Europe has experienced an extremely hot summer. We've exceeded the 5% hottest days of the last 35 years many times over, making this summer the worst we have seen yet. More graphs here: woutermol.com/writings/202...

I still can’t wrap my head around heatwave/drought news articles that don’t mention climate change. The best this article can do is say “this has been a year like no other”. Heatwaves are hotter because of climate change, predominantly driven by burning fossil fuels. www.bbc.co.uk/weather/arti...

Amber heat health alerts for almost all of England as next heatwave begins

The amber alerts will be in place until Friday evening to cover high and even extreme temperatures expected through this week.

The rise in Niño 3.4 region sea surface temperatures over the past few weeks has been nothing short of astonishing. We are now hotter than any days during the 1997/1998 super El Niño event, and we are still many months from the peak.

Ein Tag für die Geschichtsbücher. Leider keiner, auf den man gerne zurückblickt. 🔸41°C in Wien-Stammersdorf ➡️ Österreich-Rekord 🔸An 51 Stationen so heiß wie noch nie 🔸Insgesamt 101 August-Rekorde 🔸9-mal 40 Grad, im Jahr 2026 bereits 14-mal (vor 2026 insgesamt nur 3-mal!)

What a privilige to be part of this record heat... Tonight's forecast minima are even crazier: Geosphere's AROME-EPS has 26-29C, DWD's ID2-EPS ~24-27C. Daily mean temperature is going to be well over 30C and therefore a huge record.

Today’s GFS 18Z for 11 July showing max temperatures in England reaching 41°C Not to be taken as a deterministic forecast. However, this suggests that yet more extreme heat is possible in the next few weeks, which is made more likely and intense by climate change driven by burning fossil fuels.

"How extreme (i.e., unusual) is the heat in the UK?" "Yes" (Current weather is far out of anything previously observed. This plot shows the extreme forecast index and forecast CDFs, see charts.ecmwf.int for more details)

@GeoSphere_AT hat für das Wochenende die höchste Hitzewarnstufe aktiviert: Villach, Klagenfurt, Graz & das Gebiet von Wels bis in den Osten. Stand heute wird der Sonntag der heißeste Tag: In Wien könnte erstmals überhaupt die 40°-Marke erreicht werden, Tiefstwert am Montag: ~26°.

Something exciting that I'm currently working on is adding vertical cross-sections to the ESSL Radar Displayer. And one of the more interesting phenomena that I've seen in them is debris fallout from the tops of storms with violent tornadoes. Here is an example of precisely 4 years ago today:

So this is pretty amazing - yesterday EarthCARE sampled Hurricane Humberto straight across the eye! The eye of a tropical cyclone is small so a direct hit is rare: this is the first time EarthCARE has hit one after over a year in orbit! (Showing here also VIIRS on NOAA-20 for context.)
