🌡️ Another day with stations in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 measuring over >35°C yesterday, and potentially one more today. Summer on steroids.

Another day with temperatures >35°C in the Netherlands' south yesterday. All land stations except Den Helder and the Frisian Islands measured temperatures >30°C.

Åland today.

🌡️ The warmth peaks today in Finland, with regionally 26-28°C inland. ⛈️ In the afternoon and evening, (severe) thunderstorms move from southwest to northeast over the country. ⚠️The storms can especially be severe in parts of western, central and northern Finland.

The Rhine’s discharge keeps setting new summer record lows. And we’re still only in July.

🫗 The Rhine at Lobith has now reached its lowest discharge ever recorded *in the entire summer* (June–August).

Strong convective rainfall incoming 🌧️

Strong aurora activity seems to be present, but the nights are still far too bright in Finland this time of year. Photo taken at 23:15 local time.

Not sure if cumulonimbus or nuke (😉)

🥶 Just as we're entering the climatologically warmest period of the year (late July), today will be remarkably cold. The forecast maximum temperature at Helsinki Airport today is only around 14°C - roughly 9°C below the late-July median.

I've never seen anything like it. Salta, Argentina, has just recorded its hottest night on record during the climatologically coldest time of the year. The minimum overnight temperature did not fall below 26°C (78.8°F), pulverizing the previous monthly record by 7°C.

Wow, -84.1°C! 🥶 Concordia🇦🇶 measures a temperature only half a degree above its all-time cold record (August 2010). According to @pinturicchio60.bsky.social, this is the lowest temperature recorded on Earth since 2012.

A large area from southwestern to central and eastern Finland will see large sums of rain this weekend, regionally up to 70-100 mm.

Mooi dat dit onderwerp nu ook breder wordt opgepakt. Voor een Nederlandstalige uitleg: ik schreef hier vorig jaar al over voor Trouw, over de groeiende energie-onbalans, afnemend albedo en rol van broeikasgassen. Lees het hier: 👇🇳🇱 www.trouw.nl/wetenschap/w...

We hoeven niet te rekenen op een meevaller op klimaatgebied, laten nieuwe metingen zien

De aarde slaat meer energie op dan eruit gaat. Wetenschappers waarschuwen dat klimaatmodellen die uitgaan van de minste opwarming geen steun vinden bij de observaties in de echte wereld.

Observations from space show that the brightness with which Earth shines is dimming. Seen from afar, the home planet is looking steadily darker

🌍 NASA's CERES satellites show that Earth's energy imbalance has more than doubled since the early 2000s. The planet absorbs substantially more energy than it emits back to space. This means that warming in the coming years *could* outpace previous expectations.

🫗 Yesterday, the Rhine at Lobith reached its lowest level ever recorded in July. And we’re only halfway through the month.

A glimpse of Europe’s changing climate: 🫗 Rhine & Meuse are exceptionally low for mid-July - discharge levels normally seen in Sep/Oct. 🚢 Shipping and industry are already affected. 🌧️ Little effective rain expected, Rhine flows may fall below 1976 levels 📉

Convection is initiating in southern Finland again. Thunderstorms and torrential rain are possible.

Majestetic Arcus clouds in Helsinki 🌩️Summer heat, thunderstorms and a exciting Norway-England football match. What more can a meteorologist wish for the summer holidays that just started? 😎

Very intense thunderstorms moving inland in/from the capital area right now. Take caution!

☀️ Warmth returns to Finland, but so do heavy showers and thunderstorms ⚡️ The highest risk in southern Finland: ⛈️ Saturday night into Sunday ⛈️ Sunday daytime The MEPS latest forecast loop below shows where the heaviest showers may develop. (1/2)

A warm and humid lower atmosphere causes a strongly unstable atmospheric profile, with remarkably high CAPE values for southern Finland. As a consequence, there's a risk for high lightning activity and torrential rainfall. (2/2)

Beautiful convective clouds in the capital region today ⛈️

Very intense rainfall on some embedded cells around the capital area in Finland. 🌧️⛈️ Some of those cells were seemingly triggered by (colliding) outflow boundaries from thunderstorms upstream.

🌡️ Unprecedented June heat across Svalbard, led by extreme spikes at the highest latitudes! Final monthly data shows Karl XII-øya (80.65N) shattered its June record reaching 0.8°C (prev 0.2°C), while Verlegenhuken (80.05N) crushed its 2024 record by a massive 0.8°C, hitting 3.2°C.

Longyearbyen (Svalbard) measured it's warmest June on record. 🌡️ Monthly mean temperature: 6.4°C Already surpassing the June of the record summer 2024 (6.1°C)

About last week: De Bilt - the Netherlands' main weather station - measured the highest June temperature on record: 36.8°C compared to 36.1°C in June 1947. (1/5)
