfires burn all over Europe and across the planet, stay informed - no fireworks, bonfires, BBQs or cigarettes near forests, grasslands or bogs. @epaireland.bsky.social @antaisce.bsky.social

Not all surfaces were created equal when it comes to heat absorption! A snapshot of #SurfaceTemperatures around #Dublin during the recent hot spell. Another point in favour of more urban greenspaces! @epaireland.bsky.social @antaisce.bsky.social #GreenUp #UrbanGreenspaces #HeatWave

What covers the ground around us has a big effect on how hot the air feels! Surface temps taken around Dublin show how important trees and green spaces are in our urban centers. The best way to beat the heat? Plant more urban trees! @antaisce.bsky.social @epaireland.bsky.social #HeatWave #Dublin

Our #SurfaceTemperature Detectives collected some surprising data last week! Can you believe a surface in Dublin was 50°C?! That's the #HeatWave & the #UrbanHeatIslandEffect at play. The best way to counteract is by increasing urban trees & greenspaces. @epaireland.bsky.social @antaisce.bsky.social

That wraps up another year of the GLOBE Ireland River Ecosystem campaign! Schools around Ireland collected ecological and chemical data at 78 sites. They measured #nitrate and #phosphate levels, water temperature and pH. Well done to everyone involved! @epaireland.bsky.social @antaisce.bsky.social

That's a wrap on another Precipitation Monitoring Period for our #ClimateResilience Rainfall & Flooding schools. It was a very wet and wild time so well done to everyone who took part! #theGLOBEProgram #FloodingInIreland #CitizenScience #StormChandra @antaisce.bsky.social @epaireland.bsky.social
Infographic showing facts about the campaign monitoring period. Schools collected 4.5m  of rainfall across Ireland over 4 weeks! The highest daily total measured by a school was 47.7mm. You added over 800 measurements to GLOBE data base. Most common pH was 6.3. Leinster was the wettest province. Joined schools from Ukraine, Croatia and Malta for the monitoring period. Photographs of students with their rain gauges outside.  Blue background, orange bubbles with white type.

Thanks to #StormChandra, Week 3 has been another wet one for our #ClimateResilience:RainfalAndFlooding schools! We saw a variation in rain across the country, from 4mm to 47mm & our colleagues in Croatia also had a rainy week. What will Week 4 bring? @epaireland.bsky.social @antaisce.bsky.social
