🌡️ The unusually early and intense European heatwave demonstrates how quickly climate extremes are becoming the new normal rather than the exception
The latest @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social climate bulletin shows that May 2026 was the second warmest May globally.
🌊 Exceptionally high sea surface temperatures in the subtropical Pacific (not an El Niño signal yet)
Fun pseudo mammatus clouds in London today; dodging the hail, however, was less fun…

The European State of the Climate Report is launched today:
🌐 more than 40 datasets
👩🔬 over 100 scientists
🗺️ > 130 charts and graphics
🌍 🌡️ Europe is the fastest warming continent, with temperatures rising at around twice the global average rate

Peak spring in Oxfordshire! Love this time of year in 🇬🇧 - the fragrance from the bluebells and wisteria is enchanting 🌸☀️ #spring #blossom
Latest C3S seasonal forecast:
- El Niño is increasingly likely in 2026
- Over 50% of the C3S multi-system ensemble now exceed 2.5°C amplitude in Niño3.4 by the end of the forecast
If an El Niño does develop in 2026 it will be with much warmer ocean temperatures than the 2023/24 El Niño… 🌊🧪⚒️🌏
April 2026:
joint 3rd warmest April on record.
New Copernicus climate data show near-record ocean heat, widespread marine heatwaves, low Arctic sea ice & sharp contrasts across Europe.
A climate increasingly shaped by extremes.

May 2026 was the second warmest May globally according to @copernicusecmwf.bsky.social
📈 The recent European heatwave followed a rapid transition from below average temperatures and this likely increased impacts on people, crops and ecosystems
