There are still very extensive bare areas where it ain't coming back. We've still had very little rain in this area - just 20mm since the 1st August

Yes, I'm not sure about Meteoblue. ECMWF run their own AI model, plus there are the ones from the big tech companies of course.

You need a new weather app. 'Feels like' of 3C is ridiculous. More like 12C overnight next few days i.e. normal October weather!

AI has proved to be remarkably good at weather forecasting. The development of this tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico will provide an interesting test over the next few days as the AI predictions are significantly different to those from conventional models

I officially declare autumn! The scrub-bashing season has begun for conservation volunteers. In this case, clearing invasive birch to improve heather cover on acid heathland.

Today is the 117th consecutive day somewhere in the UK has recorded a temperature of 20°C or higher. The 11th of June was the last time we didn't reach this threshold. Fresher air comes in on Wednesday allowing temperatures to fall, and likely to stay just below 20°C.

Spectacular cloudage above the Surrey Hills today. Cirrocumulus in bands converging towards the horizon, composed of supercooled water droplets producing spectacular iridescence through diffraction. Virga trails of heavier ice crystals drifted down where the water droplets froze spontaneously.

Yesterday I hosted a screening of the People's Emergency Briefing in a local village hall. Over 80 people turned up on a warm sunny Sunday afternoon to find out the facts about the climate and nature emergency. Find a screening near you #nationalemergencybriefing www.nebriefing.org/screening-map

Is your ivy flowering? Please don't cut it back if you can avoid it! At this time of year in the UK, ivy flowers are a brilliant late season pit-stop for hard-pressed pollinators like bees, butterflies, hoverflies and moths 🐝 #gardening #wildlife #nature

Major flash flooding in Spain yesterday. In Madrigueras (Albacete), 142 mm fell in just 2.5 hours, killing one woman, while many others had to be rescued. These "DANA" events are not uncommon, but record warm Mediterranean water now provides further 'fuel' to them. www.eltiempo.es/noticias/mad...

Would that be the models which have been pretty much spot-on in their predictions so far? None of the natural variability factors you mention can account for the current changes - if anything, we should be cooling slightly. But you're clearly not interested in reality and I have better things to do.

Peter Gibbs @petergibbs.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

The pre-industrial mechanisms are well understood, as is the human contribution to the current changes. We're well on the way to doubling the amount of stuff that keeps the planet warm and so it's getting a lot hotter. It's not difficult.

But they didn't cause it. And it was nothing like as rapid.

Lowest on record (1866-2026)! The water level in the Rhine keeps reaching new lows. 6.12 m above sea level already was a new all-time low in August, but now we're at 6.06 m, and still going down.

Temperatures in the Central Pacific El Niño region are the hottest ever measured (top panel), and far above any other El Niño at this time of year. But, if you adjust for the warming of the global ocean, the current trajectory is not so different from other very strong events.

Not a wasp or a hornet, but a hornet-mimicking hoverfly! Volucella zonaria is the largest hoverfly species in the UK, first spotted in southern England in the 1930s and gradually expanding its range northwards.

The Rhine is in uncharted territory. Normal flow where it enters the Netherlands is around 1,500 m³/s in September. Now it's well below 600 m³/s... and still going down.

🤯 Temp rise at heart of El Niño in Pacific Ocean has now reached 3.05°C 📍 higher than 3.02°C set in late Nov 2015 (which was higher than in the 150 years of modern records) 📍 most recent forecasts predict a peak of 4.0°C in Novand Dec

Graph shows daily sea surface temperatures for Niño 3.4, highlighting a significant rise, peaking near 30°C in late 2023.

Today I found my first seabean. This seed has travelled a long way to reach #Shetland. Starting it's journey in a tropical forest, travelling with ocean currents and washing up with our first autumn storms. A little piece of luck and joy to hold onto as daylight fades and winter approaches.
