First drone footage of #CycloneJude impact shows devastation from winds & widespread flooding in #Mozambique’s #Nampula province. This is the *third* cyclone of the current season - a large scale response will be needed to support the 100s of thousands of people being impacted.

#CycloneJude hitting #Mozambique now, threatening destruction across Nampula & Zambezia. Around 1m people at risk, with 1200 schools and 120 health care facilities likely to be put out of action. UNICEF is on the ground, ready to respond, but needs will likely exceed capacity.

Fabulous day with Reading University Water Group led by JessNeumann and @hancloke.bsky.social with PhD+ post doc students river testing on Dorking River Mole stretch. Great to meet talented academics from all over the world researching water qual and AI flood forecasting and interested in our river

An interesting / worrying forecast for the South West Indian Ocean, with another tropical cyclone on the way. @ecmwf.bsky.social IFS: growing likelihood of the cyclone making 2nd landfall in MDG. AI models: storm staying out in Moz channel, or even landfall in MOZ charts.ecmwf.int/products/cyc...

Horrific scenes of devastation coming to light in the path of cyclone #Chido after its rampage across the N tip of Madagascar, and more notably across the island of Mayotte, ahead of its landfall in North Mozambique, where it's now weakening Wind gusts hit 160mph Many killed

Climate data from @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social shows, it is virtual certainty that 2024 will be the warmest year on record and the first calendar year above 1.5°C. This does not mean the Paris Agreement has been breached, it means ambitious #climateaction is more urgent than ever 🧪⚒️🌏🌡️📈
