Warming temperatures + decreasing relative humidity = more water being sucked from soil / reservoirs = DROUGHT. Simple physics. Europe + UK are on the frontline because they are warming so rapidly – it will get worse until 'net zero' is reached. That's my TED talk 🌍 www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cw...

UK weather: More than two-thirds of England now in drought with conditions set to worsen

The National Drought Agency adds the East Midlands, Kent, East Sussex, and other parts of England to the areas officially in drought conditions.

These temperatures are wildly unprecedented for June in the UK but the Met Office study, Kay et al (2025), looked at simulations of a stationary 2023 climate and found even 40C+ June days are very possible in the current climate (see figure 3f). rmets.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Looks like the UK heatwave will be killed by thunderstorms. Emerging research, from our group and others, suggests the threshold for triggering convection (i.e., thunderstorms) may increase in a warming climate, potentially enabling very hot days to warm more rapidly.

It was great to attend my first EGU in Vienna last week! I presented my current research looking into the asymmetric response of land temperatures to increasing vs decreasing CO2 concentrations. Recent results have pointed to a connection with the land hydroclimate, which I’m further investigating 🔎

🚨 NEW STUDY: As Australia prepares for another heatwave, our latest study found the early January heatwave which hit SE Australia was made 5x more likely due to climate change. What was once a relatively rare 1-in-25-year event is now expected about every 5 years. 🧵 1/6

Had a great time at the first Scottish Climate Conference last week! Big thanks to @annamackie.bsky.social and Alex Chaudhri for organising. Excited to see the event continue going forward!

🚨 New paper alert! ☁️ We define a diagnostic of convective entrainment in GCMs and investigate how this diagnosed value is connected to CAPE extremes and moist heatwaves in the tropics. You can find our paper in WCD, co-written with Marty Singh. doi.org/10.5194/wcd-...

Entrainment and the tropical tropospheric thermal structure in global climate models

Abstract. The observed relationship between stability and humidity in the tropical troposphere has been argued to be strongly influenced by moist convective entrainment (Palmer and Singh, 2024). In th...

🚨New paper on heatwaves in a net zero world 🚨 In our study, led by @sarahinscience.bsky.social, we find that the intensity, length and frequency of heatwaves do not return to pre-industrial levels under net zero - and in many regions barely improve at all. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...
