New paper: "Climate information use and needs for urban heat adaptation in Hamburg and Barcelona"🎉 Two years ago I got some scepticism when I said I was studying heat adaptation in Hamburg. After this summer, the sceptics are convinced. We interviewed 42 heat adaptation stakeholders in HH and BCN.

In 2024 and 2025, a spring drought hit Northern Germany, an extreme rainfall event led to severe flooding in Southern Germany, and a heatwave affected all of Germany. We find that people misestimate how frequently such events occur in the current climate with around 1.3°C of global warming.

The London Ambulance Service responded to the highest number of life-threatening emergencies in its history on Wednesday.

Temperatures soared to 36.1C in parts of the UK on Wednesday, and that record for June has been broken again today.

We often say this heat wave is a glimpse of our future. That's true, but it's only part of the story. Conditions like these will become more common, but even more intense heat waves will then emerge, with worsening impacts on people and ecosystems. Graphic from climate.copernicus.eu/esotc/2025/t...
